TMS has always been welcoming to me, both as a woman and as a chemical engineer rather than a metallurgist. Thealuminumindustryhascontinuedtochangeinthepastyearwiththeannouncementof Elysis,ajointventuretoscaleupandcommercializearevolutionarysmeltingtechnologythat emitsoxygenandeliminatesgreenhousegases.Ifsuccessful,thistechnologycouldhelpsolve one of the major challenges of our industry and our world. In the meantime, a number of manufacturers have introduced certified low-carbon products and products made with 100% recycled metal. No matter what smelting technology is used in the future, recycling, reduced energy consumption, and lower environmental impact will continue to be important to our industry. These proceedings reflect an incredible effort by all the authors and their organizations in conducting their research and preparing the manuscripts that are published here. I would like to thank all of them for their work; their contributions continue to make Light Metals the pre-eminent annual publication for technical information on aluminum production processes. As in the past, this volume contains research and development papers on aluminum pro- cessesorganizedintothetraditionalLightMetalssymposia:AluminaandBauxite;Aluminum Alloys, Processing, and Characterization; Aluminum Reduction Technology; Cast Shop Technology;andElectrodeTechnologyforAluminumProduction.Italsoincludestwospecial symposia for 2019: Ultrasonic Processing of Liquid and Solidifying Alloys and Scandium Extraction and Use in Aluminum Alloys. We are honored to also have included papers on aluminum processing from two joint symposia: REWAS 2019: Cast Shop Recycling Tech- nologies and the TMS-DGM Symposium on Lightweight Metals: A Joint US-European Symposium on Challenges in Light Weighting the Transportation Industry. This last sym- posium is the result of a Memorandum of Understanding between TMS and the German Materials Society (DGM). I would like to thank the subject chairs and symposium organizers for all of their hard work: Sébastien Fortin, Hiromi Nagaumi, Marc Dupuis, Pierre-Yves Menet, Lorentz Petter Lossius, Nigel Ricketts, John Grandfield, Dmitry Eskin, Mertol Gökelma, Eric Nyberg, Wim Sillekens, Norbert Hort, and Jürgen Hirsch. I also appreciate the guidance of the previous editors,OlivierMartinandArneRatvik.Finally,mysincerethankstoallthewonderfulstaffat TMS who guided us through the production of these proceedings.
