How this course can help.
Our Introduction to Aluminium Surfaces & Treatments training course equips delegates with a solid foundational understanding of aluminium surfaces and treatments. Whilst it is pitched at an introductory level, the topics are explored in some depth.
We aim to bridge the gap between fundamental knowledge and real-world applications to ensure that delegates are well-prepared to address processing challenges and contribute to maintaining high product quality.
Innoval’s surface science team has written this training course. They’ve drawn upon their many years of experience working with aluminium surfaces both in R&D and production environments.
