ALUMINIUM 2012 Blog

GDA Gesamtverband der Aluminiumindustrie together with Reed Exhibitions are planning and organizing the conference accompanying ALUMINIUM 2012. Under the name “Aluminium – Material for the Future” presentations are planned on the subjects of processes, transport, automotive, surface and aluminium markets.

Specialists from companies, research institutes and universities are warmly invited to submit presentations on these subjects. The submitted contributions will be examined by a programme committee, which may also permit other subject areas. The contributions will be compiled into a publication and made available.

The submission deadline for the abstracts is 23 March 2012.

More information and details on the call for papers can be found at the conference website:

The conference will begin each day at 9:30 a.m. and end at 4:30 p.m. Each session with its six presentations is a half day in length and will be organized in terms of its subjects so that conference visitors will have an opportunity to spend the second half of the day viewing the exhibition. The sessions can be booked individually.

Four years ago already COMPOSITES EUROPE, the international trade fair for composite materials, celebrated its premiere parallel to ALUMINIUM. This year, the two fairs will complement each other even better: together, ALUMINIUM and COMPOSITES EUROPE with far more than 1,100 exhibitors form the largest platform for lightweight construction materials in Europe.

At COMPOSITES EUROPE around 300 exhibitors from 25 countries show the entire value chain of the composites industry – from primary products to semi-finished, finished and intermediate products to technologies and services. With a large number of special forums such as workshops, live demonstrations and the accompanying AVK Conference, COMPOSITES EUROPE has succeeded after only four events to become Germany’s largest B2B platform for composite materials.

The technological demands made on extruded aluminium sections by automobile manufacturers, so as to be able to ensure the required characteristics of their vehicles constantly increase and can only be fulfilled by specialists in the aluminium extruding factories.  They need to take into account the demands of their customers by developing suitable alloys, products and processes.  For example, Audi demands aluminium sections that under uniform load can be statically compressed to one third of their original length. These basic demands imply that extruded aluminium sections are becoming considerably more complex and thinner and must have higher strengths with increasing ductility and high dimensional stability.

Aluminium is strong, corrosion-resistant and lightweight. It is suitable for precision-working, is conductive and has its own aesthetic appeal. The outstanding properties of aluminium make it ideal for innovative developments and visionary product design – and help to protect the environment.

At the ALUMINIUM 2010 you will experience the full range of application possibilities for aluminium – the material of the future with unique properties which show how innovation and environment-friendliness can go hand-in-hand.

Lightness
The lightness of aluminium, its ability to combine low weight with high strength, stability and corrosion-resistance, makes it a superior material for lightweight construction.  Weight reduction lowers fuel consumption and also CO2 emissions in the car-making industry. Aluminium-based lightweight construction helps turn visions into reality in many areas.

The ALUMINIUM 2010 will be showcasing future state-of-the-art technology, demonstrating how innovation and environment-friendliness can go hand-in-hand, across all industries.

For many years, the ALUMINIUM congress has complemented the fair. For the first time, the German Aluminium Industry Association (GDA) will plan and organize the 2010 congress.

Together with its subsidiary organizations, as the industry representative, the GDA will utilize all its expertise for the congress. From the industry for the industry – the congress will primarily deal with the needs of the aluminium processing industry.

Five different sessions with six 15 to 20 minute presentations on the application related topics of “Processes”, “Automotive”, “Transport”, “Surface” and “Aluminium Market”. All sessions can be individually reserved. The conference will be held in English.

Each day of the congress begins at 9.30 am and continues until 4.30 pm. The individual sessions with their six presentations will last for half a day and will be combined by the themes so that the visitors to the congress will have the opportunity to spend the second half of the day at the fair.
