  • Aluminum is a very common resource used for manufacture in many industries. These include automotive and aircraft industry, household appliances, building, packaging and electrotechnic industry. The properties characteristic for aluminum are very desirable.
    We have visited the Impexmetal Aluminum Konin factory to have a closer look at the manufacture of aluminum products.

    I would point out that the video does not match the title. The title says, "How does the Aluminum SMELTER work?", however no actual smelting is seen in the video.

    The video missed the most exiting part! Why is the household foil shiny one one side and matte on the other?
    "Aluminium foil has a shiny side and a matte side. The shiny side is produced when the aluminium is rolled during the final pass. It is difficult to produce rollers with a gap fine enough to cope with the foil gauge, therefore, for the final pass, two sheets are rolled at the same time, doubling the thickness of the gauge at entry to the rollers. When the sheets are later separated, the inside surface is dull, and the outside surface is shiny." Wikipedia

    • @joshacollins84
      @joshacollins84 2 роки тому

      Yes. From ore to final product. Which makes recycling aluminum very important. Although recycling aluminum is also very very electricity hungry as well.

    • @romanvarcolac2238
      @romanvarcolac2238 2 роки тому

      Well, that’s more the extraction process which requires immense energy for the electrolysis. Just processing it isn’t that hard and should use less energy than the processing of steel since the temperatures are much lower.

    • @ShainAndrews

      It does. Granted they are not that clean coming out of the ground so I'm assuming they gave them some sort of acid bath.

      from smelters through electrolysis, actually, what described here we call it casting other than smelting, smelting refers to the producing of primary aluminium.

    Incorrect title. This is not a smelter where aluminum is made from raw bauxite ore. Look up the definition of "smelter." That's where it's "smelted" not remelted.

    The title is wrong. This is not a smelter! No smelting is done there. Smelting is extracting the aluminum from aluminum oxide. This factory and all its processes takes aluminum delivered from a smelter and processes it. Your title is wrong and the question you have in the body text - "How does the ALUMINUM smelter work?"
    If you are going to have a channel that educates people then your information should be correct. Will you correct the description?

      In the US we built our aluminum smelters in the Pacific Northwest and the Tennessee Valley - because both those areas have huge hydroelectric dam networks. Rivers flow and water flows over dams 24-7.

  • @jmowreader9555

    The British spell this metal "aluminium" because they claim all other metallic elements end in "ium." Well...except for iron, tin, zinc, cobalt, gold, silver, platinum, copper, platinum, lead and bismuth. Sir Humphry Davy called this element "alumium," which at least sounds better than that tongue-twisting mess the British like.
