Vedanta Aluminium Business has launched high-speed billets for the global extrusion industry at a virtual event with participants from the downstream and extrusion industry. The company’s global experts on billet extrusion also shared a slew of initiatives as part of its Customer Technical Service cell for unparalleled customer experience.
Vedanta is India’s largest manufacturer and exporter of high-quality aluminium billets, which find end-usage in building & construction, solar/renewable energy, automotive, electrical and many other key industries through the extrusion process. Extrusion is a process used to create objects of a fixed cross-section profile by pushing material through a die. It also creates an excellent surface finish and gives considerable freedom of form in the design process.
Best-in-class global technologies like Wagstaff Hot-Top Air Slip Casting System (USA) and Hertwich Continuous Homogenising Furnace (Austria) have been used to manufacture these high-speed billets. Vedanta’s high-speed billets can improve extrusion speed by at least 25 percent, or more, depending on the extrusion environment. With superior metallurgical properties brought about with stringent process control and optimised chemistry, these billets demonstrate exceptional extrusion speed without compromising on the strength of the extruded profile. These products show significant improvement in process recovery as well as die life.
Launching the product, Mr. Rahul Sharma, CEO – Aluminium Business, Vedanta Ltd., said, “We are committed to manufacturing the best aluminium products, as well as offering our customers a powerful competitive edge in their business aspirations. Our holistic solutions are market-responsive and tailored to support customers at various stages of their evolving business journey.
