Technical Group Webinar
JOIN OUR MATERIALS TECHNICAL GROUP (TG3) WEBINAR
Aluminium and its alloys are widely utilised in a range of industrial applications.
This Technical Group webinar will provide an overview of alloy developments covering their metallurgy, properties and applications and will provide a strategic insight into the significance of these materials.
Aspects of welding aluminium alloys will also be explored in depth covering arc welding and alternative methods in particular friction stir welding. Potential issues that can arise will be identified and opportunities highlighted and case studies will also be included.
This webinar will be of interest to:
- Engineers, Technicians, Project managers, Consultants, Metallurgists, Materials Scientists, Researchers and Students
Speaker Panel and Presentations:
- Jan Lukaszewski, Technical Manager, ALFED on Understanding and selecting the correct Aluminium alloy
- Gene Mathers, Consultant on Weldability of Aluminium
