Abstract
Abstract: This chapter highlights the manufacturing processes used to fabricate lightweight automotive parts. The chapter provides an overview of aluminum and magnesium alloys; describes design issues and manufacturing challenges for light alloys; highlights commonly used metal casting and metal forming processes; identifies enablers to significantly increase the use of light alloys in the production of automotive parts; and describes some of the promising metal forming technologies for light alloys.
