AMSTERDAM, Nov. 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Constellium N.V.
(NYSE and Euronext: CSTM) will exhibit its latest portfolio of
advanced innovative aluminium solutions for the aerospace,
automotive and packaging industries at ALUMINIUM 2016 World Trade
Fair and Conference. Constellium will also offer a new virtual
reality experience allowing visitors to explore its aluminium
automotive products through VR-glasses. Visitors will enter a
virtual vehicle and experience 3D first-hand Constellium's broad
range of products for the automotive industry.
"ALUMINIUM 2016 is a great opportunity for Constellium to
showcase the impressive results of our strategic focus on growth,
innovation and sustainability. This translates into additional
industrial capabilities, an expanded footprint and new products to
benefit our customers," said Peter
Basten, Executive Vice-President, Strategy, Business
Development, Research & Technology at Constellium.
Constellium's display will feature several of its latest
technologies and products that enable customers to respond to the
challenges of climate change by minimizing CO2 emissions
through weight reduction to contribute to a sustainable future:
- Surfalex® HF is a new skin material for complex
automotive parts such as side panels which provides superior
formability in terms of deep drawing, hole expansion and stretch
forming during the stamping process, while keeping excellent
surface aspect;
- HSA6 is a new generation of high-strength alloys for
Crash Management Systems and fabricated extruded parts for
automotive structures and chassis components. HSA6 is the highest
strength 6xxx series alloy available on the market for these
applications;
- Aeral™ is an aluminium solution that enables the
production of aerosol cans with "Draw and Iron" technology
(D&I). Aeral™ allows up to 30% weight saving compared to
conventional impact extrusion presses, while maintaining the same
level of performance in terms of formability and pressure
resistance;
- Airware® is a comprehensive offer of
high-performance aluminium-lithium alloys, perfectly suited for all
parts of aircraft and spacecraft primary structures. Airware®'s
lower density and improved material properties allow an
optimization of structural designs, which leads to an overall
weight reduction and a drop in CO2 emissions;
- Precision plates for industrial applications offer cost
savings and reduction of machining cycle times; and
- Kool X™ is a new solution for demanding heat exchanger
applications, providing an advanced combination of claddability,
improved fatigue and corrosion resistance.
As part of the ALUMINIUM 2016 Conference, Constellium offers
three presentations focused on new technologies and its commitment
to sustainability:
- "Constellium's 360° automotive offer" provides preview of the
automotive virtual reality experience featured on the booth with
specific insight into our most recent automotive developments,
particularly on automotive body sheet and automotive
structures.
Presented by Catherine Athènes,
Director, Marketing, Packaging and Automotive Rolled Products,
November 29 at 11:00.
- "Accelerating the development of lightweight aluminium
solutions for automotive structures and Crash Management Systems"
takes a closer look at HSA6, Constellium's latest high-strength
alloy. It will also highlight capabilities of the new Constellium
University Technology Center at Brunel University London, a
dedicated center of excellence for the design, development and
full-scale rapid prototyping of aluminium alloys, extrusions and
automotive structural components.
Presented by Martin Jarrett, Director, Operational Excellence
and Technology, November 30 at
9:00.
- "Aluminium recycling from material flow analysis to optimal
recycling" explains how Life Cycle Assessment and Mass Flow
Analysis tools contribute to our understanding of the importance of
end of life recycling and its optimization through better sorting
and eco-design.
Presented by Olivier Neel, Manager, Sustainability,
November 30 at 16:20.
