SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The world market\U+2019\s increasing demands for lightweight constructions as a means of reducing fuel consumption in transportation systems, together with shrinking materials resources, are becoming factors of major importance. These aspects are\U+00a0\ further underlined by current efforts aimed at reducing the greenhouse-gas emissions caused by production processes. In this context, considerate use of energy-intensive materials, such as aluminum, plays a major role. This\U+00a0\ increasingly important interplay between technological development, simulation of production processes and problems of integration are reflected in this interesting collection of peer-reviewed articles by leading experts in their fields. It outlines key aspects of the theoretical and experimental work involved\U+00a0\ in\U+00a0\ setting up a processing route. It will be invaluable reading material for all of those working in process design.
