ONE OF A FOUR-BOOK COLLECTION SPOTLIGHTING CLASSIC ARTICLES Five decades of landmark original research findings and reviews Highlighting some of the most important findings reported over the past five decades, this volume features some of the best technical papers published on alumina and bauxite from 1963 to 2011. Papers have been divided into thirteen subject sections for ease of access. Each section has a brief introduction and a list of recommended articles for researchers interested in exploring each subject in greater depth. Only about fifteen percent of the alumina and bauxite papers ever published in Light Metals were chosen for this volume. Selection was based on a rigorous review process. Among the papers, readers will find landmark original research findings and expert reviews summarizing current thinking on key topics at the time of publication. From basic research to advanced applications, the articles published in this volume collectively represent our body of knowledge in alumina and bauxite. Students, scientists, and engineers should turn to this volume to discover the historical development of alumina and bauxite research as well as the current state of the science and the technology. Moreover, the papers published in this volume will serve as a springboard for future research and discoveries.

Thoroughly revised and updated, this third edition of lan Polmear’s Light Alloys provides the definitive overview of the metallurgy of aluminum, magnesium and titanium alloys. The emphasis remains on manufacturing processes and application areas, in which there have been significant advances in recent years. The extraction of each metal is considered briefly, followed by its casting characteristics and alloying behavior. Sections on heat treatment properties, fabrication and major applications have been expanded to give more comprehensive coverage of the subjects. Particular attention has been paid to microstructure/property relationships as well as to the role of the individual alloying elements, and new materials and novel processes are reviewed in an additional chapter. This succinct and informative introduction to the physical metallurgy of the light alloys will be essential reading for advanced undergraduates in metallurgy, materials science, manufacturing and mechanical engineering. It will also prove invaluable to metallu## gists and engineers in industry seeking to expand on their knowledge.
