The first 7-meter-long aluminum alloy flat ingot production line of Yuefeng New Materials Group was tested under load
August 7, 2025
At 1:35 p.m. on August 2nd, the first batch of 7-meter-long aluminum alloy flat ingots of the Alloy Branch of Yuefeng New Materials Group successfully completed the load test run. The successful rollout of two qualified ingots marks a key breakthrough for the Alloy Branch in the production of high-end alloy products.
At 08:30 on August 1st, the aluminum was put into the furnace at the right level. The precise batching and initial component inspection were qualified, marking a smooth start. However, the casting process was fraught with challenges. At 14:44, the first casting was initiated. Due to the excessive temperature drop in the flow channel, the temperature of the molten aluminum in the mold was insufficient, and an emergency stop was forced. At 18:40, when restarting for the second time, the plug rod suddenly malfunctioned, causing the casting to be interrupted again. Facing consecutive setbacks, the test run team and front-line backbone of the Alloy Branch Company rose to the challenge, conducted on-site full-process technical analysis overnight, took immediate corrective actions, and recorded production logs in detail.
At 23:13 at night, the third casting operation was initiated. The team closely monitored key parameters, strictly controlled the process flow, and the casting process proceeded smoothly. The molten aluminum flows through the degassing and filtration system and is stably injected into the distribution flow tank. This time, the process is stable and controllable! After more than two hours of continuous efforts, the casting was successfully completed at 01:35. During the casting process, samples were taken and analyzed three times at the key nodes of 2 meters, 4 meters and 6 meters, and all the components met the standards. At 02:20, all the finishing work was successfully completed. Two flat ingots took shape majestically, and both their shape and composition met the requirements of the potential customer.
