Our products can be found in everything from beer cans, to pickup trucks, and electronic devices. Each of these products requires unique specifications ranging from mechanical properties to surface quality. A major challenge is developing production friendly surface treatment processes that can be applied uniformly, consistently, and over large areas, at high speed. Here we will review manufacturing processes and some of the challenges associated with the manufacturing of flat rolled aluminum products.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;Thomas Beck (TJ) is a Sr. Scientist in the surface science group at the Novelis Global Research and Technology Center (NGRTC) in Kennesaw, GA. While at Novelis TJ has led multiple exploratory projects investigating novel surface treatment processes as well as serving as a subject matter expert in the areas of failure analysis and material characterization. TJ has played a key role in creating the forensic analysis lab at the NGRTC, enabling cross functional root cause analysis of many challenging issues.\u0026nbsp; In addition to these roles he has had the opportunity to work with teams exploring technologies which have the potential for creating new business opportunities for Novelis. Prior to joining Novelis, TJ worked at the Institute for Electronics and Nanotechnology where he worked on developing various nano and microfabrication processes for both internal and external customers.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Ch4\u003EKeep an eye out for next semester\u0026#39;s Lunch and Learn schedule!\u003C\/h4\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Ch4\u003EBeer Cans to Pickup Trucks, the Science and Technology Behind Flat Rolled Aluminum Products\u003C\/h4\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EMonday, April 13, 12 - 1 PM:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cstrong\u003EThomas Beck,\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nSenior Scientist \u0026ndash; Novelis, Global Research and Technology Center\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Ch4\u003ELink to virtual meeting:\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/gatech.us3.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=5509a5293bfa99c4fe533c5e9\u0026amp;id=eacda0aab3\u0026amp;e=baef3f8925\u0026amp;mc_cid=00b58e6711\u0026amp;mc_eid=%5bUNIQID%5d\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003Ehttps:\/\/bluejeans.com\/119905480\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/h4\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Thomas Beck - Beer Cans to Pickup Trucks, the Science and Technology Behind Flat Rolled Aluminum Products (Virtual Session)"}],"uid":"27338","created_gmt":"2020-02-03 18:42:01","changed_gmt":"2020-04-07 19:29:11","author":"Brent Verrill","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2020-04-13T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2020-04-13T14:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2020-04-13T14:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2020-04-13 17:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2020-04-13 18:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2020-04-13 18:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/bluejeans.com\/119905480","title":"Link to virtual meeting"}],"groups":[{"id":"155831","name":"Georgia Tech Manufacturing Institute (GTMI)"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"94431","name":"Georgia Tech Manufacturing Institute (GTMI)"},{"id":"8525","name":"lunch and learn"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"177814","name":"Postdoc"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:billyde.brown@gatech.edu\u0022\u003EBillyde Brown\u003C\/a\u003E,\u0026nbsp;Research Faculty Director of Manufacturing Education Programs\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
