Aluminium Extruded Products Training Course

Next course date: TBC

Are you a stock holder, a fabricator or an end-user of aluminium extruded products?

This course is for you!

Following on from the success of our rolling course, we’re now offering an Aluminium Extruded Products training course as an ‘open’ course. This means anyone can attend.

How this course can help

By understanding basic extrusion metallurgy and how extrusions are made, you’ll be able to diagnose and solve problem more quickly.

The course outline is as follows:

Extrusion Basics and Terminology
Extrusion Metallurgy
Alloys, Processing and Heat Treatment
Tooling and Die Design
Profile Tolerances
Length Planning and Recoveries
Anodising
Corrosion Performance and Control
Common Extrusion Defects

Technical specialists with expertise in aluminium extrusions will write and deliver this course. What’s more, these consultants have worked in the industry for many years.

Who is it for?

It is principally aimed at end users of 6000-series aluminium extruded products. However, we teach metallurgical principals that are relevant to other ‘soft’ alloys and also to ‘hard’ alloy extrusion (2000-series and 7000-series).

This training course would also benefit new hires or non-technical staff from extrusion companies

How long is the course and when is the next one?

The course will be 1.5 days long and it will take place at our offices in Banbury, UK.

Please see above for the dates of the next course.

How much does the Aluminium Extruded Products Training Course cost?

The cost is £450 per person which includes a full set of course materials. Please note that the cost does not include travel expenses.

We would like to keep the group small (maximum 12 people) to allow plenty of time for questions and interaction with the tutors. However, this may mean that the course fills up quickly.

Do lots of people from your company want to attend?

If this is the case, it may be more economical for us to come to you and deliver a bespoke training course. If this is the case, please have a look at this page.
