The use of aluminum ingots
2022-08-15
Aluminum products have become one of the most commonly used metal materials in all walks of life, including a series of aluminum products such as aluminum tubes, aluminum plates, and aluminum rods that everyone is familiar with, but have you heard of aluminum ingots?

In this article, let Baowu take you to understand the product of aluminum ingots.

 

Aluminum ingots are produced by electrolysis using alumina-crolite. After aluminum ingots enter into industrial applications, there are two categories: cast aluminum alloys and deformed aluminum alloys. Cast aluminum and aluminum alloys are castings produced by casting methods; deformed aluminum and aluminum alloys are processed products produced by pressure processing methods: plates, strips, foils, tubes, bars, shapes, wires and forgings.

Because of its light material, aluminum ingots are widely used in many industries such as construction, power, packaging, transportation, and consumer goods. It can be used in the production of aluminum sheet, foil, aluminum alloy, and anti-corrosion packaging materials, and can also be used in aluminum alloys, utensils, cables, conductive bodies, core alloys, decoration materials, and daily necessities in the chemical industry.

In addition, aluminum ingots can also be alloyed with other metals such as silicon, copper, magnesium, iron, etc. to improve the lack of forgeability, chemical and physical properties of pure aluminum.

 

In addition, aluminum ingots have high corrosion resistance, high density, and superb casting technology. They are widely used in many high-tech instruments.

In addition, aluminum alloy ingots are made of pure aluminum and recycled aluminum, and other elements, such as silicon, copper, magnesium, iron, etc., are added in accordance with international standards or special requirements to improve the castability, chemical and physical properties of pure aluminum. Insufficient blended alloys. The use of recycled scrap aluminum to produce aluminum alloy has significant economic advantages over the production of primary aluminum. Since the purity of recycled aluminum does not meet the standard of high-purity aluminum, it is difficult to apply recycled aluminum to downstream applications of deep processing, such as aluminum foil, special deformation alloy, etc.
