Aluminium Slug Production from Smelting, Rolling, Stamping, Annealing, and Surface Finishing

This report provides the cost structure of aluminium slug by smelting, rolling, stamping, annealing, and surface finishing process. The process involves the melting of raw aluminium inside furnaces. The melt is first stripped in strip casting wheel, rolled in hot roll mill, and cold rolled in cold roll mill to achieve the desired thickness. The coil is then punched into the desired size. Thermal treatment is done on the punched slugs to help it attain strength, ductility, and soft temper, and to remove the lubricant used during the punching process. Lastly, the slugs are provided a rough texture through tumbling or shot-blasting methods.
