What to check before you buy
- Al purity %: State the minimum aluminium content, for example 99.7% for P1020, and agree that it will be confirmed by spectro analysis on each lot.
- Chemical composition: List the alloy standard and the limits for key elements such as Si, Cu, Fe, Mg, Zn and Mn. Ask for a composition report with every lot and keep the right to test on arrival.
- Weight per piece: Agree the approximate weight of each ingot, sow or bundle so it suits your furnace charging and handling, and ask for a packing list with gross and net weights.
- Lot check: Agree the grade or alloy designation, the purity or composition limits and the spectro report that will travel with each lot. Check weight per piece, bundle strapping, surface cleanliness (no dross, moisture or oxide pockets) and the heat or lot marking on the ingots.
