Advanced course on Aluminium - Lightweighting Professional Courses online

Learning Objectives

After an introductory review of key properties of Aluminium and its alloys, and a summary of relevant application fields, this module will be able to:

• identify the main processing routes (primary production, recycling, rolling, extrusion, casting) and apply the guidelines for alloys and processes selection.
• realise the importance of welding and joining processes in several industrial application fields will be presented, as well as recall the challenging solutions offered by conventional and innovative surface finishing techniques.
• understand the basic concepts to be adopted in quality control and evaluation will be described.
• review the main techniques for process and properties modelling, and properly approach design methods and solutions suitable for Aluminium alloys.
• analyse case studies on the development of Aluminium alloys components for lightweight, taking into account both rolled and/or extruded and cast components. All case studies will present the eco-sustainability potential associated with Aluminium alloys, taking advantage of life cycle analysis.
