-Heart of an aluminium smelter and it looks very different from the production shops in your typical steel works that make cast iron or steel. |
Reduction Area |
|
-Molten aluminum is transported in buckets to the cast house of the smelter.-The resultant pure aluminum is cast into special molds where it is allowed to solidify.-In the cast house, not only is aluminum given the required shape but also the required chemical composition. The thing is that pure aluminum is used far less than aluminum alloys. |
Cast House |
