These proceedings of the conference held in Salerno, Italy in April 2007 describe work in basic research, modeling and applications for advanced extrusion and related processes, including computer simulation of new materials such as light alloys. General topics include benchmarks, material flow and constitutive equations, microstructures, optimization, dies and tools. Other papers cover such specialties as new materials, including hard magnesium alloys, new products, composite profiles of new processes such as hot profile bending, and information about research and applications of semi-solid processing such as thixo-casting and thixo-molding. All papers include full references and the editors include materials from the keynote speeches and a full index.
