Introduction:
LightMAT 2023 provides a platform for academic and industrial researchers, scientists, and engineers to present and discuss the recent development and progress made in Magnesium, Aluminium, Titanium and their alloys and materials combinations.
The materials are viewed individually or in multi-material designs, including processing, joining, and corrosion protection. In addition, LightMAT 2023 will focus on Eco-Efficiency in materials and processes. In this context, we address the question: What are the innovative research business models for materials and material processes shearing with industrial needs for contributing to the accelerated material circularity, sustainability, and also to the dematerialization of our economy related to less dependency on primary materials?
LightMAT 2023 provides a platform for academic and industrial researchers, scientists, and engineers to present and discuss the recent development and progress made in Magnesium, Aluminium, Titanium and their alloys and materials combinations. Beyond the metals standard processes and primary applications are addressed, intended to provide comparison and cross-fertilization, giving a comprehensive overview of individual advances, challenges, and highlights, covering:
Conventional and advanced lightweight applications and products in automotive, aerospace, and other relevant transport and applications
Fundamental aspects of the three metallic lightweight materials and their alloys, their processing and (physical) metallurgy issues involved
Microstructure evolution, related properties, and advanced simulation
Industrial fabrication, processing, joining, and corrosion protection issues
Additive Manufacturing of metallic structures enabling novel lightweight designs
Formability and advanced forming of light alloys to shape complex parts
