Flat Rolling
Plate is produced by flat rolling—a processing method in pair of parallel rollers is rotated to turn an aluminum ingot, called a slab, into a thinner product, a plate.
Flat Rolling Process
Products and applications that utilize flat rolled aluminum are ubiquitous, including packages, caps, cans, household utensils, roofs, building interiors and exteriors, outer packages, freezing, refrigeration, home electric appliances, aircrafts, subways, and bullet train cars. We have purchased state-of-the-art computerized production equipment for automatic flatness control (AFC), automatic board thickness control (AGC), and other advanced features. Such equipment enables us to respond to increasingly diverse and sophisticated customer needs. By significantly expanding our production range and employing advanced produciton technology, we are striving to improve the quality and precision of aluminum products and ensure their stable supply.
