Alcoa Corporation products

EcoLum is primary aluminum with an emissions intensity¹ that is one-third the industry average.² Produced from smelters that use renewable energy and low carbon alumina sources, EcoLum is offered in a full range of products, including billet, foundry, slab, wire rod, unalloyed high purity and P1020.

Aluminum`s status as a nearly infinitely recyclable metal makes it a key enabler of the circular economy. EcoDura contains at least 50 percent recycled content,⁴ conserving significant amounts of energy and reducing the environmental impacts associated with producing virgin aluminum. EcoDura is manufactured in North America and Europe, using clean scrap from verified sources and is available to customers globally.

Described as the greatest breakthrough in the aluminum industry since the late 1800s, this Alcoa-invented technology has the potential to completely revolutionize the global aluminum industry. Aluminum has always been the leading choice for sustainable product development due to its light-weight, strength and infinite recyclability. ELYSIS technology takes the miracle metal`s sustainable advantage to a new level. The ELYSIS process emits pure oxygen as a byproduct and eliminates all of the greenhouse gas emissions associated with traditional smelting. This innovation involves replacing the carbon anodes used in traditional aluminum smelting with inert, proprietary materials.

Utilizes good mechanical properties in highly-demanding structural and lightweight applications in the automotive and construction industries.

Eliminates heat treat cost and distortion, good castability for shock towers, structural parts, battery housings, etc. Non-Heat Treatable alloys for time- and cost-effi cient production of HPDC thin-walled automotive structural parts

Optimizing high-pressure thin wall die casting performance. 370 EZCast alloys are the result of several decades of development in the area of high-pressure die castings (HPDC). This effort initially yielded the alloys used for the all-aluminum space frame in the Audi A8 and the Ferrari 360 Modena. Ongoing development has produced a new world of crash-resistant structural components for automotive applications.

Optimized properties and savings through heat treatment avoidance. Aluminium megacastings is an emerging trend, reducing complexity and becoming widely accepted in the Automotive industry. C611 EZCast is a heat-treatment free alloy, which can be used in large die casting machines and complex automotive applications. C611 EZCast is suitable and proven for megacasting, enhancing manufacturing of single body pieces with gross weight up to 100 kg.

Improved strength for lightweight in high-demanding structural applications. Weight reduction in Automotive applications is becoming a crucial topic in an industry where high strength is required to enhance lightweight. C891F EZCastPlus™ alloy is the new generation of high-strength alloys. C891F EZCastPlus™ is designed to achieve increased strength combined with good mechanical properties for high-demanding structural and lightweight applications in the Automotive industry.
