FOUNDRY

Akpa Alüminyum started billet production in 2011 with an annual capacity of 45,000 tons, and with the foundry investment made in 2024, it has increased the annual billet production capacity to 135,000 tons.

Operations during the process are carried out with state-of-the-art homogenization furnaces and cooling cabinet feed and discharge charged car, automatically.

Process is carried in the foundry by following the respective stages of melting, alloying, degassing, filtration, molding, cutting, homogenizing, cooling and packaging.

Billets produced in our foundry are 127 “, 152”, 178 “, 203” with a maximum diameter of 6,500 mm, made of standard alloys (1050, 1070, 6060, 6063, 6082, 6463, 6005 and 6082), as well as of desired alloys.

In order to achieve the desired quality for each billet, we carry out spectral analysis in the spectrometer and controls by taking samples from the molten metal during the alloying process and from the billet after the casting process.

After homogenization; shell thickness measurement, microstructure control, segregation and piece limit analysis are carried out.
