… and by conversion to LED lighting

• Automotive: substantial growth … and high demands

• Increasing focus on sustainability in B&C … and beyond

• Solar & LED lighting … growth, with cost, tolerance and profile challenges

Implications of key segments

Implications: Automotive

Implications: • Alloys: 6082, ? • Tolerances: Tighter • Cost: Reduction, Neutrality,

Justification • Joining: 140 flowdrill screws, 70

Tox clinches, extensive SPRs, 100 meters of structural adhesive

M-10

Currently, a multitude of different alloys are being utilized for a host of

various automotive components

Implications: Automotive

Implications: Automotive

Case Example: Lincoln MKZ

Panoramic Retractable Roof

• 10,000 per year target

• Evolved from Roof Module for Ford

Edge

• Existing design in steel, 28 parts,

stamping intensive, requiring high

investment

M-11

Objectives:

• Cost neutral

• 25% weight reduction

• Part count reduction for reduced

labor cost

Approach & Results

• 6 pieces only – 2 extrusions + 4

small aluminum stampings

• 20% weight savings

• Cost neutral with investment

reduction for volume

• 22 piece part reduction; reduced

labor cost

Implications: Automotive

M-12 Note: “industry standard tolerances” won’t cut it!

Implications: Automotive

M-13

“The only way for Jaguar Land Rover to meet fuel-economy goals with its big cars

and SUVs is to make them as light as small cars, says Mark White, the man in charge

of JLR’s vehicle bodies.

… that means switching materials from steel to aluminum, and the new Range Rover

Sport is the sixth all-aluminum model from the company

… Unlike General Motors, which prefers spot welds for its aluminum joining, JLR uses

only bonding and rivets”

Aluminum Intensive – and multi-material – vehicles are stimulating new joining technologies

Implications: B&C/Sustainability

M-14 Federal Building – Portland, OR

LEED v4 – the latest version of the U.S. Green Building Council’s building rating system – takes effect October 2016. • “Points” will no longer be awarded for

recycled content • Points will be awarded for EPDs

(Environmental Product Declarations)

• EPDs – can be viewed as an environmental “nutrition label” for products – and are based on extensive Life Cycle Analyses

Implications: B&C/Sustainability

M-15

These environmental documents:

• Are based on data from 11 member

extruders with 30 locations and >85

presses

• Encompass 1/3 of 2015 N.A. extrusion

production

• Provide detailed, updated,

environmental impacts for extrusion –

and for the first time, for thermal

improvement, paint & anodize

• Document use of prime and recycled

feedstock

• Provide architects with the EPDs they

need for the new version of LEED, and

provide other customers with details and

transparency about extrusion’s impact.

AEC has just completed “industry - average” EPDs for both standard and thermally-

improved extrusions, as well as a comprehensive “EPD Background Report (LCA)

Implications: Solar & Lighting

M-16

Growth in both solar power and LED lighting is being driven by

reductions in energy costs

• Solar: PV module costs have dropped by 2/3 in the past 4 years, leading to power costs approaching “grid parity” – the cost of conventional utility power. 53% of all electric power capacity put in place in the first half of 2014 was from solar! • LED Lighting:

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) estimated that nearly 50 million LEDs installed in nine applications saved about $675 million in energy costs in 2012. DOE further estimates that if these markets switched exclusively to LEDs, annual energy savings could approach 3.9 quadrillion BTUs, and $37 billion in annual energy costs.

Implications: Solar & Lighting

M-17

Extrusion provides substantial benefit – yet faces process challenges –

in both markets

Solar: • Benefits: Light weight, ability to incorporate mounting features reduces installation

costs; minimal maintenance over 20+ year life • Challenges: cost; thermal expansion ( desert structures can see a 100° F

temperature swing from day to night; a 12 m stringer will expand/contract 0.6”) LED Lighting: • Benefits: heat dissipation; freedom of form; minimal maintenance to accompany

reduction in re-lamping • Challenges: complex shapes

Implications: Solar & Lighting

M-18

Case Example: LED Lighting

Original heat sink

Center Mount LED Lighting Fixture

• Issue -- Develop a heat sink for a new, array-style center mount LED light fixture for Medical/Examination applications. This application requires dimming from 10% to 100%, a 3700 lumen output, 60,000 hour life and electromagnetic compatibility

• Objectives

- reduce mass

- preserve, or improve heat dissipation effectiveness

- source in North America for supply chain efficiency

Implications: Solar & Lighting

Redesign

• Approach

- Replace solid center hub with hollow section with uniform wall center web to ensure structural performance

- Replace solid sections to be drilled for screw attachment with integral screw bosses

- Utilize 6360 alloy for thermal conductivity, and to facilitate high tongue ratios and tight tolerances

• Results

- 47% weight reduction

- 4% increase in surface area, for improved heat dissipation

- elimination of secondary drilling operations, reducing total cost and speeding manufacturing

Competitive Activity

With recovery, extruders are investing in presses …

… and across the value chain

• A market recovering, but still in need of aggressive market development efforts

• Substantial opportunities … and challenges in: • Automotive • B&C and other sustainability-focused markets • Solar and Lighting

• More demanding customers, with expectations of: • PPAPs and LCAs and EPDs and HPDs, • Increased technical support • value chain integration

• Widespread upgrading of NA press, remelt and fabrication capability

Extruders focused more sharply on key end markets
