+- Light alloys --- metals with densities of less than 4.5 gcm$^{-1}$ and typically less than 3
+                   characterised by higher strength to weight ratio than typical steel alloys
+- Cast --- as-cast condition. Cooling rate and grain refiners are key to improve strength and toughness
+- Wrought --- (rolled, extruded, forged) Properties rely on appropriate heat treatment or working
+              such as precipitation hardening or work hardening
