How Aluminum Plates and Sheets are Made

 How Aluminum Plates and Sheets are Made

A lot of products use aluminum, and a lot of items on this site use aluminum plates. Ever wonder how aluminum plates are manufactured? Ever ask yourself how the plates you are using for your business first came about?


The journey for aluminum plates and sheets start with the mining of the mineral used to create this metal. Bauxite, which is the raw material where aluminum comes from, is in clay-like type soil. This is usually found only a few meters underneath the ground and is most abundant around the equator.


Once the bauxite is mined, it is washed off of any clay sticking to it then ground up and prepared for the extraction of aluminum oxide, or alumina. In order to extract the alumina from the crushed bauxite, a process that involves a mixture of hot caustic soda and lime is used. The result of the heating of the crushed bauxite and the purification of the resulting crystals is the alumina needed for the creation of aluminum metal.


The next step in this process is the creation of the aluminum metal. This is done with the help of carbon and electricity. In a process called electrolysis, using negative and positive cathodes made of carbon, the alumina is then converted to a liquid state with the creation of CO2. This liquid aluminum is then poured into different forms that produce sheet ingots or slabs, which are then used to create aluminum plates and sheets.
