Improved light metals based on aluminum, magnesium, titanium and the intermetallic titanium aluminides are necessary to enhance the performance capability of aerospace systems. Key to these developments are innovative synthesis techniques which will allow novel microstructures and improved mechanical property combinations Developments in eight areas are reviewed in this paper: ingot metallurgy, castings, rapid solidification, mechanical alloying, spray deposition, electron beam vapor deposition, thermochemical processing, and engineered materials (metal matrix composites).
