Recognizing that our customers often need assistance across a broad spectrum of their operations, we have conscientiously assembled a team of scientists, field experts, and engineers skilled in many disciplines of aluminum processing. The result is a unique, technical, and problem-solving capability offering proven solutions at every stage of a manufacturing operation. Whether it’s in the casthouse, hot-working, or downstream end-use applications, we know that it’s the people who make a project successful.
Our Metallurgical Consulting services cover all phases in the aluminum production process; ranging from raw material selection through final product quality control. Our expertise includes remelt, casting, hot and cold-working, thermo-mechanical processing, product finishing, quality control, and much more.
Almex provides metallurgical diagnostics and problem solving, manufacturing cost control and yield improvement, quality improvement, energy-saving strategies, product development, melt loss prevention, and environmental compliance assistance.
Almex will supply the entire casthouse process and equipment needed for the manufacturing of aerospace-grade wrought aluminum alloys in billet or slab form: that will be further processed through rolled plate, forging, or extrusion techniques. We offer a unique technology supply package for different market segments such as aerospace, precision automotive, foil-stock, or aluminum-lithium, with multi-level performance guarantees for the equipment, process, product, and performance of the plant’s finished material (rolled, forged, or extruded product).
If your plant’s Metallurgical, Operations, and Quality Teams are struggling with the minutiae of aluminum process knowledge such as handling customer related issues, finding root causes for quality issues, or designing process parameters, Almex can help with the multi-departmental process metallurgical data package required to solve these problems. Our technology packages have been developed with several decades of collective aluminium processing experience dealing with common alloys, automotive alloys, and aerospace alloys.
All the processes and quality checks are tailored to end application specific requirements of the plant. Previous casthouses that have implemented Casthouse Process and Technology Packages (CPTP) have credited them as being exceptionally useful and crucial in consistently creating quality products and maintained a well-trained employee base.
Almex has provided complete Technological Assistance, Corporate and Process Documentation, and Strategy Development to get a plant qualified for the demanding aerospace raw materials supply chain. This also includes facilitation of the casting process, testing of qualification lots, organizing required testing, preparation of data packages, supporting coordination with the aerospace major, and conducting internal audits.
