Aluminium ingots are manufactured by the freezing of a molten liquid (known as the melt) in a mold. The mold is designed to completely solidify and form an appropriate grain struct ure required for later processing, as the structure formed by the freezing melt controls the physical properties of the material. The shape and size of the mold is designed to allow for ease of ingot handling and downstream processing. An ingot is a piece of relatively pure material, usually metal, that is cast into a shape suitable for further processing. Ingots usually require a second procedure of shaping, such as cold/hot working, cutting, or milling to produce a useful final product. Packing in: Loose stuffed blocks Show more
