What is aluminum ingot

[China Aluminum Network] Aluminum, our daily industrial raw materials called aluminum ingots, according to national standards (GB/T1196-93) should be called "remelting aluminum ingots", but everyone used to call "aluminum ingot." It is produced by electrolytic method using alumina-crylylite. There are two major categories of aluminum ingots after they have entered industrial applications: cast aluminum alloys and deformed aluminum alloys. Foundry aluminum and aluminum alloys are castings that produce aluminum by casting; deformed aluminum and aluminum alloys are processed products that produce aluminum by pressure processing methods: plates, strips, foils, tubes, rods, patterns, wires, and forgings. According to the National Standard for Remelting Aluminum Ingots, "The remelted aluminum ingot is divided into six grades based on its chemical composition: Al99.85, Al99.80, Al99.70, Al99.60, Al99.50, and Al99. 00" (Note: The number after Al is aluminum content). At present, what is called "A00" aluminum is actually aluminum with a purity of 99.7% aluminum, and is called "standard aluminum" in the London market. As we all know, China’s technical standards in the 1950s came from the former Soviet Union. “A00” is a Russian trademark in the Soviet Union’s national standards. “A” is a Russian alphabet, not the English “A” word, nor is it a Chinese phonetic alphabet. The "A". In line with international standards, it is more accurate to call "standard aluminum." Standard aluminum is an aluminum ingot containing 99.7% aluminum, which is registered in the London market.
