The versatility of aluminium makes it the most widely used metal after steel. By utilising various combinations of their advantageous properties such as strength, lightness, corrosion resistance, recyclability, and formability, aluminium alloys are being employed in an ever-increasing number of applications. In the recent decade, a rapid new development has been made in production of aluminium alloys, and new techniques of casting, forming, welding, and surface modification, have been evolved to improve the structural integrity of aluminium alloys. This Special Issue covers wide scope of recent progress and new developments regarding all aspects of aluminium alloys, including processing, forming, welding, microstructure and mechanical property, creep, fatigue, corrosion and surface behavior, thermodynamics, modeling, and application of different aluminum alloys. 606 $aAluminum alloys 615 0$aAluminum alloys. 676 $a620.186 702 $aGao$b Nong 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910674376603321 996 $aAluminum alloys$9228410 997 $aUNINA
