ALFED, the Aluminium Federation, collaborates with businesses and stakeholders to foster innovation, promote best practices and champion the industry’s interests. As the voice of the UK industry, its mission is to expand the market for aluminium products by helping members solve problems, lobby government and boost their competitiveness.

AL Circle: Can you describe the importance of heat treatment in the aluminium industry and its role in enhancing the properties of aluminium products?

ALFED: Aluminium is one of the two most common materials that undergo heat treatment, where it's used to alter the physical and chemical properties of the material. The versatile process can be used to improve the hardness, change the colour and alter the ductility of a material.
