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.

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.

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.
