The production of aluminum and other non-ferrous metals involves several complex stages, from the extraction of raw materials to the design of the final product.
Recycling and sustainable development
The industry of aluminum and other non-ferrous metals places great emphasis on recycling, as this greatly reduces the environmental impact of the production of new metals. Recycling is energy efficient and contributes to sustainability in the industry.
The use of recycled non-ferrous metals supports sustainable development by helping to conserve natural resources and reduce pollution. This is especially important at a time when the world is facing challenges related to climate change and resource depletion.
The industry of aluminum and other non-ferrous metals is therefore extremely important for many economic sectors, as it provides materials that are essential for the development and progress of modern society.
SIROLLS forged rollers are key tools used in the metallurgical industry for processing aluminum and other non-ferrous metals such as copper, brass, bronze and titanium. These rollers are manufactured using special forging processes that ensure high strength, wear resistance and long life. Their precision and quality are essential to ensure consistent and high-quality end products.
The aluminum industry is crucial to the global economy due to its versatility, economic importance, sustainable impact and role in technological advancement. Its use in various sectors, from transport to packaging, and its ability to be recycled make it one of the most important industrial materials of modern times.
Aluminum is an extremely sustainable material, as it is almost 100% recyclable without losing its properties. Aluminum recycling uses only about 5% of the energy needed to produce primary aluminum, which means significant energy savings and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
SIROLLS for aluminum industry are used in cold rolling of aluminum material. The aluminum is rolled at room temperature, which further reduces the thickness of the panels (to thicknesses below 1 mm). Cold rolling improves the mechanical properties of aluminum, increases strength, hardness and improves surface smoothness.
The production of aluminum foil is a complex and precise process that involves several stages, from the initial extraction of aluminum from bauxite to the final formation into extremely thin foils. Cold rolling is a key stage in the production of aluminum foil, as it enables the achievement of very thin thicknesses and high quality standards, which are essential for its wide use in various industrial and consumer applications.
Work rolls and backup SIROLLS are used in the cold rolling of aluminium foil.
Copper is indispensable in the electrical industry due to its exceptional electrical conductivity. It is used to make electrical cables, connectors, motors and other components where reliable conductivity is required.
TItan is known for its exceptional strength and lightness, which makes it crucial in the aerospace industry, medicine (for the manufacture of implants) and military applications.
Zinc alloys are widely used in castings for automotive parts, electrical components and other applications where high strength, precision and good machinability are important.
Non-ferrous metals, especially aluminum and copper, are very suitable for recycling, which reduces the need for new raw materials and reduces the environmental footprint of the industry. Recycling uses less energy compared to primary production, which contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
In the cold rolling of copper, titanium, nickel and other non-ferrous metals, work rolls, backup and intermediate SIROLLS are used.
