Production stages of aluminum billets
1
Pouring aluminum metal into special containers
2
Direct melting of metals in thermal furnaces
3
Transfer of molten metal by special transmission and distribution channels to the degassing section
4
Entry of degassed metal into the filtration stage
5
Capture all aluminum impurities by powerful and intelligent filters

Application of aluminum billets:
It is mainly used in aluminum extrusion industry and is produced by continuous casting or DC method.
Aluminum extrusion is a method in which aluminum billets are converted to profiles with a specific surface.
In the extrusion method, aluminum metal enters the special mold with hydraulic pressure and after cooling, it becomes the desired product. The application of these profiles is different and they are mostly used in the construction industry.
In the South Aluminum Industries Complex Company, the plan for the production of aluminum billets will be 86,000 tons per year! These billets are provided according to customers' orders in various sizes and shapes. The variety of sizes of aluminum billets produced by this company is due to the fact that it can meet the needs of different industries with the required sizes. The size range of aluminum billets of the South Aluminum Industries Complex is from 280 to 7500 mm.
Dimensions of aluminum billet
In general, aluminum billets are produced in different dimensions and sizes according to the mold used during casting. Most of the produced billets by the South Aluminum Industries Complex are produced in the form of cylinders with a diameter of 280 (11 inches) and a length of 7,500 mm.
