Cast Aluminium

Cast Aluminium Scrap is a type of aluminium scrap that is derived from the casting process. It includes a variety of aluminium products such as engine blocks, cylinder heads, transmission cases, and other cast aluminium parts that have reached the end of their useful life or have been rejected due to defects.

Cast aluminium scrap is highly valued in the secondary aluminium industry as a source of raw material for the production of new aluminium products. This scrap is typically melted down in a furnace and then cast into new products such as automotive parts, building materials, and other consumer goods.

The recycling of cast aluminium scrap offers several environmental and economic benefits. Recycling cast aluminium scrap can save up to 95% of the energy required to produce new aluminium from bauxite ore. It also reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills and conserves natural resources.

The quality of cast aluminium scrap can vary depending on the source and the manufacturing process. To ensure the highest quality of scrap material, it is essential to sort and separate the scrap by its alloy type and remove any contaminants such as paint, oil, or other metals. This process can be done through various methods such as eddy current separation or dense media separation.
