Weston Aluminium

Material Produced


ALDEX

Aldex is made from the Non Metallic Product (NMP) recovered from Aluminium dross processing.

Aldex products are used as flux, slag conditioner, desulpherising agent etc in steel making.

It is also used in the foundry industry and as a raw material in cement making, refractory production and as an ingredient for flux manufacture.

Aldex grades

Vary from AD5 ( 5% Al metallic ) up to AD50 ( 50% Al metallic)
Forms of packaging including:
  • 10kg to 20kg paper bags
  • 1 - 2 MT bulker bags

BASE METAL SOWS

Weston produces aluminium sows (cast blocks) from metal recovered from processing aluminium drosses. These sows are available for domestic or export market and are used extensively as feed for production of aluminium alloys.

Base Metal Produced

Size: 1050mm x 900mm x Various H
Weight: Approx 500 - 700kg
Full chemical analysis is determined and provided for each batch of sows

DE-OXIDANT

De-oxidant is used in the steel making process, to reduce the amount of oxygen present in molten steel. This is achieved because aluminium has a high affinity for oxygen and preferentially bonds to aluminium over iron. This aluminium oxide is then skimmed from the melt as a slag.
Pucks can be manufactured to any specification required.

De-oxidant Produced

Most forms and specifications of aluminium de-oxidant:
REGULAR PUCKS
Size: 75mm maximum width in any direction.
Weight: Approx. 120 grams
MINI PUCKS
Size: 40mm maximum width in any direction.
Weight: Approx. 55 grams.
The distinctive pyramid shape lends to good penetration into slags and large surface area for complete dissolution.

ALUMINIUM SHOTS & PELLETS

Used as a fine alloy addition or as an alternative form of de-oxidant, shots and pellets can be manufactured in both primary and secondary aluminium grades.

Shape Size Produced

Sizes can be manufactured from 8mm to 20mm diameter.

ALUMINIUM INGOTS

Weston Aluminium produces alloy ingots for the steel making and automotive industries, as well as a full range of die casting alloys. Speciality alloys are produced upon request.

INGOTS Produced

Sizes: Nominal 5 kilogram ingots (+/- 0.5 kgs).
Packing: 95 ingots stacked in 13 rows x 7 ingots per row + 4 skid ingots underneath.
Nominal nett bundle weight 475 kgs.
(Other bundle heights by arrangement).
