Products

  • Aluminium Alloy Ingots

    Aluminium ingots are produced between 4-7 kg and shipped up to 1 ton bundle for the Turkey’s largest companies that are producing die casting products for international automotive and household appliance companies.

  • Aluminium T-Ingots

    T-ingots are produced between 300-1000 kg our customers that are producing billets, sheets, coils and bars for mainly construction, food and beverage can companies.

  • Deoxidants

    Deoxidants are produced with aluminium rates of 94% - 97%. They can be produced as half ball (between 150-300 grams) or as ingot (between 4-7 kg). Our customers who are operating in Iron/Steel industry are using this product to reduce the amount of dissolved oxygen and other impurities.

  • Briquetted Flux

    Synthetic slag maker is a commercial, eco-friendly product, obtained from recovering the salt inside the aluminium slag in secondary aluminium recovery industry, by adding lime, binder and metallic aluminium.

Technologies & Quality

Spectrometer - Analysis Measurement

We make all our productions according to customer specifications.

We take samples at every stage of production and analyze these samples in our state-of-the-art Spectromaxx Brand Spectrometer in order to produce them in accordance with the specs in the customer specifications.

We routinely perform calibration and i-call verification of the spectrometer.

Microstructure Analysis

The internal structures of our products are examined in detail using advanced optical microscopes (Nikon). Through microstructural analysis of aluminium alloy ingots, we precisely measure the porosity ratio and the distribution of primary silicon, primary aluminium and eutectic Al-Si phases. This process guarantees the high quality and reliability of our products.

Product Quality

Vacuum Density / Flux Feeder / Degassing

We have begun using flux feeder, vacuum density test device and degassing machines in our production process in order to increase our customers' productivity with high purity and low gas density products.

Melting Pot Furnace

A separate lot is given to each incoming raw material vehicle and a sample (400KG) is taken from each lot and melted in the crucible furnace. As a result of melting, the free iron %, efficiency % and spectral analysis of the scrap are determined and recorded in the system with the given lot number.
