ALUMINUM APPLIED TO ROLLING STOCK CONSTRUCTION WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO LARGE EXTRUSIONS

Traction energy saving and reduced structural maintenance offer substantial advantages, but modern welding techniques require careful stress evaluation during design, and corrosion traps must be eliminated. Truck design and lightweight structures were comprehensively reported in four sessions comprising some 30 papers at the Aluminum Vehicles for Guided Transport seminar organized by Aluminum-Zentrale in Dusseldorf and attended by delegates from railways and industry.
