Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the investigation of metallic materials, primarily aluminum and magnesium alloys. Research includes their microstructural stability, phase transformations, and mechanical properties under various conditions such as heat treatment, aging, and strain rate variations. The journal also covers processing techniques like friction stir welding, anodizing, and casting, as well as the effects of impurities and recycling on alloy performance. Corrosion behavior and methods to improve adhesion and surface properties are also key areas of study.
