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
6. Entry of molten material into molds predetermined by the DC system
7. Sending pure metal to the solidification unit
8. Final control and packaging

What is an aluminum billet?
It is one of the types of products whose raw materials are made of aluminum.
Aluminum billets are produced in the form of semi-made castings.
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.
