Aluminum Ingots Market: Overview

Aluminum plays a vital role in today’s industrial sector due to its intrinsic and versatile properties of strength-weight ratio, lightweight, resistance to corrosion, nontoxicity, thermal as well as electrical conductivity, etc. Recycling of aluminum scrap generally offers substantial cost savings when compared to manufacturing of new aluminum, even after considering the costs involved in collecting, separating and recycling.

Aluminum is put through the smelting process to produce ingots for further processing as per the requirement. Different grades of ingots, as per the required purity, are manufactured on a large scale, which can then be used for producing castings and certain electrical applications in automotive industry. Ingots are available in various shapes, dimensions, and purity, with highest purity level of 99.7%. Ingots are used as raw materials that are molded into required shapes by using a secondary shaping procedure for further processing in end-use applications. The procedures include cold and hot working, and milling or cutting which are necessary in order to make the final product.
