The use of lightweight materials in automotive application has greatly increased
in the past two decades. A need to meet customer demands for vehicle safety,
performance and fuel efficiency has accelerated the development, evaluation
and employment of new lightweight materials and processes.
 
The 50 SAE Technical papers contained in this publication document the processes,
guidelines, and physical and mechanical properties that can be applied to the
selection and design of lightweight components for automotive applications.
 
The book starts off with an introduction section containing two 1920 papers that
examine the use of aluminum in automobiles. Each of the following chapters starts
with a historical paper chosen from the early years of SAE; these papers represent
the first to discuss the general topic.
 
Topic areas covered include:
  Design, analysis, and modeling
  Wrought aluminum alloys
  Cast aluminum processes and technologies
  Cast aluminum metallurgy and properties
  Case studies
