Aluminum Secondary Smelters
- Aluminum makes up about 8% of the Earth's crust by mass.
- Aluminum is theoretically 100% recyclable without any loss of its natural qualities.
- White dross from primary aluminum production and from secondary recycling operations still contains useful quantities of aluminum that can be extracted industrially.
- Aluminum is remarkable for the metal's low density and its ability to resist corrosion through the phenomenon of passivation.
- Growth in Aluminum production is expected to increase 5% - 7% per annum over the next 5 years.
Smelting Companies
- Aluminum smelting companies are an important contributor to our portfolio. Austin AI sorting technology improved our customer smelting assets when we met their goal of moving the global cost curve down.
- XXF and LIBS Technologies from Austin AI are well positioned to benefit from improved future market conditions
