The Aluminium Association will hold the 3rd annual scientific and practical conference Aluminium Welding Competence Development on October 17, 2019. Goal of the conference: deep aluminium processing development and wider use of high-tech aluminium products for the aviation, shipbuilding, automotive industry, transport engineering, and construction.

The conference will be held as part of the International Exhibition of Welding Materials, Equipment and Technologies in Russia Weldex-2019 (October 15-18, 2019, Moscow, Sokolniki Exhibition Centre).

The organiser of the conference is the Association of Aluminium Producers, Suppliers and Consumers (Aluminium Association) and MMAGS, partner of the conference (Moscow Cross-Industry Alliance of Chief Welders and Chief Specialists in Cutting and Metal Processing). The conference will be supported by RUSAL.

Main report topics:

• Advanced methods for welding aluminium alloy products in various production industries.
• Weldable aluminium alloys and promising technologies for producing structures from them.
• Pilot technology for producing welded large-size lightweight panels from wrought aluminium alloys by using the friction and mixing method of welding.
• Systems for calculating the quality of welds obtained by various methods.
• New welding technologies.
• Standardisation of welding production: criteria, priorities and product quality management.
• International practices in qualifying and certifying industrial welding staff.
• Other relevant topics.

Speakers of the conference will be managers and leading employees of the Kurchatov Institute - Prometey Central Scientific Research Institute of Structural Materials, CJSC Sespel, ILM&T, Moscow Cross-Industry Alliance of Chief Welders (MMGAS), FGAU Welding and Inspection Scientific & Educational Centre at the Bauman Moscow State Technical University, the Institute of Strength Physics and Material Sciences of the Russian Academy of Science, Inspection and Diagnostics Scientific & Educational Centre, Melnikov Central Research and Design Institute of Steel Structures, and many others.

Participation terms: Applications are accepted until September 30, 2019. Mandatory registration of participants on the website of the Aluminium Association.

Workshop participants: production companies, research centres, and industry associations interested in the development of aluminium welding competence for use in high tech aluminium products for the needs of the aviation industry, ship building and automotive industries, transport engineering, the construction sector.
