Lightweight Construction with Non-Ferrous Metals, Now and in the Future
It seems that although these light metals have been crucial in facilitating the trend to reduce weight, particularly in the automotive and aerospace industries, there is a suggestion that single materials will not be used going forward. It is highly possible that better weight reduction, while still maintaining strength, could be better managed by using alloys and material composite technologies.
