The schedule of the International Aluminium Congress will integrate papers related to the themes listed below, highlighting technological innovations, projects, processing, efficiency gains, productivity and quality, cost reduction, maintenance and/or environment related aspects, sustainability and industry 4.0:
Papers related to bauxite mining, alumina refining and/or reduction of primary aluminum.
Subcategories:
Papers related to aluminum smelting in the form of plates and billets which, afterwards, will suffer mechanic transformation; ingots; continuous smelting of sheets and rebars; piece smelting; and/or anti-alloys, as refiners and modifiers of structures and flows, such as liquid metal cleaning salts and others.
Subcategories:
Papers related to shaping processes, such as lamination, extrusion, manufacturing of wires and cables, stamping, forging, extrusion through impact, severe plastic transformation; and/or to matching processes, such as cutting, drilling, milling, and others; in addition to the development of alloys with advantages in relation to these processes.
Subcategories:
Papers related to the diverse welding processes and techniques – such as MIG/TIG welding, spot welding through resistance, friction (FSW), laser, mechanical fixing (screws, rivets, settlement), adhesives, and others – involving aluminum alloys (aluminum with aluminum or aluminum with other materials).
Subcategories:
Papers related to the different aluminum corrosion processes, including the diverse metal surface treatment (anodizing, electrodeposition, paint and varnish application and others), whether they have decorative protection or mechanical objectives.
Subcategories:
Papers related to the efficient use of resources: diversification of the energy matrix through renewable sources; initiatives to reduce or compensate the emission levels of greenhouse gases (GHG), captures or storage; improvement of waste management, collection system, aluminum separation and recycling; technologies applied to metal remelting, in addition to studies about the secondary metal market.
Subcategories:
Papers related to sustainable development, generating value and positive impact in the communities where aluminum sector companies are inserted. Embracing questions associated to territorial, economical, social and environmental development; inclusion and diversity questions; and training and attractiveness of human resources.
Subcategories:
Papers related to the development of new products or novel aluminum applications not yet established in the national market, in the form of semi-manufactured goods (such as extruded, laminated, cast, smelted and others) or finished goods.
Subcategories:
Papers related to quality and health, security and environment, which allow optimization and incorporation of operational procedures and practices resulting in improvements, such as reducing operational risks to workers and the environment, increasing productivity and others.
Subcategories:
Papers related to the production, application and performance of refractories applied to distinct stages of aluminum production process and its alloys, such as reduction, remelting, transporting liquid metal and others.
Subcategories:
Papers about the aluminum chain related to artificial intelligence, cloud computing, big data, cyber security, internet of things (IoT), advanced robotics, digital manufacturing, additive manufacturing, system integration, simulation systems, digitalization and storage, database, networks and software.
