The trend of the fabrication technology of high strength, high toughness aluminum alloys by the severe plastic deformation(SPD) process and the welding technology of lightweight alloys in the automobile has been studied. The lightweight aluminum alloys can reduce vehicle weight, while stringently demanding the high quality and efficient welding techniques, to produce the best weldments. Among the production technologies, welding plays an important role in the fabrication of lightweight vehicle structure. This paper covers the scientometric analysis of the severe plastic deformations of lightweight alloys and the welding technology in the automobile which are based on the published research works in the 'HPT, ECAP and rolling', and 'welding technology of the automobile' obtained from Web of Science, and deals with the details of the background data of the HPT, ECAP, and rolling of lightweight alloys, and welding technology of the automobile technology.

The trend of the plasma cutting and laser cutting technology of metal alloys including high strength steel, aluminum alloys for the welding structures has been studied. The high-precision plasma systems offer a denser, higher energy arc that in effect produces a sharper cutting tool and high quality cutting products. The high-quality fiber laser systems with compact design and easy set-up make it ideal for cutting in the pipeline or steel structre manufacturing. This paper covers the scientometric analysis of the high efficient cutting technology which are based on the published research works in the 'plasma and laser', and 'cutting technology' obtained from Web of Science, and deals with the details of the background data of the plasma cutting and laser cutting technology.
