While aluminum is the most common metallic element in the earth’s crust, aluminum metal itself is not found in nature. It was not until the 19th century that man discovered how to create it. Today, aluminum—sometimes written aluminium—is used in hundreds of individual applications, including packaging, wiring, electronic equipment, airplane and automotive parts, and more.
Converting alumina into pure aluminum and ultimately into useful aluminum alloys is an energy intensive process. That’s why you’ll find energy efficiency as one of the leading features in all Inductotherm Group equipment manufactured for the thermal processing of this important metal. No matter which processing method you require—smelting, melting, casting, coating, extruding, forging, drawing, welding or simply heating—there is energy-efficient Inductotherm Group equipment designed for the task.
