About Aluminum Billet
-Produced from two main feedstocks:
ii. Aluminum ingot (virgin or recycled, melted in similar furnace types)
– Length: 6000–12500 mm (standard), custom lengths available
– Round billet (most common) and square billet (for certain profile shapes)
– Homogenization: Billets are heated to a high temperature (typically 500–580°C) to dissolve alloying elements and eliminate internal stresses, ensuring uniform composition and microstructure.
– Pre-heating: Billets are heated to extrusion temperature (around 450–500°C) for optimal metal flow.
– Horizontal Extrusion: The heated billet is pressed through a die to form:
ii. Tubes – for heat exchangers, fluid handling, and structural use
iii. Rods – for further drawing into wire or machining
Through this integrated process, aluminum billet enables the production of lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and dimensionally precise aluminum components that drive innovation across construction, automotive, transportation, and consumer goods industries.
