Structural metal alloys: towards environmentally friendly materials

In today's world, environmental issues are becoming more and more pressing. The manufacture of structural materials such as metals, concrete, ceramics, and composites has a considerable impact on the environment. Therefore, the development and improvement of methods that minimize the adverse environmental impact and design of more sustainable production processes are fairly relevant. Currently, the concept of nature-inspired materials has been elaborated. A number of such materials have been already developed and some are being developed now. This review addresses, for the first time, the current state of research in the development of nature-inspired and safe materials based on titanium alloys and steels. The bibliography includes 144 references.
