ALUMINIUM 2014 Blog

The natural protective action of aluminium, which can be enhanced by alloys and special surface treatment, makes it resistant to environmental influences and aggressive media. Its benefits are exploited in shipbuilding and rolling stock construction and by the manufacturers of transportation equipment and containers. The corrosion resistance helps to retain the value and properties of goods. The durability and lightness of the material, combined with the wide range of decorative design possibilities, make aluminium a favoured material in façade construction.

“Environmental concerns are not anymore the playground for politicians and action groups and have, rightly, entered the mainstream of our economy. The characteristics of aluminium make it potentially one of the major contributors to a cleaner and more energy efficient future for the next generations. Aleris, as a global leader in aluminium products and applications, contributes to this future with the development of innovative solutions in its extensive R&D facility and the various production facilities around the world. We strongly believe that the EUROPEAN ALUMINIUM AWARD competition is another leading incentive to support innovations, and are proud to be associated with this initiative as a main sponsor.”

Aluminium offers flexibility and malleability.  It can also be refined to create an attractive surface finish, giving designers the freedom to create elegant and complex forms.  In the field of packaging there are numerous possibilities for branding in the form of utensil shaping. The manufacturers of furniture, leisure and sports products can turn their goods into eye-catching products through the use of aluminium.

Aluminium is an excellent conductor of electricity and heat. The good conductivity of aluminium combined with its low weight and high degree of corrosion resistance make it the material of choice for overhead conductors and contact rails. In electronics, too, there are many uses for aluminium. As an exceptionally good thermal conductor, aluminium is indispensable in many applications from large-scale plants down to micro-applications, in many areas including refrigeration and solar technology.

In 2010, the ALUMINIUM 2010 Conference is being organised for the first time by GDA – Gesamtverband der Aluminiumindustrie in conjunction with Reed Exhibitions. The conference is titled ‘Aluminium – Material for the Future” and around 50 proposals for presentations have been submitted covering the following topics: “Automotive”, “Building”, “Market”, “Transport” and “Surface”.

All sessions can be booked individually and can be easily combined with a visit of the trade fair.

The high degree of precision which can be achieved when shaping it, and the possibility to influence its metallurgical properties make aluminium – be it rolled, pressed, cast or forged – the number one choice in many industrial applications. Precision combined with stability and lightness also make for reliability and cost-efficiency – and make aluminium a popular choice in engineering and other fields.

A stable material is one which retains its resistance, durability and strength even when exposed to different static and dynamic loads. With its high degree of corrosion resistance, its great malleability and its wide range of surface possibilities, aluminium is an ideal material for putting rational and visionary ideas into practice, showing how innovation and environment-friendliness can go hand-in-hand, in the construction (and other) industries. Architects, clients and developers are all enthusiastic users of this material.
