This edited book provides a brief overview of recent advances in aluminum alloys, focusing on production techniques, key properties, advanced applications, and recent technologies that enhance their performance. Aerospace, automotive, marine, and energy industries depend heavily on aluminum alloys for their light weight, corrosion resistance, and tensile strength. This book covers the fundamentals of aluminum alloys, plasma-based surface treatments, corrosion mechanisms and their protection techniques, and the evolution of aluminum alloy microstructure during selective laser melting. This book also compares conventional and energy-assisted milling methods. Each chapter discusses these topics in a simple manner, highlighting improvements in durability, manufacturability, and overall performance. By integrating fundamental concepts with advanced processing techniques, the volume bridges theory and practice while maintaining strong industrial relevance. This book is highly useful for postgraduate students, researchers, academicians, and engineers, as it provides practical insights and a solid foundation for further research, technology development, and innovation in aluminum alloy science and engineering.
