CURRENT TERMINOLOGY
Pure Aluminium Ingots
4
Pure ingots are cast from primary aluminium that has been reduced from alumina through electrolysis. Unalloyed ingots are offered in various grades of aluminium purity upon request.
Aluminium Foundry Alloy Ingots of 50 lb (22.7 kg) or 15.4 lb (7.0 kg)
6/7/8
Aluminium alloy, casting or foundry ingots are produced in several compositions to meet industry standards and provide the variety of features required in aluminium casting. Aluminium alloy ingots are a metalwork combination of aluminium and various alloying constituents.
Aluminium Foundry Alloy T-Bars and Continuous Casting Ingots
9/10
These primary aluminium alloy ingots are produced in different compositions to meet current standards and provide the variety of features required in aluminium casting. Primary aluminium alloy ingots are a metalwork combination of aluminium and various alloying constituents.
Zincalum Sows
12
Zincalum sow alloys (approximately 55% Aluminium and 45% Zinc) are solidified in moulds of appropriate form. They are used for coating steel sheet by galvanisation in the construction industry.
Aluminium Rolling Ingots (Slabs)
13
They are primary aluminium alloy ingots of a rectangular shape and size that are used in rolling mills. Rolling ingots have a fast-chilled structure; they are cast to specific standards, and are normally reheated before rolling to produce sheets and plates of different thickness.
2
Aluminium Extrusion Billets
15
They are primary aluminium alloy ingots of cylindrical shape and size suitable for use in extrusion presses. Extrusion billets are of a fast-chilled, homogenous form – from the metallurgical point of view – manufactured to meet specific standards. They are not remelted by users but are normally heated to extrusion temperatures before undergoing severe mechanical work in a press to produce an extruded shape.
Aluminium Rod
19
Metal wire produced by straining and continuous lamination in a Properzi´s machine, in diameters between 0.37 and 0.75 in. (9.5 and 19.0 mm), that are used mostly in the power transmission and cable industry. Both pure aluminium rod and alloyed rod are produced; the latter only of 0.37 in. (9.5 mm) in diameter.

PURE ALUMINIUM INGOTS
General Information Pure aluminium ingots are dross free, which minimises metal loss in later remelting. Cooling of moulds is carefully set-up in order to avoid any possibility of internal void formation. Automatic metal flow control assures uniform dimension and weight of every bundle. Stacking, strapping and weighing are automatically performed.

ALUMINIUM FOUNDRY ALLOY INGOTS
General Information Aluminium alloy ingots are dross free, which minimises metal loss in later remelting. Cooling of moulds is carefully set-up in order to avoid any possibility of internal void formation. Cleanliness of foundry alloys, made from primary aluminium, is guaranteed by using a highly efficient on-line metal refinement process consisting of inert gas injection and a ceramic foam filtration (CFF). Stacking, strapping and weighing are automatically performed.

ALUMINIUM ROLLING INGOTS (SLABS)
General Information Slabs for rolling (series 1000) are produced in different dimensions according to customers' request, by conventional DC casting. The liquid metal undergoes a degassing process in a furnace with cryogenic nitrogen. Ceramic foam filtration (30 ppi) is implemented for removing non-metallic inclusions. Metal cleanliness is ensured by the use of grain refiners of low boron content. The grain size is controlled by means of the addition of rod Al 5% Ti 0.2% B. The produced slabs may be used in foil production.

ALUMINIUM EXTRUSION BILLETS
General Information Among the main outstanding features in the production of billets, the following could be mentioned: On-line Liquid Metal Treatment The on-line refining system, based on the injection of tiny bubbles of inert gas (Argon) in molten metal and filtration through a ceramic foam filter (CFF), provides a high degree of efficiency in hydrogen degassing and inclusions removal from hot aluminium. Casting Technology Air-assisted casting increases billet quality providing an extremely smooth surface, minimum segregation shell thickness, uniform fine grain structure and minimum dendritic spacing. As a result of this, our customers can expect superior extrusions every time; higher extrusion speeds, reduced break-out pressure, longer die life, more consistent as-extruded surfaces, better consistent anodising response and improvement in mechanical properties. Continuous Homogenisation Treatment Continuous homogenisation process of the 6000 alloy series is carried out in a continuous heat treatment station consisting of a heating chamber, a holding chamber and a forced air cooling chamber. The temperature is controlled for each log, one by one, by means of sting thermocouples, of the contact type. Throughout the process the temperature is measured four times: at the entrance and exit of the holding chamber, and in two positions during the cooling of each log. The data are continuously stored so that temperature and the homogenisation time as well as the cooling speed of each log are available. In this way, information traceability is assured. Furthermore, the temperature control in the different chambers is performed both as a function of the billet temperature and the hot air temperature. As a result of this, a highly reproducible thermal control of each log is ensured, the dispersion being less than 5° C within the homogenisation of each cast. High performance in the process guarantees a constant metallurgic quality of aluminium billets, with excellent extrudability and uniform final properties.

ALUMINIUM ROD
General Information Rods are made from primary aluminium in a continuous casting and milling machine. On-line treatment is based on the injection of Nitrogen and additional filtration through a ceramic foam filter of 30 ppi. The rod obtained is automatically coiled, cooled by forced air and packed once room temperature is reached. The process parameters control guarantees all tempers related to the chemical compositions offered, with the exception of the annealing (O temper) which is obtained after heat treatment in a batch furnace.
