About Aluminum Rod
– Produced from Aluminum Ingot (melted in reverberatory, double chamber, induction, shaft, or crucible furnaces)
The molten aluminum is continuously cast and rolled into rod form via CCR (Continuous Casting & Rolling) lines, or directly extruded via Conform continuous extrusion technology from cast feedstock
• Available Sizes
Standard diameters vary by production method and application:
– Ø8–12.5 mm (for wire drawing and cable applications)
– Ø12.5–30 mm (for busbar and extrusion applications)
– Custom sizes available upon request
• Processing Routes & End Products
The production of aluminum rod follows a well-established processing sequence. Aluminum ingot or slab is first melted in one of the furnace types (reverberatory, double chamber, induction, shaft, or crucible), then continuously cast and rolled into rod via CCR lines or directly extruded via Conform or Konform LLJ Series extrusion lines. From these rods, multiple downstream processing routes are available:
– Round Wire: Produced via Drawing Machines for electrical conductors, power cables, and communication wires
– Flat Wire: Produced via Draw Bench for transformer windings and specialty electrical applications
– Busbar: Manufactured via Konform LLJ Series extrusion or draw bench for power distribution systems
– Aluminum Tube & Profile: Extruded from rod via Konform technology for construction, automotive, and industrial applications
Through these integrated processing routes, aluminum rod serves as a critical material for the electrical, automotive, construction, and industrial sectors, delivering lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and highly conductive solutions that power modern infrastructure and manufacturing.
