Don't most Li alloys get fizzy in water?
I'm actually a proper metallurgist but haven't touched light alloys in 20 years. (I love that Pu and U are treated as "light alloys" by some of the professional orgs)
Li might be used as some kind of strengthening agent by grabbing O to make precipitates for either aluminum-style precipitate hardening or just to junk up the grain boundaries to stop/slow high temp issues from grain growth and creep.
Or it's already explained in wikipedia? I've already been taunted that with matweb and wiki I'm obsolete in today's workforce. I don't care - I'm awesome with powerpoint so there's always management to look forward to...
