Aluminum T-Ingot

As KMS Aluminum, we produce T ingot aluminum ingots with the desired features.

WHY ALUMINUM?

We can list the most important main features that make aluminum advantageous in many areas compared to other metals;

1. Lightness,

2. Despite its Lightness, Sufficient Strength when Alloyed,

3. Reusability,

4. High Corrosion Resistance,

5. Pullability,

6. Formability,

7. Malleability,

8. Workability,

9. High Thermal and Electrical Conductivity,

10. Light and Heat Reflectance
 

  Aluminum, which is three times lighter than iron, can be converted into a material with similar strength to iron by alloying it. For example, the use of aluminum in the automotive industry reduces the weight of the vehicle. Thus, reducing fuel consumption, while increasing the load capacity.

   Aluminum reacts with oxygen under normal atmospheric conditions and forms a natural protective film layer on its surface. This alumina layer, with an average thickness of 635x10-9 cm, protects aluminumcorrosion. Anodizing, painting, lacquering are other applications that increase the protective feature of aluminum against corrosive effects.

   Due to its excellent electrical conductivity, aluminum has replaced copper in insulated overhead lines, underground power cables and additional materials, which are the main elements of electrical power transmission and distribution. Another important feature of aluminum is that it is an excellent heat and light reflector. Thanks to this feature, aluminum is widely used in lighting components and heat beds.

   Another area of use for which toxic and non-infectious aluminum has almost no alternative is food and pharmaceutical packaging applications. Even with a thickness of 0.007 mm, aluminum foil is completely impermeable to light, aroma and gas. Aluminum, which is massively non-combustible, burns by releasing great heat when it is turned into micro pieces. Due to this feature, it can be used as a fuel in rockets.

SECONDARY ALUMINUM PRODUCTION

There is a cycle in aluminum production. Aluminum scrap is used as a metal source in secondary aluminum production. There are two main sources of aluminum scrap:

1. New Scrap with 100% probability of recovery, which occurs during the production of process and casting products,
2.  Old Scrap, which has expired its useful life, varies between 30-95% depending on the possibility of recovery, structure, shape and wall thickness.

The amount of new scrap evaluated in a country, with the capacity and capacity utilization rate of the aluminum industry; the amount of old scrap is directly proportional to the aluminum history of the country.
