From scrap to
precision alloy

Our secondary smelting process transforms recycled aluminum into high-quality alloys with exact chemical composition.

01

Receiving & Sorting

Aluminum scrap is received, sorted by alloy family, and prepared for smelting. Contaminants and unwanted materials are removed.

02

Furnace Melting

Sorted aluminum is melted in reverberatory furnaces at high temperature, transforming into liquid metal ready for treatment.

03

Fluxing & Degassing

Fluxes are applied to remove oxides and impurities. Rotary degassing with nitrogen or argon removes dissolved hydrogen, reducing porosity.

04

Composition Adjustment

Alloying elements (Si, Cu, Mg, etc.) are precisely added to achieve the exact chemical composition specified by the customer.

05

Spectrometric Analysis

Our Thermo Scientific ARL 3460 spectrometer, calibrated with ALCOA standards, verifies composition before every pour.

06

Casting & Solidification

Refined aluminum is poured into ingot molds, donut molds, or bar molds. Each batch receives a chemical analysis certificate.

Industrial-grade
specifications

Chemical composition controlled with precision according to American (AA) and European (EN) standards. We also manufacture custom alloys.
