With an estimated growth of more than six million vehicles a year, India is one of the top five largest automobile markets worldwide. In the field of aluminium die casting in particular, its more than 400 producers make India one of the most important suppliers of die cast components in the global market. This year, due to the pandemic, the Conference on Die Casting Technology will be held virtually.

Die aktuellen Veränderungen durch die Elektrifizierung im Antriebsstrang, deren Auswirkungen auf Downsizing-Konzepte, aber auch klassische Motoren- und Komponentengießereien mit neuen Herausforderungen sowie Potenziale für weitere gießtechnische Anwendungen werden thematisiert.
 

India continues to be one of the most dynamic aluminium markets. Demand is driven especially by infrastructure projects there. This development is also reflected by ALUMINIUM INDIA 2021.

India is among the fastest growing aluminium markets. The industry is expanding its capacities and investing in new technologies to satisfy the rising demands in the energy, transport, construction and packaging sectors.  

ALUMINIUM INDIA 2021 will mirror how this market is developing early next year. From 4 to 6 February the biggest industry event on this subcontinent will take place in Bhubaneswar, at the heart of the Indian aluminium industry. The trade fair will be accompanied by the renowned INCAL Conference organised by the Aluminium Association of India (AAI).

2,500 visitors and 120 exhibitors from India, China, North America and Europe are expected to visit the 7th edition of ALUMINIUM INDIA – ranging from international technology providers to regional producers and processors.  

Growth markets e-mobility, electric systems and smart cities
In India it is especially infrastructure projects that drive growth and open up market opportunities for the aluminium industry. One of the biggest projects here is the modernisation of the power grid but commercial construction and smart cities are also inducing demand.  

India also wants to take e-mobility to the next level: by 2030 30% of all new vehicles registered are to be e-vehicles, from 2030 only passenger cars with battery drive are planned to be registered. State funding for this has increased markedly. The two Japanese manufacturers Toyota and Suzuki have already announced the wish to jointly develop a model exclusively for India.  
 

DIE CASTING DAY: On March 9, 2021, the Association of German Die Casting Foundries (VDD) and the Federal Association of the German Foundry Industry (BDG) are holding the 21st Die Casting Day in Nuremberg. The conference offers die casting foundries, the supplier industry, universities and institutes as well as die casting users an attractive platform to present new technologies, process and material developments as well as new areas of application and to discuss them with experts.

"Aachen Foundry Colloquium 2020"
International Conference “The Virtual Foundry” in connection with the Aachen Foundry Colloquium on March 19-20, 2020

Over the last 40 years, the virtualization of casting processes has become a success factor for the foundry industry. Software today predicts numerous aspects of the process sequence for the production of cast parts in a virtual environment. Whether to identify optimization potential, to design entire process chains or to develop efficient product designs – simulation programs support foundries and their customers daily to make important decisions with a high degree of certainty.

However, the diversity and complexity of the physics, materials, metallurgy and foundry processes still present significant challenges 40 years after the first application of simulation programs. For this reason the theme of this event is:

The Virtual Foundry – Status and Future Developments
The international conference as part of the 46th Aachen Foundry Colloquium will include presentations in both in German and English with simultaneous translation. They will provide an overview of the current state-of-the-art and variety of simulation applications for the foundry industry.

Leading experts from industry, software providers and academia from all over the world have already confirmed their participation for the invited keynote talks.

The presenters come from companies such as Nemak, Ford, Martinrea Honsel, Liebherr, Flow Science, ESI, MAGMA, RWP, and research institutions such as TU Braunschweig, The University of Iowa, Jönköping University, ACCESS and the Foundry Institute of RWTH Aachen University, as well as guest speaker Prof. emer. Wilfried Kurz.

Mexico is the seventh-largest car manufacturer in the world and the fourth largest car exporter behind Germany, Japan and South Korea. This will yield interesting opportunities not only for suppliers of light metal foundries but also for producers of casted aluminum, zinc and magnesium parts to open up new business relationships.

Get on board with NürnbergMesse in Mexico as part of the EUROGUSS Mexico from May 4 - 6 2021 in Guadalajara and use this event to open doors to this strategically important market.
