The Association for the Surface Finishing of Aluminium e. V. (VOA) is offering its coating and QUALICOAT seminar and the anodizing seminar on 5.11.2024 and from 12 to 14.11.2024. The VOA plans to alternate its two seminars online and in person so that participants can benefit from the advantages of both event formats. In 2025, the anodizing seminar will therefore take place physically again.
Deepening QUALICOAT knowledge
Licensees and approval holders of the globally valid QUALICOAT quality mark in particular benefit from the VOA training event on the coating process. This is because the general licensor based in Switzerland recognizes the German general licensee's seminar as mandatory training. The international QUALICOAT quality mark is the subject of the seminar - with the current specifications, test statistics and self-monitoring. Other topics include the pre-treatment of aluminium, furnace temperature measurement and evaluation - also according to QUALICOAT specifications - as well as the energy-optimized stoving process. The seminar will be led by Matthias Krämer, Head of Technology at the VOA, and Ralf Heitzelmann (ALBEA Metall-Oberflächentechnik GmbH) in his role as Deputy Head of the Technical Commission of the VOA.
Three-day anodizing seminar
Under the direction of Friedhelm U. Scholten, Chairman of the VOA, the three-day anodizing seminar will focus on the anodizing of aluminium. The individual process steps of anodizing are taught - from basic knowledge and defect management to the international QUALANOD quality mark, which the VOA also awards as a general licensee in Germany. In addition, the association offers excursions on the topics of "Dimensionally accurate anodizing", "Circulation of anodizing baths" and "Digital sub-anodizing printing" and focuses on the important quality assurance for reproducible, excellent anodizing results.
