In mid-June, the Ranshofener Leichtmetalltage light alloys conference tookplace for the 10th time in Linz. Invited by the LKR Leichtmetallkompetenzzentrum Ranshofen, more than 120 materials scientists and experts from the inter national light metal sector met for a two-day-long industry gathering and exchange of knowledge.
As a subsidiary of AIT Austrian Institute of Technology, the LKR Leichtmetallkompetenzzentrum Ranshofen GmbH forms the Business Unit „Light Metals Technologies Ranshofen“ in AIT’s Center for Low-Emission Transport. The research focus is on the holistic view of lightweight design – from materials to process technology through to material-related structural design. The LKR can draw on more than 20 years of expertise in research and innovation for the lightweight design of the future and is now researching pioneering high-performance metals and process technologies.
