Aluminium Ingots are produced through the smelting process. Various grades of ingots are produced which are used for production of castings in Auto Industry as well as electrical applications. Ingots of various dimensions with maximum purity of 99.7%. Ingots are the material that is cast into a shape suitable for further processing. Ingots usually require a second procedure of shaping, such as cold/hot working, cutting, or milling to produce a useful final product. Aluminium Ingots are re-melted and further processed into a large number of products for various downstream applications.
PRIMARY ALUMINIUM INGOTS – these are ingots of unalloyed or alloyed aluminium cast from primary aluminium and possibly a small amount of runaround scrap
RECYCLED ALUMINIUM ingot obtained by recycling of scrap
REMELT INGOTS suitable for remelting – these include large ingots called “sows” (~ 500 kg) and small ingots called "pigs" (less than 25 kg)
Ingots for CASTING
EXTRUSION INGOTS intended and suitable for extruding, typically of solid circular cross-section, sometimes with a central hollow or a flattened cross-section
T-INGOTS shaped in tri-lock shapes and designed for efficient and secure handling, are used across construction industry, transportation, electrical goods to household appliances, T- ingots are re-melted to produce a wide variety of end products that cover the entire spectrum of aluminium applications.
