Billet Casting
In the 5 years since its installation adjacent to ENDER ALUMINIUM, 56.000 square meter aluminum extrusion, anodizing, and fabrication facility, the company’s state-of-the-art foundry has refined and redefined casting of aluminum log and billet for the extrusion industry.
Our two melting furnaces, two melt holding/transfer furnaces, and two casting pits enable us to produce up to 40.000 ton/year. Utilizing the latest casting technologies,ENDER ALUMINIUM, produces a wide range of 6000 Series aluminum casting alloys for use in extrusion presses.
“Special” alloyed logs can also be produced in the 6000 Series to meet specific customer equipment. Typically, material chemistry is altered to improve characteristics such as machineability or finish, depending on the end use of the product. Minimum quantities are required for these customer specific alloys.
