''Light Metal Age'' is a technical trade magazine exclusively devoted to primary production and semi-fabrication of light metals, specifically aluminum, titanium, magnesium, beryllium, and their alloys. However, the main editorial emphasis is aluminum. Published bimonthly by Fellom Publishing, ''Light Metal Age'' is distributed worldwide to primary and secondary smelters; casthouses; extrusion operations; rolling mills; sheet, rod, and wire mills; and foundries. Recipients are executives, general managers, plant managers, technicians, metallurgists, chemists, and engineers responsible for fabrication, production, and operations in this industry. == History == ''Light Metal Age'' was founded in Chicago, Illinois in 1943 by Roy Fellom, Jr., owner of Fellom Publishing. Roy Fellom predicted that there would be an increased use of light metals, especially aluminum. In the first issue of ''Light Metal Age'' in May 1943, he wrote a dedication explaining that the magazine was created to "herald the new LIGHT METAL ERA which shall see these most abundant basic metals brought to the service of man in all the common uses where metal is required."〔Fellom, Jr., Roy: "Dedication", page 4. Light Metal Age, 1(1), 1943.〕 In 1955, Roy Fellom moved the company from Chicago to San Francisco, California, where it remained until 1989 when the headquarters was moved to South San Francisco, where it is now located. Roy Fellom was recognized for his dedication to promoting the light metals industry via ''Light Metal Age'' in 1992 with the Maurice H. Roberts Award of Excellence, presented at the Fifth International Aluminum Extrusion Technology Seminar (ET ’92). In 2000, ''Light Metal Age'' was named the official publication of the Seventh International Aluminum Extrusion Technology Seminar (ET 2000), and was again named the official publication for the subsequent seminars, ET ’04 and ET ’08.〔(“Light Metal Age Named Official Publication of ET ’08” ) (DOC), (Aluminum Extruders Council ), 2007.〕 Roy Fellom, Jr. died in 1993. ''Light Metal Age'' is carried on by his daughter, Ann Marie Fellom. In 2006, ''Light Metal Age'' donated Roy Fellom’s extensive library of 692 books covering all topics of light metal production to the Paul V. Galvin Library at the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) in Chicago.〔("Light Metal Age Donates Metallurgical Library to IIT" ), ''Light Metal Age'', 2006.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Light Metal Age (magazine)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
