Ram Prabhu The last decade has witnessed remarkable research and development of novel lightweight alloys for automotive, aviation, and structural components. The editors Dr. R. Vaira Vignesh, Dr. R. Padmanaban, and Dr. M. Govindaraju have made a timely book on Advances in Processing of Lightweight Metal Alloys and Compos- ites. The book has touched upon the essentials of lightweight metal alloys processing, post-processing, joining methodologies, and the industry’s future trends. The salient features of the book are as follows: . Detailed documentation of promising and novel research trends in the solid-state welding and processing of lightweight metallic materials. . Overview of recent additive manufacturing trends in the industry for aluminum, magnesium, and titanium alloys. . Comprehensive analysis of the microstructural evolution and properties of aluminum and magnesium alloys subjected to solid-state welding/processing. A significant effort has been made to elucidate the future trends of materials research. The book will benefit researchers, academicians, scientists, and engineers who want to delve deeper into the subject. I wish all the best to the editors in all their endeavors. Dr. T. Ram Prabhu Joint Director, Defence Research Development Organization, Ministry of Defence Government of India Bengaluru, Karnataka, India vii Foreword by Dr. Shantanu Bhowmik The rapid progress of and the numerous research conducted under the aegis of mate- rials science and manufacturing make it challenging to interpret the facts accumulated over a decade. This book on Advances in Processing of Lightweight Metal Alloys and Compos- ites, edited by Dr. R. Vaira Vignesh, Dr. R. Padmanaban, and Dr. M. Govindaraju, provides a number of chapters that are excellent examples of research work applied to relevant metallurgical problems. This book covers the critical areas in lightweight metallic materials, including the recent advancements in additive manufacturing processes. I believe the book would extract the technical fundamentals of processing lightweight metal alloys and composites. The authors have presented the modern engineering problems associated with the processing and characterizing of advanced materials. This book forms a valuable addition to the existing body of knowledge. It is primarily intended for the students, scholars, and researchers devoting them- selves to researching lightweight materials, composites, and solid-state welding and processing. The authors and editors of the book deserve appreciation for shaping a sensible and applied book. Dr. Shantanu Bhowmik Professor, Department of Aerospace Engineering Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham Coimbatore, India Adjunct Professor, Center for Future Materials University of Southern Queensland Toowoomba, Australia ix Foreword by Dr. A. Srinivasan I am happy to extend my good wishes to Dr. R. Vaira Vignesh, Dr. R. Padmanaban, and Dr. M. Govindaraju for their book Advances in Processing of Lightweight Metal Alloys and Composites.

Srinivasan Principal Scientist, CSIR—National Institute for Interdisciplinary Science and Technology (NIIST), Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Ministry of Science and Technology Government of India Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India xi Preface This book is a compilation of the collective knowledge of students, instructors, and researchers on the subject of lightweight materials (alloys and composites) and their uses, in both academic and professional contexts. Several industries currently use lightweight materials extensively as a critical component in creating cutting-edge products. As a result, the need for understanding and using lightweight materials has multiplied, as has the number of users in this field. In order to introduce both new and established users to this field, there was a need for organized learning material. Several renowned, widely acknowledged, and excellent texts in lightweight materials exist. However, almost all of these texts are advanced and go into great detail about fabrication techniques. As a result, a substantial unmet demand for high-quality educational materials that emphasize the characterization of lightweight material remains open. This book aims to satisfy that need. We hope this book would offer the reader a clear, comprehensive, and useful introduction to the processing and characterization of lightweight materials. The first five chapters (Chaps. 1–5) of this book introduce the essentials of lightweight materials to a novice reader. The following six chapters (Chaps. 6–11) deal with the essence of existing knowledge on liquid state processing and solid-state welding of lightweight alloys. The subsequent seven chapters (Chaps. 12–18) are dedicated to some relatively recent topics in the solid-state processing of lightweight alloys and composites. The next three chapters (Chaps. 19–21) deal with the machin- ability characteristics of lightweight alloys and composites. The last four chapters (Chaps. 22–25) provide a brief account of current trends in additive manufacturing of lightweight materials. Researchers working in various disciplines, including metallurgy, materials science and engineering, manufacturing engineering, and production engineering, will find this book as a handy reference. Using the content wisely, this book can also be used as a text for one-semester undergraduate and graduate courses in lightweight materials. The contributions of many people fruition a book of this caliber. Without the teamwork of members from our respective research groups, this book would xiii
