Aircraft materials and processes.(EDITORIAL)

Because fuel efficiency and low emissions are critical for today's aircraft, the aerospace industry is frequently the source of innovative developments. Many of these materials and processes would be suitable for automotive, chemical process, heavy equipment, medical device, and other industries. Presentations at this year's AeroMat conference cover corrosion-resistant alloys, low-density materials, advanced joining methods, high-temperature materials, and innovative processing techniques that solve problems for aerospace manufacturers today, and for other industries in the future
