Helsinki, Finnland -- Stora Enso and its partner Alucha Recycling Technologies have been granted the 'Best of the Best' LIFE Environment Project award for 2010. This award is granted by the European Union to recognise projects that have a positive impact on the environment. Stora Enso and Alucha...
Setting New Standards For Aluminium Enclosures
ROLEC has launched its new range of aluPLUS standard aluminium enclosures, incorporating many modern features previously unique to its aluCASE designer series. The new aluPLUS enclosures offer electronics designers a much higher degree of sophistication previously unavailable in this segment of the...
Automatic Collar Forming Systems Protect Stubs in Aluminium Smelters
High bath levels can result in ring erosion of anode stubs. The same effect also occurs when anode life is extended by lowering the rod further into the pot that would normally be the case. Smelters which buy their anodes from third parties have a good economic reason to extend anode life,...
Alba welcomes UOB students to the plant
Aluminium Bahrain B.S.C. (Alba) welcomed a group of students from the University of Bahrain (UOB) for an extensive tour of the plant on Wednesday, June 8, 2011. The students - who were majoring in physics - were given a demonstration of the state-of-the-art technologies used in the production...
Aero Aluminum Alloy To Compete With Composites, Due In Cars?
Low weight is the golden goose of automotive technology. Everyone wants it because it brings about improvements in virtually all areas - performance, economy, handling - but engineering a car with lower weight than the one that preceeded it is difficult to do. Customers want safer, quieter and...
MHM Metals gets salt slag deal
MHM Metals Ltd's (MHM) shares shot up after it signed a contract for at least 1,500 tonnes a month of aluminium oxide off-take for its aluminium salt slag processing business. The resources company, formerly known as Macquarie Harbour Mining, says its new deal with Impex Minerals Pty Ltd to take...
Postal van that runs on power
Campuses across the country could run electric postal vans if the department of science and technology (DST) makes IISc's innovative electric postal van a model. Researchers at IISc's Centre for Product Design and Manufacturing are excited by the idea of approaching DST while already having...
Aluminum becoming more popular in solar applications
Azom reported that the all aluminum MPE absorber project which was a joint entry by Hydro and Savo Solar won as best innovation in the category for solar thermal technology. The award was presented on the opening day of Intersolar Europe 2011, the world's largest trade fair for solar technologies....
Alcoa unveils 3rd generation aluminium lithium alloys and technologies
Alcoa has announced new aluminium-lithium alloy and structural technologies enabling airframers to "build dramatically lighter and lower-cost" short-haul aircraft "at significantly lower production risk than composite-intensive planes". "The decisions made in the past decade to build the first...
Alcoa trumpets tech advances for aircraft makers
Aluminum producer Alcoa Inc has developed a new generation of alloys and technologies it says can lower the weight of airliners by up to 10 percent and improve fuel efficiency even more. "The alloys are mostly new and revolutionary for the industry," said Eric Roegner, president of Alcoa's Forgings...
Aluminum in Railway and Urban Railway System
In recent years, with the rapid development of our economy, railway transportation has been entering into growth period. Meanwhile, nergy shortage and environmental deterioration also put forward higher requirements on the development of railway transportation. Owing to light quality, excellent...
Jaguar developing new crossover with an aluminum body and chassis
There are plans from Jaguar to push in 40 new cars in the near future which can be either variants of existing models or different technological get up. Its biggest rival is the BMW 3 Series and as of now Jaguar is hell bent on taking on this challenge with a model that would be different from the...
Aluminum used in electronics recycled in large quantities
Aluminum continues to be a popular metal in the electronics world. Aluminum computer casings, for example are able to be infinitely recycled without losing any functional properties. This allows engineers to create new shapes, colors and styles to satisfy consumers’ constantly changing needs while...
PIONEERING PROJECT DEAL

Enerpac Demonstrates High-Pressure Hydraulic Technologies at RTA’s Ergo Expo
Enerpac (A Division of Actuant Corp) showcased their high-pressure hydraulic technologies at the Manual Handling Ergonomics Expo hosted by Rio Tinto Alcan (RTA) at Queensland Alumina Limited (QAL) Gladstone. The Ergo Expo featured some of the world’s most compactly powerful non-impact bolting...
Stub Straighteners Provide Cost Benefits for Aluminium Smelters
Inward bending of anode stubs, generally known as "toe-in", is a well understood occurrence in all pre-bake aluminium smelters. The difference in linear expansion of the carbon anode and the steel yoke or spider of the anode rod at high temperatures in the reduction cell means that the yoke expands...
