Preface
It is my honor to present the Light Metals 2019 proceedings and to welcome you to the TMS 2019 Annual Meeting and Exhibition in San Antonio. I hope that being the second woman to edit this respected publication is an indication of increasing and ongoing inclusion and diversity in the light metals community. TMS has always been welcoming to me, both as a woman and as a chemical engineer rather than a metallurgist. The aluminum industry has continued to change in the past year with the announcement of Elysis, a joint venture to scale up and commercialize a revolutionary smelting technology that emits oxygen and eliminates greenhouse gases. If successful, this technology could help solve one of the major challenges of our industry and our world. In the meantime, a number of manufacturers have introduced certified low-carbon products and products made with 100% recycled metal. No matter what smelting technology is used in the future, recycling, reduced energy consumption, and lower environmental impact will continue to be important to our industry. These proceedings reflect an incredible effort by all the authors and their organizations in conducting their research and preparing the manuscripts that are published
