The Aluminum Channel™: The Idea and What You Will See
The Aluminum Channel is an Internet based channel that promotes aluminum usage by providing video information regarding aluminum products, processes, applications and solutions. It is the “go-to” video source for information on aluminum for machinists, engineers, designers, fabricators, and distributors. On The Aluminum Channel experts in the aluminum industry will discuss a variety of topics including aluminum processing, automotive applications, aerospace solutions, mass reduction, and machining.
Aluminum, a mainstay material used in aircraft construction, is now the 2nd most used material in automotive production. Because of its inherent high strength-to-weight ratio, aluminum provides both solutions and challenges to designers today. The Aluminum Channel is now there when questions arise regarding machining feeds and speeds, flatness, residual stress, formability, applications, and new alloys. Tom Gannon, Kaiser Aluminum’s Vice President of Marketing, says that car engineers, aerospace engineers and machinists can go to the Aluminum Channel and select from a list of topics to address their engineering or processing issues.
Gannon states that you will hear from experts regarding their experiences in addressing the needs of the customer or end user. Whether it is light weighting the structural frame of an automobile or light truck to help meet CAFÉ standards, improving the throughput and reducing rework and inspection time on aircraft parts processors, or coming up with an alloy that further reduces weight while improving strength in aircraft, the topics will be discussed with an episode posted on The Aluminum Channel for viewing when you need it. Whether you are an aircraft design engineer in Seattle or Toulouse France, or an automotive production or design engineer in Detroit, or a machine shop in Wichita, Kansas, you can expect to learn something from The Aluminum Channel. Tom Gannon is the Vice President of Marketing for Kaiser Aluminum. Tom Gannon spoke with the Aluminum Channel, the Internet based channel that promotes aluminum usage by providing online, on-demand aluminum products and processing information video content. The Aluminum Channel is a featured network of Sequence Media Group.
