Proceedings of the International Conference on Light Materials for Transportation Systems (LiMAT-2001) (2nd) Held in Pusan, Korea on May 6-10, 2001. Volume 2

Abstract : This proceedings emanates from an interdisciplinary materials conference, the objective of which was to provide a forum for scientific exchange among materials researchers from the aerospace, automotive, civil, marine, and rail- transportation industries. The theme of need to develop improved lightweight materials is common to each of those industries. Papers within the proceedings focus on titanium, magnesium, and aluminum alloys, intermetallics, and metal/ceramic composites. Emphasis is placed on fabrication, mechanical properties, microstructural studies, corrosion, and fundamental modeling.
