The Extrusion Technology for Aluminum Profiles Foundation (ET Foundation) and the Aluminum Extruders Council (AEC) have extended the deadline for the Call for Abstracts for papers to be considered for presentation at the Thirteenth International Aluminum Extrusion Technology Seminar—ET ’24. The extended deadline allows potential authors to submit their abstracts no later than March 28, 2023.

ET ’24 is scheduled for April 30 through May 2, 2024, at the Rosen Shingle Creek Resort in Orlando, Florida, USA. The international aluminum extrusion industry, manufacturers, end users of aluminum extrusions, as well as product engineers and designers are invited to submit technical paper abstracts through the ET ’24 Abstract Submissions Portal exclusively via the event website at www.ET24.us.

Authors are encouraged to submit paper abstracts of no more than 150 words to be considered for presentation, which will be arranged in the following seven tracks:

  • Alloys & Billet Process
  • Extrusion Equipment
  • Extrusion & Die Process Application
  • Sustainability & Management
  • Extrusion & Die R&D
  • Extrusion Finishes & Fabrication
  • Extrusion Design & Innovation

Presentations at ET ’24 are expected to address topics specifically related to aluminum extrusion, such as new processes or techniques, the use of new and updated equipment, best practices, sustainability and environmental issues, market developments, product applications, metallurgical and manufacturing research, emerging technology, and more.

Selected authors will be invited to submit technical papers based on abstracts reviewed by the ET Seminar Committee, which is comprised of aluminum extrusion industry professionals and academics involved in extrusion and related scientific research.

Papers of a technical, practical, operational, or theoretical nature are encouraged for ET '24. Renowned experts are prominent among ET authors, although not every author needs to have a lengthy set of credentials. Solid common-sense work reflecting real-world extrusion practice is welcome.

Accepted papers will be published in the Proceedings of ET ’24, distributed to all delegates. For more than 50 years, ET papers have delivered cutting-edge information and problem-solving resources for the industry; ET Proceedings have become one of the industry's most valuable resources and are frequently referenced in other technical publications. The ET Seminar is considered by many to be the best setting for presenting aluminum extrusion technical research.

ET ’24, the Thirteenth International Aluminum Extrusion Technology Seminar and Exposition, is the world's longest-running educational event solely devoted to all facets of the aluminum extrusion industry, including aluminum profile production, die design and technology, metallurgy, equipment, product applications, sustainability, and more. ET attracts upwards of 1,300 industry professionals from around the world, representing more than 50 countries. ET ’24 is produced by the Extrusion Technology for Aluminum Profiles Foundation (ET Foundation) in cooperation with the Aluminum Extruders Council (AEC).
