The functional performances of light alloys can be significantly affected by their surface properties; in fact, the surface can be considered as the “visiting card” of the material for its working environment (e.g., it can drive the biological response upon implantation for titanium alloys intended for biomedical implants or it can affect the joining ability of aluminum and magnesium alloys) as well as for its further material working steps (e.g., coatings). Surface engineering is a versatile tool for the modification of material surfaces in order to tailor and improve their functional properties. The aim of the present Special Issue is to present the latest development in this field through research and review papers. In particular, the topics of interest include, but are not limited to, surface engineering of light alloys for biomedical applications, surface engineering of light alloys for joining and coatings applications, surface engineering of light alloys for corrosion protection, and surface engineering of light alloys for antibacterial/antifouling purposes.Research & information: generalbicsscMg alloycorrosion protectionhydrothermal synthesiscoatingdegradable implanttitaniumgallic acidpolyphenolssurface functionalizationmetal implantsaluminum alloysbrazingsurface preparationinterface reactionsjoiningmicrostructurephase/composition in reaction layerNi-P coatingsNi3P phaseMg alloysAZ91heat treatmentmicrohardnesscrystallite sizeion irradiationdislocationirradiation defectmicrocrystalantibacterial activitybone growthapatite formationsilverstrontiumcalcium titanateion releasecytotoxicitycontrolled releasebiodegradable magnesiumdopamineImpedance behaviormolecular dynamic simulationaluminum oxide layersnanostructuretribological wearsurface morphologythermo-chemical treatmentartificial salivalubricantzirconiatitanium alloyswearResearch & information: generalFerraris Saraedt1339020Ferraris SaraothBOOK9910674049103321Surface Engineering of Light Alloys3059545UNINA
