Abstract
The demand for lightweight and high-performance materials in product design has increased recently in the automotive, marine, transportation, and aerospace industries (Schweitzer, 2003; Kaufman, 2000). In these kinds of enterprises, losing weight is necessary to increase fuel efficiency, increase payload capacity, and comply with greenhouse gas emission regulations. Using more sophisticated light materials is the most efficient technique to reduce weight without compromising design performance (Mouritz, 2012, Singh et al. 2019a-c). The industry offers a wide range of lightweight technical materials, such as alloys made of titanium, magnesium, and aluminium. Aluminium alloys are widely utilised in the aerospace, transportation, shipbuilding, and other industries due to their high strength to weight ratio and resistance to corrosive agents.
