Lättänä
Lättänä is a Swedish term that translates to "light aluminum" or "lightened aluminum." It generally refers to alloys of aluminum that have been specifically developed or treated to reduce their density while maintaining sufficient strength for various applications. These alloys are crucial in industries where weight reduction is a primary concern, such as aerospace, automotive, and sporting goods.
The development of lättänä alloys involves alloying aluminum with lighter elements like magnesium and silicon, or
Applications of lättänä are diverse. In the automotive sector, they contribute to improved fuel efficiency and
