La oración de Jesús fue escuchada a pesar de su fatal desenlace. Su actitud frente a la soberanía del Padre condicionó la respuesta. Cuando oramos y no obtenemos lo que deseamos y nuestra actitud es la de Jesús, también somos escuchados pase lo que pase. Escuchar no es lo mismo que conceder pero Jesús recibió la ayuda necesaria para soportar lo que se avecinaba porque un ángel lo visitó para fortalecerlos, mantuvo su compromiso a pesar de lo que sufrió en la cruz y no permaneció en la tumba. Así, no es solamente cuestión de fe que se nos conceda lo que pedimos. Dios no quiere nuestro mal. Su voluntad se realiza en nosotros cuando nos confiamos en sus manos y recibimos el poder para soportar las circunstancias que nos toca vivir con la actitud que tuvo Jesús.

The Danieli group of companies rank
among the three largest suppliers of
plant and equipment to the worldwide
metals industry. Being a part of a global
organisation, but maintaining the ability
to govern ourselves, represents a huge
and exciting opportunity for us. The
integration of Innoval Technology into
Danieli follows five years of successful
cooperation between our two companies
in designing and marketing the Danieli
FröhlingDiamondMillaswefirstreported
in issue 5. In the last two years alone
the team has achieved many significant
orders, including a universal Diamond
Foil Mill for Nikkei Siam Aluminium in
Thailand, a 6-high Diamond Cold Mill
for Aleris Europe in Belgium, the world’s
widest aluminium 6-high Diamond Cold

Sapa Heat Transfer manufactures
rolled aluminium products for the
global heat transfer industry. The
company has about 1,500 employees
worldwide, with the majority based
in China and Sweden where its two
largest factories are located. Sapa
Heat Transfer’s products are used
in a range of applications including
radiators, heaters, oil coolers, charge-
air coolers and air-conditioning
systems.
The process development team at
Sapa Heat Transfer has been using
both the Innoval Ingot Preheating
Model and the Innoval Coil Heating
Model to give them insight and a
thorough understanding of their
processes. They wanted to ensure
uniform heating throughout the
ingot/coil in as fast a time as
possible, whilstkeepingthemaximum-
minimum temperature range as small
as possible. Following work with the
models, new heating practices have
been developed.
“The correlation between the models
and our physical measurements has
been very good. They’ve certainly
saved us time and disruption during
furnace optimisation projects. I’ve
found the models easy to use too.”
Karin Lingborg, Process Development
Engineer, Sapa Heat Transfer,

Commissioning of the first
Danieli Diamond Mill
We’re pleased to report that our collaboration with, and eventual ownership, by Danieli has
resulted in several high-profile sales of Danieli’s Diamond Mill. The first Diamond Mill sale
went to Nikkei Siam Aluminium Ltd in Thailand and it is now in the final stages of acceptance
testing.
Nikkei Siam Aluminium Limited (NSA) is the leading manufacturer of
aluminium sheet and foil products in Thailand. The company, which is
owned by Nippon Light Metal in Japan, employs around 300 people and
had a sheet and foil rolling capacity of 20,000 metric tons and 7,000
metric tons per annum, respectively. NSA’s products include brazing
sheet and finstock, foil in a range of gauges, capstock and sheet.
The Diamond Mill purchased by NSA is a 4-high Universal Cold Mill
with a maximum entry thickness of 2.0 mm and minimum exit thickness
of 0.05 mm. Innoval Technology’s rolling expert, Dan Miller, and foil
expert, Vicente Martin, have been involved with this mill from its design
through to commissioning. They have been tuning the control software
together with Danieli Automation, creating pass schedules and training
the operating team, all to ensure NSA get the best performance out of
their new mill.
The official opening ceremony, which saw production of the first coil,
took place on 10th August 2012. As we write this, the mill is undergoing
Final Acceptance Testing and is already being used for significant
product volumes.

In the 2011 issue of ‘innform’ we introduced our suite of Aluminium Rolling Process
Models; a set of fast-running analytical models designed to help reduce processing
costs quickly and easily. In this edition, we report back on how Sapa Heat Transfer
is using two of our models.

ceremony in August 2012
“It’s been a huge advantage for us to work with Dan and Vicente from Innoval. We’ve
really benefited from their knowledge and experience of both the rolling process and
rolled products. They have the knowledge of both the automation of the mill and
the relationship between the hot and cold rolling processes and the final product
requirements.”

Focus on Training
Many of you will be familiar with our Aluminium Rolling Technology Course (ARTC). We held the
30th ARTC in November, meaning we’ve trained an impressive 350 people, from 56 different
companies based in 33 countries over the last 7 years. What you may be unaware of, however,
are the other training courses we’re able to offer. Due to the diverse range of expertise within
the company, we give bespoke training courses on all manner of topics. Here are just three
examples of what we’ve delivered recently:
Thatcham Research provides
a unique range of products
and services to the insurance
and motor repair industries.
Primarily, the centre conducts research and
produces data which assists in the efficient, safe
and cost effective repair of motor vehicles.
In April 2012 Innoval’s joining specialist, Doug Boomer,
together with automotive sheet expert, Geoff Scamans,
organised a one-day training course for Thatcham at
our offices in Banbury. The course, which was aimed
at engineers and technicians, provided an introduction
to aluminium in automotive structures, including the
specific uses of various alloys, as well as the joining
technologies used during vehicle repair.
Garry Clark, Project Engineer – Repair Information,
comments:
“Doug and Geoff arranged a great course for us! The
feedback I’ve received from the other delegates is
all very positive. We especially valued learning why
certain procedures need to be different when dealing
with aluminium compared to steel, and we will use this
knowledge when writing procedures for repair.”
Automotive Structures
Amcor Flexibles Singen (Germany) operates
one of Europe’s major aluminium foil rolling
plants
In October 2011, foil rolling expert Vicente Martin
and metallurgist Dr Gary Mahon visited the plant
to deliver a two-day training course to a group
of around twenty people from the rolling and
finishing operations. The course covered the
metallurgy of foil alloys, thin foil requirements
for converted products, and how product
performance can be affected by both foil rolling
and foil stock quality.
Frank-Michael Apel, Head of Rolling at Amcor
Flexibles Singen, comments:
“As a group of non-metallurgists we found this
training very useful. It has given us a greater
understanding of our products and, specifically,
about the effect various processing parameters
can have on the final product.”
Foil Metallurgy
A workshop at Thatcham Research, Berkshire, UK.
Part of the Luxfer Group,
Superform operates from
two manufacturing facilities
in Worcester (UK) and Riverside, California (USA).
The company specialises in superforming aluminium,
magnesium and titanium components and is a first tier
supplier to major OEM’s.
In July 2012 Dr Gary Mahon, Innoval’s Director and Senior
Metallurgist, visited Superform’s Worcester site to deliver a
trainingcourseonthemetallurgyofsuperplasticalloys.Theteam
at Superform wanted to increase their knowledge of aluminium
in order to improve quality and operational efficiency. The group
of twelve, which included the company’s Operations Manager,
Quality Engineers and Production Manager, learnt about the
fundamentals of metallurgy and mechanisms of superplasticity,
as well as how aluminium sheet is manufactured.
Dave Edwards, Technical Director at Superform in Worcester,
has this to say about the training:
“Everyone who took part in the one-day course from Innoval
found it invaluable for increasing their metallurgical knowledge
of the aluminium alloys we use here at Superform. We are hoping
to repeat the course for more delegates in the near future.”

Material Characterisation
Update: formability
New booth for Aluminium 2012
In October 2012 the aluminium
industry’s biggest event was held
for the first time in Düsseldorf,
Germany. Tom Farley, Gary
Mahon, Kyle Smith, Dan Miller
and Helen Forrest promoted
Innoval’s Aluminium Rolling
Process Models and consulting
support from the newly designed
Innoval booth.
We’re always expanding our material characterisation capabilities and so we’d like to introduce you
to some relatively new additions to the facilities at our Banbury laboratories; earing and Erichsen
testing.
Thedegreeofearingisaffectedbymanyprocessparametersinthemanufacture
of can body sheet, including composition, hot rolling and the amount of cold
rolling reduction. The degree of earing is a key product attribute for can body
stock and, to a lesser extent, can end stock. For O-temper products, where
high and consistent formability behaviour is required, the Erichsen dome
height (similar to the Olsen Cup test) allows the impact of alloy and process
changes on the alloy microstructure, in particular grain size, to be quantified.
It is also a very useful
benchmarking tool when
comparing materials from
different manufacturers
and has proved invaluable
in our alloy development
programs. Both methods
are covered by our ISO
17025 accreditation
schedule and form part of
our inter-lab cross-check
activities.
Innoval supports Aluminium Surface Science and Technology
At the triennial Symposium for Aluminium Surface Science and Technology held in Sorrento, Italy, during May 2012, Innoval
Technology (represented by Dr Eoghan McAlpine and Dr Geoff Scamans) continued to make its presence felt in the world of
aluminium surfaces through participation in the Organising, Scientific and Young Researcher Awards committees, chairing a
session on Multi-materials, and presenting several talks (including a Keynote by Geoff).
Overall the symposium was deemed to be successful, providing an opportunity to keep abreast of the latest developments
and emerging techniques in the world of aluminium surfaces; none more significant perhaps than the advances in 3D
microstructural characterisation capabilities.
Full programme details for the symposium can be found on the ASST website: www.asst2012.org.
