The aluminium metallurgy process engineers of Insertec are involved in the careful control of raw materials, alloy composition, and production stages to produce high-quality products efficiently and sustainably. Mass balance and environmental considerations are integral parts of aluminum production:

  • Melting and casting are energy-intensive processes. Recycling aluminium post-consumer scrap not only conserves natural resources but also reduces energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. This makes aluminium a highly sustainable and eco-friendly material in many industries.
  • From scrap to primary aluminium, the amount of raw materials input and the mass of aluminum produced must be carefully studied. Losses may occur due to oxidation, dross formation, and other factors, our team develops the most efficient solution.
  • Depending on application requirements (e.g., aerospace, automotive, construction), various alloying elements are added to achieve specific properties such as strength, corrosion resistance, and heat resistance. Having a vast experience, our team of experts study the different recipes to match with customer expectations.
  • Dross is processed to recover any aluminum content. Emissions and effluents are managed to comply with environmental regulations.
  • Depending on the customer final product specifications, different casting technologies are implemented in the cast-house facilities: DC casting, Twin rolling casting, ingot/sow casters, etc. Grain refining, degassing and filtering the molten aluminium before casting is crucial, our experts adopt the best available technologies in the market to obtain high quality final products.
  • Different solutions are adopted depending on the final product specifications, alloyed aluminum is heated to achieve uniform properties, enhance mechanical properties, optimize its strength and hardness, etc.
  • Our team suggests the most rigorous testing to ensure that alloy composition and mechanical properties meet the highest standards.
