Aluminum Ingot

An aluminum ingot is a solid bar made of aluminum alloys, free from voids and twists. The aluminum ingot typically has a trapezium-like shape around its perimeter. The preparation of aluminum ingots involves several key stages:

• Melting of the aluminum alloy.
• Refining and purification of the molten alloy.
• Pouring the refined alloy into a specialized mold for finishing.

Aluminum ingots are prepared for the purpose of conveniently transporting metal, especially for large-scale deliveries. As a result, the dimensions and weight of such ingots may not be strictly regulated and can vary, with specific parameters determined by the manufacturer.

The shape of aluminum ingots is designed for ease of transportation and can easily fit into various storage spaces. They are commonly used in the production of ferrous metals to deoxidize slags, ferroalloys, and during the processing of ferrous aluminum metal rolling.

Aluminum ingots are an essential part of secondary metallurgy, and various types of aluminum scrap serve as raw materials for their production. Modern equipment, such as casting machines, is used to pour and remelt the metal into molds.

The production of aluminum ingots typically begins with the arrival of aluminum scrap at the smelting facility. It then goes through a process that may involve the addition of specific chemical agents to meet the required alloy specifications. These alloys are then used to produce aluminum ingots, which solidify based on controlled cooling processes and are ready for various industrial applications.
