Aluminium is considered the “metal of the future” in terms of technological flexibility, circular economy and eco-sustainability, all aspects that will be the focus of the Green Aluminium Conference, a two-stage event that will start in Brescia on 4th May and will end up in Bologna during Metef with its second stop on 9th June, to illustrate with very high-level testimonials the main qualities and uses of eco-sustainable aluminium of primary and secondary production.
A contest organized by Metef, consolidated for over a decade to enhance innovations in plants, technologies, products, applications and more in aluminium and its alloys offered by the exhibiting companies.
The competing innovations will be assessed according to the degree of originality and novelty, the performance characteristics, and the competitive advantages that they are able to offer, also favoring the aspects of energy saving, eco sustainability and safeguarding resources.
A special prize will also be awarded to the decarbonization projects of the overall company system.
The Aluminium Extrusion Forum is a regular appointment at Metef for extruders dedicated to the development of technology and the use of aluminium extrusions in various fields, from construction to mechanics, transport and more.
A unique case in the landscape of institutional relations and strategic communication in which companies in the sector as well as Centroal have been involved in for more than two decades and which has contributed profoundly and incisively to the improvement of the general and institutional perception of aluminium and its applications, making Italy a model in Europe for the development of this kind of activity.
The automotive sector is of primary importance for light metal, the theme will be at the center of the Aluminium and Cars Conference, with the latest news regarding materials, technologies, and applications against a backdrop of issues relating to lightness, availability of raw materials and regulatory provisions.
The Light Alloys Castings Foundry Conference, held on 11 June 2022, will focus on the current situation of the aluminium castings foundry with analytical contributions by leading Italian experts from the industrial sector, universities, and institutions.
The conference will end with the awarding ceremony of the first ever “Italian Foundry Casting Award” which is a joint initiative organized by the Italian Metallurgical Association (AIM), the Italian Association of Foundry Suppliers (Amafond) and the Italian Foundries’ Association (Assofond), to draw international attention to the development of technology and industrial applications of die castings made in Italy. Awards will be assigned to the best die castings in aluminium, zinc, magnesium, or copper alloys made in Italy and characterized by their innovative aspects from a point of view of performance and/or design, and/or dimensions, and/or production techniques, and/or the overall sustainability content of the casting.
AIM, Amafond and, Assofond jointly announce the Italian Die casting Award – Premio Pressocolata Italia established to highight the technological and industrial advancements of the Italian Die Casting sector.
The award is intended for aluminum, zinc, magnesium or copper diecasting parts with innovative features related to their performance and/or design and/or dimensions and produced by Italian foundries or in Italian sites of international companies.
The award is supported by Metef, Mecspe, Fonderia e Pressofusione, A&L, HPDC School, FACE, In Fonderia and La Metallurgia Italiana.
The deadline for submitting proposals is: 2 May 2022.
