Aluminum training: TALAT lectures
Training in Aluminium Application Technologies
TALAT:
- Training in Aluminium Application Technologies (something like "Tutorial on Aluminum Processing Technologies and Applications")
- almost exhaustive collection of teaching materials for engineers, researchers and managers on methods and technologies for aluminum processing as a solid, and liquid states, as well as its use in a variety of industries and in the manufacture of consumer goods.
These technical materials have been developed in 1990-2010 years by specialists from leading European universities and research centers (for more details, see the lectures).
