Aluminium
Aluminium is extracted in aluminium smelters. In materials technology, pure and ultra-pure aluminium as well as aluminium alloys are counted as aluminium as a material.
Aluminium is used as a material not only in lightweight construction in aviation, but also in façade construction and automotive engineering.
Casting alloys are processed by casting in moulds. Wrought alloys are cast into ingots and then further processed by means of forming processes (rolling, extrusion, forging, bending), machining processes (turning, drilling, milling) and welding and brazing.
Waste aluminium (scrap) is processed into remelt alloys in remelting plants and mixers and further processed by moulding foundries.
