The focus of this paper is set on technical achievements and challenges - however, these are most often closely linked to economical or ecological targets set by customers or society. Ideally, an alloy or process optimization leads to improved properties, reduced cost, and reduced emissions. With a continuously growing understanding of the underlying materials science, supported by novel computer simulation, improved alloys and processing routes have been developed. Many of the recent improvements were related to the thermal-mechanical treatment of high strength alloys for enhanced light weight design. Currently and in the future, the focus will be on sustainable development along the entire process chain, with special attention to the recycling of used products and high recycled content in new products. The optimized utilization of resources (e.g. materials, energy, etc.) will require the close cooperation of materials suppliers, product designers and manufacturers as well as R&D facilities to reconsider given material specifications and processing routes.

The demand for safer, lighter and more fuel efficient vehicles has led to the market entry of light weight construction, with the use of advanced high strength steels, engineering plastic and light weight metals. Maximum weight savings potential will be limited if these are used in isolation. Chemistry based structural adhesives and foams enable the intelligent use of all three weight saving methodologies to overcome the problems of safety, quality and high processing cost.

Light weight materials which possess high strength and durability are being utilized by the automotive industry to increase fuel economy. Rapidly solidified (RS) Al alloys are currently being extensively studied for this purpose. In this investigation the microstructure of an extruded Al-8Fe-2Mo alloy, produced by Pratt & Whitney Aircraft, Goverment Products Div. was examined in a JE0L 2000FX AEM. Both electropolished thin sections, and extraction replicas were examined to characterize this material. The consolidation procedure for producing this material included a 9:1 extrusion at 340°C followed by a 16:1 extrusion at 400°C, utilizing RS powders which have also been characterized utilizing electron microscopy.
