For nearly 50 years, aluminum extrusion technology breakthroughs have been delivered through the International Aluminum Extrusion Technology (ET) Seminar series, the premier educational event for the aluminum extrusion industry. This tradition continues with the Eleventh International Aluminum Extrusion Technology Seminar (ET ’16) to be held in Chicago, IL, on May 2-6, 2016.
In 2016, the Aluminum Extruders Council (AEC) is introducing a new feature by making the proceedings from past ET Seminars available for sale on the AEC website store, including — for the first time — individual papers in PDF format outside of the proceedings.
“Over the years we have received inquiries on the availability of individual papers for purchase,” said Rand Baldwin, AEC president. “We are pleased to be able to provide these important technical reference documents for the aluminum extrusion industry. This will make it more convenient for anyone in the aluminum extrusion industry to obtain this unique and essential industry research at an affordable price.”
The ET Seminars are well known in the aluminum extrusion industry as the definitive source for extrusion technology research on a wide range of industry-related issues. As essential reference works, the ET Seminar Proceedings capture an historic compilation of innovations in aluminum extrusion technology. Technical advances, scientific research, process breakthroughs, and innovative applications are included in this technical reference collection.
Individual papers from the most recent ET Seminar, ET ’12, are available now in PDF format with later proceedings being made available very soon. The complete proceedings from each of the past three ET Seminars, ET ’12, ET ’08, and ET ’04, are available in either a CD or on flash drive (for ET ’12 only), as well as in two-volume printed sets. The proceedings from earlier ET Seminars may be available at a later date.
