"In 2011 the fifth "Light Metals Technology Conference" is held in Lüneburg (Germany). ... The conference focuses on ongoing topics of research in the light metals aluminium, magnesium and titanium as well as titanium aluminides. Scientific aspects such as mechanical properties, corrosion, processing innovations but also current applications like aerospace, automotive or medical will also be discussed. Sociological questions such as environmental challenges and implementations are additional focuses."--Preface.
