Lw 2007 - The 3^rd Aluminum Profile Technology Seminar and Exposition

August 6-8, 2007

Theme：Improvement of the capabilities of China’s aluminum extrusion industry and broadening of the applications of aluminum extrusions

The 2007 event was of particular significance, since 2007 marked the 55^th year anniversary of Northeast Light Metal Company Limited and also the beginning of the rise ofChina’s aluminum industry after the founding of the People’s Republic ofChinain 1949. High-ranking government officials and guests attended the opening ceremony and some delivered speeches to encourage the attendees of the event to contribute towards a stronger aluminum extrusion industry inChina.

The number of contributing papers reached a record high; a total of 213 papers were accepted for publication in the conference proceedings. The following are a list of selected paper titles:
