Indian aluminium sector is growing fast and is rising up to a whole new world of opportunities. With both demand and consumption of the metal in positive territory, and bullish price trends, the time is perfect for producers to move beyond their traditional strengths in electrical, transport and building segments and shift gears to the emerging applications offered by the defence and aerospace domains. Aluminium alloy requirements in the Indian defence sector are substantial.(Make in India focus: DMRL developing aluminium alloy technologies for critical defence applications) Many applications have traditionally used aluminium alloys with improved mechanical properties. There is however, a serious need for regular supply of high purity aluminium with state of the art processing facilities and advanced centers for characterization, testing and certification.

Jawaharlal Nehru Aluminium Research Design & Development Centre, Nagpur in association with Corporate Monitor, Kolkata is organizing a Seminar on “Development of Aluminium Alloys & downstream products for Defence, Aerospace & other strategic applications” at JNARDDC, Nagpur on February 23-24, 2018.
The 2-day Seminar is aimed to provide a common platform to the primary and secondary producers of Aluminium and its alloys, the casters & the extruders, the plant level technologists, researchers, technology & equipment providers, the Defence and Aerospace equipment research and manufacturers as well as the organisations involved with strategic applications of Aluminium – to deliberate on the above issues and evolve an action plan for indigenous development of high strength aluminium alloys, castings and semi-fab products for defence, aerospace and other strategic and futuristic applications like electric vehicles.
A large number of companies and organisations with experience and knowledge on the use of aluminium downstream and castings products for various end-user applications will participating in the seminar to brainstorm new ideas and discuss about the possibility of putting various research projects into application.
