Manufacturing High Performance Parts Quicker, At A Lower CostSuccessfully securing its place as one of the most sought after manufacturing conferences within the automotive industry the GALM Series Lightweight Vehicle Manufacturing 2016 Summit is returning back in its 3rd year with a brand new agenda that will focus on resistivity and quality assurance.

The program has been completely revamped to address the most pressing issues relevant to the OEMs today.

To address the raising concerns for OEMs with the ultimate goal of lowering costs and shortening production cycles, the 2016 program will look at brand new topics including advanced corrosion mitigation for mixed materials, ways to keep joining costs to minimum, managing composites paintability and evaluating reparability strategies alongside the all important ones of optimizing mixed material joining performance and enhancing formability of the new materials cost effectively.

Enabling Maximum Joint Resistivity And PerformanceWith the increasing pressure on the automotive OEMs to reduce emissions via wider adoption of lightweight materials, the GALM Manufacturing is returning to Detroit in February 24-25, 2016 to address the issues that continue to plague the automotive industry.

Specifically designed for manufacturing experts, the GALM Series Lightweight Vehicle Manufacturing 2016 Summit continues to lead the industry providing innovative solutions to challenges faced across every OEM. Regardless of which material companies are moving towards the challenges remain the same – how to produce lightweight vehicles cost effectively on the shortest production cycle.

Comprehensive Joining AnalysisDetailed case studies of aluminium-aluminium welding, aluminium-steel welding, steel-steel welding and even an evaluation of magnesium-aluminium bonding to measure it’s viability for a mass production environment

Quality Assurance at all StagesSessions explore all major aspects of the manufacturing process, but with a constant focus on quality. From assessing the life expectancy and durability of joining strengths, to the manufacturing standards to ensure material integrity and even the comparison of results for varying corrosion mitigation techniques, quality is examined on a forensic scale.

Mass Production of Composites A comprehensive analysis of different forming techniques for composites in advanced shapes, in order to show if an OEM can mass produce them on a scale where the high level of volume is matched only by the high level of quality.

Paint & Finish Meticulous evaluation of industry wide paint issues, including ensuring maximum weld paintability in metals, and measuring thermal expansion properties to negate potential paintability complications.
