Aluminium Cast House Technology Conferences
Aluminium Cast House Technology XII (2011)
Selected Peer Reviewed Papers from the 12th International Conference and Exhibition on Aluminum Cast House Technology (Materials Science Forum).
The Aluminum Cast House Industry recognises the importance of technology management in reducing operating costs and making high-quality products safely; with minimal environmental impact.
The 12th Aluminium Cast House Technology Conference and Exhibition provided a unique venue where researchers, producers and suppliers could present and discuss the latest ideas in the science and technology of casting aluminium-alloy semi-finished products. The proceedings, with 29 peer-reviewed papers, offer invaluable insights into the subject.
Aluminium Cast House Technology XI (2009)
The Aluminium Cast-house Technology Conference in Australia is truly an international event where leaders in the aluminium industries of the five developed continents meet every two years. These proceedings contain the technical papers presented at the conference and serve as an important reference work for anyone involved with aluminium. The 31 peer-reviewed papers are grouped into:
- industry directions
- safety & environment
- dross generation & handling
- furnaces & refractories
- melt quality & treatment
- cast-house productivity
- direct chill & continuous casting, and
- ingot casting.
Aluminium Cast House Technology IX (2005)
Of particular interest to cast house engineers, managers, suppliers and researchers. these proceedings present industry developments in cost reduction, improved product quality, and new products through research and development.
Major topics covered include:
- industry trends and profiles
- safety and environment
- reduction and cast house interface
- DC casting
- ingot casting and foundry alloys
- furnace technology
- degassing
- filtration and inclusions.
Aluminium Cast House Technology VIII (2003)
From the 8th Australasian Conference on Aluminium Casthouse Technology in Brisbane, Australia, September 14-17, 2003.
This International Conference follows seven previous very successful conferences in the series, which are held every two years in Australia. The continued provision of sponsorship from the aluminium industry and related companies continues to help attract well renowned speakers from Australia and round the world, in all aspects of aluminium casthouse technology.
