Welcome to the 15th International Aluminium Conference | INALCO 2023

About conference

This INALCO 2023 conference provides a unique opportunity to bring together acade- mics, research and development professionals, sales and marketing executives, plant and industrial engineers, quality-control managers, and other prominent aluminium industry leaders. This 3-day conference proposes various sessions where the results of recent research activities from all over the world in the field of aluminium constructions are presented. Approximately 90 papers and expert presentations from many countries are expected (from Algeria, Austria, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Croatia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Korea, Montenegro, Norway, the Netherlands, Poland, United Kingdom, Serbia, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United States, etc.). The conference program will consist of keynote lectures by invited speakers as well as of oral and poster presentations of papers submitted by attendees

The first international conference on welded products and constructions with aluminium alloyswas held in Cleveland (USA) in 1979. It became established as INALCO at the 2nd conference in Munich in Germany in 1982. Since then, conferences have been held every three years in different venues all over the world (except for the 15th edition due to the COVID disease). The latest editions were held in Osaka (Japan, 2007), Eindhoven (The Netherlands, 2010), Montréal (Canada, 2013), Naples (Italy, 2016) and Tokyo (Japan, 2019).

Conference abstract submission

The INALCO series aims at presenting relevant topics for various applications in ground transportation, civil structures for transportation, air transportation and maritime trans- portation, with an emphasis on green aluminium such as: alloys, welding and joining, surface treatment and corrosion, environmental impact and life cycle analysis, etc. The INALCO conference aims to present relevant topics for various applications in ground transportation, civil structures for transportation, air transportation and maritime transportation, with an emphasis on green aluminium. We invite researchers, professors, professionals and companies of the aluminium sector to submit conference propositions relating to practical and innovating applications of aluminium around the following topics :

• Design and metal forming : design of components or structures, extrusion, rolling, hydroforming, practical applications, etc.
• Alloys : alloy development, microstructural characterization, heat treatment, phase transformation, etc.
• Surface treatment and corrosion : corrosion treatment, anodizing, antimicrobial surfaces, industrial examples of surface treatment, etc.
• Welding and joining : fatigue, FSW, laser welding, MIG, additive manufacturing, practical and industrial applications, etc.
• Environmental impact : life cycle analysis, total cost of ownership, recycling, industrial applications, etc.

Expected abstracts

Typically, in addition to the title, an abstract presenting a brief background on the topic of the paper, the objective of the conference, and a short overview of what will be presented. If the abstract is accepted, you will have to write a technical article ranging from 2 to 5 pages on the proposed subject as well as presenting it at INALCO 2023.

Instructions
