Abstract This chapter summarises the development and limitations of the first and second generation Al–Li alloys, and then discusses the recent developments leading to the third generation alloys. Emphasis is placed on the physical metallurgy of Al–Li alloys, progressive development of the three generations of these alloys, and finally the strategies for obtaining improved property combinations via various microstructural modifications closely linked to multistage processing. The way forward for Indian development of Al–Li alloys is also briefly discussed.
