Light Metal Age

Aims & Scope

Light Metal Age has a long legacy in the aluminum industry with over 80 years of experience covering primary and secondary production, extrusion, and rolling. We provide vital technical, industrial, and market information to aluminum producers and processors around the world. Available in both print and digital format, Light Metal Age is a bi-monthly publication that covers the entire value chain of the aluminum industry, from primary production to extrusion and rolling and associated downstream fabrication, such as finishing, machining and joining. The integration and optimization of aluminum products in final applications, such as automotive, aerospace, and building and construction, are also major topics. We deliver valuable technology and industry news, industry research, technical knowledge, and case studies to executives, general managers, plant managers, technicians, metallurgists, and engineers responsible for fabrication, production, and operations in manufacturing facilities around the world. Whether an extrusion facility in Ohio or a casthouse in Russia, Light Metal Age has its finger on the pulse of the aluminum industry.
