The aluminium ingot is a piece of pure metal. It is in the shape of bricks and again change into their favourable shape or milling to produce a useful final product in the factories. Aluminium can be mixed with the other metals to form an alloy, from there aluminium is going through the cleaning process called fluxing. Then purified aluminium is poured into moulds and cooled down with rapidly spra.
Aluminum Ingots
Aluminum Ingots are made by melting scrap aluminum or bauxite ore at high temperatures and pouring it into a mold where it is cooled to form a brick-shaped block of pure metal called an "ingot". Making aluminum ingots involves heating the scrap or ore to very high temperatures and then cooling it down in molds. This results in large solid pieces of aluminum that can be cut into smaller pieces and used in construction, transportation, power, packaging, consumer goods and other industries.
Xinnuo Lixing (Huanghua) Group Co., Ltd. as a manufacturer of aluminum ingots adheres to standards of excellence through close monitoring and strict control, with modern spectrometers used to check the chemical composition of the products at all stages of manufacturing. Manufacturing processes and quality checks are in accordance with ISO 9001-2008 standards.
Applications of aluminum ingots
Aluminum ingot is an important raw material for aluminum processing and is widely used in the construction, transportation, electric power, packaging, and consumer goods industries. It has the advantages of being lightweight, corrosion resistant, easy to process and easy to recycle, making it an environmentally friendly and sustainable choice. Its applications include :
(1)Aircraft and automotive parts: Aluminum ingots can be used to make airframes, engine parts, car frames and body parts, etc.
(2)Construction materials: Aluminum ingots can be used to manufacture construction materials such as windows, doors, exterior siding, roofing panels and pipes.
(3)Packaging materials: Aluminum ingots can be used to manufacture packaging materials such as aluminum foil, cans and soft drink cans.
(4)Electronic products: Aluminum ingots can be used to manufacture electronic products parts such as computer cases, smartphone cases, and computer radiators.
(5)Furniture: Aluminum ingots can be used to manufacture outdoor furniture, planters and balcony railings, etc.
(6)Sports equipment: Aluminum ingots can be used to manufacture sports equipment such as bicycle frames, golf clubs and skateboards.
(7)Medical equipment manufacturing: Used to manufacture prosthetic limbs.
(8)Jewelry and crafts: aluminum ingots can be used to make jewelry, crafts that can be made into sculptures or ornaments
(9)Aluminum alloy products: It can be used to make aluminum alloy products, alloyed with other metals such as silicon, copper, magnesium and iron to improve the malleability, chemical and physical property deficiencies of pure aluminum.
Types of aluminum ingots
The types of aluminum ingots can be classified according to different classification criteria. Here are a few common ways of classification and their corresponding
(1) Classification according to the purity of aluminum.
Primary aluminum ingot: Aluminum purity of 99.7% or more, usually used for the production of high-purity aluminum products.
Secondary aluminum ingots are melted from recycled scrap aluminum products and are usually above 90% purity.
(2) Classification according to alloying elements.
Alloy aluminum ingot: aluminum mixed with other metal elements (such as copper, zinc, magnesium, etc.), commonly used in the production of various alloy aluminum products, such as aviation parts, auto parts, etc.
(3) According to the shape classification.
Billet aluminum ingot: square or rectangular aluminum ingot, usually used in rolling, calendering and other processing.
Round ingot: cylindrical aluminum ingot, usually used in forging, drawing and other processing.
Benefits of aluminum ingot
(1) Lightweight: Aluminum is one of the lightweight metals, with a density of only 1/3 that of steel, so aluminum products usually have a light weight and good portability.
(2) corrosion resistance: aluminum has good corrosion resistance, can resist the corrosion of most chemicals, but also not easy to be oxidized by the oxides in the air.
(3) Easy processing: Aluminum ingots have good processability and can be manufactured into aluminum products of various shapes and sizes through processing methods such as rolling, extrusion, drawing and forging.
Reason for selection
Aluminum ingots are essential in today's industrial world due to their versatility and strength. They are almost ubiquitous in all industries, from manufacturing to construction, from aerospace engineering to medical equipment manufacturing, from packaging to arts and crafts, making them valuable resources for many industries. If you are looking for a durable material that can meet your needs no matter what project you are working on, aluminum may be the perfect choice!
