Feedstock for Aluminium Wire

The production of aluminium wire utilizes aluminium billets as the major feedstock. The changes in prices and availability of this raw material affect its manufacturing.

The procurement of aluminium billets is influenced by the cost and availability of raw materials like aluminium and aluminium scrap (rising demand in industries like construction or automotive affects the availability of aluminium and aluminium scrap). The fluctuations in its demand in downstream industries like construction, automotive, aerospace, electrical, packaging, and consumer goods sectors govern its costs and availability.

Competition between primary and remelting billet producers impacts prices when there is an oversupply of primary billets or limited availability of scrap. Also, environmental regulations and a growing focus on sustainability and recycling influence procurement strategies and compliance requirements.

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for Aluminium Wire manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Aluminium Wire manufacturing.

• From  Aluminium Billets: The feedstock for this process includes aluminium billets.

The manufacturing of aluminium wire starts with heating aluminium billets that are extruded through a die to form continuous wire rods. These rods are quickly cooled and wound onto spools. Next, the rods are pulled through smaller dies to reduce their diameter and improve their mechanical properties. The drawn wire is then annealed or heat-treated to enhance strength and flexibility. Finally, the wire’s surface is cleaned to get the high-quality aluminium wire as the final product.
 

Properties of Aluminium Wire

Aluminium wire has a density of about 2.7 g/cm³. It is soft, ductile, and flexible, allowing it to be drawn into thin wires and bent without breaking, even after annealing. It has high electrical and thermal conductivity, which makes it useful in electrical transmission lines and heat exchange applications.

It is non-magnetic and has a melting point of around 660 degree Celsius. It is highly resistant to corrosion because of the rapid formation of a stable oxide layer when exposed to air. It is resistant to many acids but less to strong alkalis.

It is non-toxic, non-sparking, and non-magnetic, making it suitable for specialized applications, including medical devices and electronics. All these physical and chemical properties make it useful in electrical, construction, industrial, and marine applications.
