Aluminium and heat treatment - Our latest heat processing issue

"Aluminium is a sustainable material essential to Europe’s green transition. It is used in solar panels, wind turbines, electric vehicles, transmission cables for renewable electricity, etc. The endless recyclability of aluminium further contributes to decarbonisation and the circular economy. However, we need the support of European policymakers to establish the policy foundations and ‘free and fair-trade’ framework necessary for our industry to recover and grow so that we can realise our full potential as a key enabler of Europe’s green transition. [...] Now is the time to turn sustainability commitments into long-term actions," says Dr. Gerd Götz, Director General at European Aluminium, in his editorial.

In this issue, you will find a short preview on the ALUMINIUM Business Summit, which will take place in Düsseldorf, Germany, on 28 and 29 September. We're looking forward to the discussions there on topics such as mobility, digitalisation, sustainability or market development.

Moreover, this issue contains several interesting reports in the field of induction technology and heat treatment, which is the key topic of heat processing. We wish you a good and inspiring read!
