The International Conference on Extrusion and Benchmark (ICEB) is an event aimed at promoting the most recent advances in aluminum extrusion technologies with a specific session dedicated to the evaluation of the reliability of FEM codes for process analysis. At the 2009 conference, organized in Dortmund in September 2009, there was great interest in the […]
As screw fasteners are so often used in aluminum structures, the structural integrity of joints made with these fasteners are highly dependent on proper design guidelines. The Hydro Extrusion Design Manual 2009 and The Aluminum Association’s Aluminum Design Manual 2005 present general design guidelines for mechanical connections. The Hydro Manual includes joining guidelines for longitudinal […]
Dr. V.I. Johannes and C.W. Jowett’s paper, “Temperature Distribution in Aluminum Extrusion Billets” (referenced in “Homogenization of Aluminum Alloy Extrusion Billet, Part III” in the April 2009 issue of LMA), has been updated by Johannes with corrections to the equations that originally appeared in the paper in the Proceedings of the Sixth International Extrusion Technology […]
