The TMS Annual Meeting Exhibition
is a unique opportunity to market comprehensively to more than 4,500 international
management and research professionals from the metals and materials community;
and offers an unparalleled number of qualified attendees, educational sessions,
and return on investment.
The event will feature technical symposia presenting the latest scientific and
technical developments. Additionally, the meeting’s award presentations, tutorial
lectures, short courses, receptions, luncheons and plant tours combine to make
a well-rounded meeting experience.
In today’s global economy, it is crucial to reach an international audience
as quickly and efficiently as possible. The TMS
Exhibition is an ideal venue to make world contacts and develop strong international
business relationships in materials science and metallurgy. Attendees are drawn
from North America, South America, Central America, Europe, the Middle East,
Asia, and the Pacific Rim.

Adding strength to the technical program for 2001, The Aluminum Association will join forces with TMS for the first time by programming the following three symposia. This programming will add an important facet to the Light Metals Program, particularly downstream aluminum processing and applications. Symposia scheduled by The Aluminum Association and the Light Metals Division of TMS include:
Aluminum in Building and Structural Design Applications
The third largest end use of aluminum in the U.S. is in construction and infrastructure
applications. In addition, many applications of aluminum in transportation and
other growing markets require the material to be designed for load bearing applications.
Much of this design is performed in accordance with a newly revised Aluminum
Association standard, the Aluminum Design Manual. Papers in this session outline
the use of aluminum as a structural material, including its properties, design
advantages, and applications. Submit abstracts electronically through the Conference
Management System (CMS) or to: Randy Kissell, TGB Partnership 1325 Farmview
Road, Hillsborough, NC 27278 USA T: (919) 644-8250; F: (919) 644-8252 E-mail:

Aluminum Joining— Emphasizing Laser and Friction Stir Welding
Aluminum alloys are finding expanding application in automotive structures and
hang-on components and with these come new challenges for effective and efficient
joining. Those challenges are being met with both new welding processes, like
friction-stir welding, and with enhancements to existing processes, such as
multiple-head spot welding and automated systems. In this session, we will focus
on a number of these new and enhanced joining technologies, using real case
studies to illustrate the degree of progress that has already been made as well
as some of the potential for the future. Submit abstracts electronically through
the Conference Management System (CMS) or to:
Gilbert Kaufman 3662 Pevensey Drive, Columbus, OH 43220-4821 USA T: (614)
459-3949; F: (919) 644-8252 E-mail: tgb@mindspring.com
Bauxite Residue Treatment: New Developments
The treatment and use of bauxite residue (sometimes known as red mud) was the
focus of an industry workshop sponsored by The Aluminum Association in late
1999. Industry representa-tives were joined by outside experts to explore approaches
and establish priorities for collaborative research efforts. These deliberations
have been recorded in a “Technology Roadmap for Bauxite Residue Treatment and
Utilization” published by the Association. Highest priority was proposed for
work on metal recovery from the residue, the removal of desilication product
before it becomes waste, and the area of bauxite beneficiation. The purpose
of this session is to explore ongoing R&D in the context of this roadmap.
