THE aLLUMINIUM AND ITS ALLOYS.

The growing need for “lightweight” and high-performance materials is leading designers to increasingly use aluminum alloys as an alternative to traditional steels.

Contributing to the widespread use of aluminum alloys, however, are their excellent technological properties, such as hot and cold deformability, weldability and good suitability for use in various foundry processes.

The course aims to:
