Alumina & Bauxite
This symposium, along with the Cast Shop Technology, Aluminum Reduction Technology and Electrode Technology symposia collectively form the Light Metals Symposium
and covers the following subjects: bauxite mining and operation; chemical/physical characterization and analytical methods: mining and operating strategies; sustainability and environmental issues; and bauxite ore characterization and handling. [Learn more]
Aluminum Alloys: Fabrication, Characterization and Applications
This symposium will cover all aspects of the physical and mechanical metallurgy of aluminum alloys. It will address fundamental and applied research as well as product development, testing and implementation of aluminum foil, sheet, plate, extrusions, forgings, and composites for end
applications including transportation (automotive, aerospace and marine), packaging and other key product segments. [Learn more]
Aluminum Reduction Technology
Housed under the Light Metals Symposium, papers are invited on the following subject areas: Aluminum Reduction Technology; cell start-up and early operation; cell modernization and productivity increase; process control; modeling of cell design; environmental aspects; fundamentals; bath chemistry; power modulation; power supply improvements; inert anode operation; emerging reduction processes; safety issues in reduction lines; aluminum trend and market demand; energy saving initiatives in reduction process; changes/initiatives in reduction operation to cope with the financial crisis.

Aluminum Rolling
Part of the Light Metals Symposium, this seminar covers all processes related issues to produce aluminum plates, strip or foil by rolling, and especially the basis rolling processes. This session will cover innovative research work on rolled products as well as industrial practices and advances in rolling processing technology. [Learn more]
Cast Shop for Aluminum Production
This symposium will cover the following areas: charge materials, pre-furnace treatment, melting, fluxing, filtration, cast processes, automation, process modeling and control, environmental issues, grain refinement, cast structure, and safety. Papers on carry-over impact and prevention, metal loss, metal purity capture, sodium and other impurities, and equipment and logistics enhancement, will also be featured. [Learn more]
Electrode Technology for Aluminium Production
Formerly the Carbon Technology Symposium, this seminar is a component of the Light Metals Symposium and will focus on carbon anode raw materials and properties; paste plant design and operation; baking furnace design and operation; rodding room design and operation; anode quality and performance; solutions for carbon plant environmental issues and safety; cathode and cathode materials; cell preheating and startup (as related to pot life); spent potlining; inert electrode fabrication and materials science.
