Description
Aluminum occupies an important position in the family of metals with a very wide range of industrial and consumer applications. Second only to iron, aluminum is the worlds most widely used metal. Because of aluminum’s many desirable properties, such as light weight, high strength, and corrosion resistance, modern designers utilize it extensively where energy conservation and product performance are paramount.
Target Audience
- Personnel involved with any facet of aluminum and its alloys
- Metallurgists
- Technicians
- QA/QC Managers
- Engineering Managers
- Purchasing Professionals
