[en] A brief review is made of the latest developments in the production of Aluminium-Lithium alloys. The necessity for new materials in the field of aeronautics has speeded up research on metallic and non-metallic materials. Lately, a good part of the research in the field of metallic components has been directed at Al-Li alloys. More recently, with the development of quaternary alloys Al-Li-X-X, the old problem of low toughness was overcome. The finality of this study is to cover the developments of the mentioned alloys, including the fundamentals of physical metallurgy of the complex system recently developed Al-Li-Cu-Mg. (author)
