Aluminium Alloy Ingots
Aluminium alloy ingots are remelt ingots supplied to foundries and die casting operations, where alloy chemistry determines castability and finished part performance. MET ASIA Alloys reviews alloy ingot requirements against relevant producer and supplier capabilities through our trading, sourcing and producer relationships.
Overview
Understanding aluminium alloy ingots
Alloy ingots are the standard commercial form for supplying casting alloys internationally. They are produced to defined chemistry ranges and remelted by the buyer, which means chemistry consistency, cleanliness and documentation directly affect casting yield and scrap rates.
The most widely traded grades are aluminium-silicon based, with copper additions used where higher strength and machinability are required. Many of these grades are produced through secondary aluminium routes, which links alloy ingot supply closely to recycled aluminium markets.
Why it matters commercially
- Chemistry consistency directly affects casting quality and rejection rates
- Ingot form and packing affect handling, furnace charging and melt loss
- Origin and production route can determine acceptability under buyer or end-customer policies
- Certification requirements vary by industry and must be agreed before shipment
Grades

Structured requirement review
Qualified requirements are reviewed against relevant producer and supplier capabilities through MET ASIA Alloys trading, sourcing and producer relationships.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
What are aluminium alloy ingots used for?
Aluminium alloy ingots are remelted by foundries and die casting operations to produce castings. The alloy chosen determines castability, strength, machinability and corrosion behaviour of the finished part.
Which alloy ingot grades does MET ASIA Alloys cover?
Our commercial scope includes widely traded die casting and foundry grades such as ADC12, LM6 and LM24. Other grades can be reviewed against producer capability on request.
Does MET ASIA Alloys keep ready stock of alloy ingots?
Stock availability depends on the product, producer, origin and transaction. Certain requirements are fulfilled against available supply, while others are sourced or produced to buyer specification. Availability, chemistry, documentation and commercial terms are confirmed during commercial review.
What documentation is available with alloy ingot shipments?
Certification such as mill test certificates, chemistry reports and inspection arrangements are agreed per transaction and depend on the producer, origin and delivery terms.
