Introduction and ScopeAcademia and industry alike are faced with an ever-growing demand for energy-efficiency and reduced mass
Our research efforts have been focused on three main areas: ultrafine-grained (UFG) aluminum alloys produced by severe plastic deformation; aluminum matrix composites (AMCs); and aluminum-based composite materials
A key topic studied in the Research Center is the science and engineering of ultrafine-grained materials produced by severe plastic deformation (SPD), where large amounts of plastic deformation at room temperature lead to a gradual formation of very fine grains via the stages of accumulation of dislocations in cell walls and the formation of small and large angle grain boundaries [1]
Summary
Academia and industry alike are faced with an ever-growing demand for energy-efficiency and reduced mass. The framework of SFB 692 has served as a basis for numerous scientific collaborations between scientists from the fields of materials science, design engineering, forming technology, production engineering, mechanics, and even economics—in Chemnitz, and with many well-established experts throughout the world. This Special Issue, comprising 15 scientific papers, represents a joint effort to provide a broad overview of our research activities in the field of aluminum-based light-weight materials, and to bring some recent and relevant results to the attention of a wider international audience
