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. 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 610 $aMg alloy 610 $acorrosion protection 610 $ahydrothermal synthesis 610 $acoating 610 $adegradable implant 610 $atitanium 610 $agallic acid 610 $apolyphenols 610 $asurface functionalization 610 $ametal implants 610 $aaluminum alloys 610 $abrazing 610 $asurface preparation 610 $ainterface reactions 610 $ajoining 610 $amicrostructure 610 $aphase/composition in reaction layer 610 $aNi-P coatings 610 $aNi3P phase 610 $aMg alloys 610 $aAZ91 610 $aheat treatment 610 $amicrohardness 610 $acrystallite size 610 $aion irradiation 610 $adislocation 610 $airradiation defect 610 $amicrocrystal 610 $aantibacterial activity 610 $abone growth 610 $aapatite formation 610 $asilver 610 $astrontium 610 $acalcium titanate 610 $aion release 610 $acytotoxicity 610 $acontrolled release 610 $abiodegradable magnesium 610 $adopamine 610 $aImpedance behavior 610 $amolecular dynamic simulation 610 $aaluminum oxide layers 610 $ananostructure 610 $atribological wear 610 $asurface morphology 610 $athermo-chemical treatment 610 $aartificial saliva 610 $alubricant 610 $azirconia 610 $atitanium alloys 610 $awear 615 7$aResearch & information: general 700 $aFerraris$b Sara$4edt$01339020 702 $aFerraris$b Sara$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910674049103321 996 $aSurface Engineering of Light Alloys$93059545 997 $aUNINA
