Abstract
Aluminium is the second most used metal in the world with its production being greater than all other non-ferrous metals combined. The global Aluminium production capacity is expected to double by 2025, with developing countries leading the growth. The rising demand in Aluminium is attributable to the metal properties that can provide benefits for a wide range of applications and to its very high recyclability, which makes it an environmentally sustainable product. The main areas of growth are: automotive and transport industry applications, aerospace and construction. The increase in production capacity will proceed in parallel with the demand for more sophisticated Aluminium products by end users for new applications. Process knowledge and modern technology are essential to meet the rising demand for capacity, material properties and quality. Siemens Metals Technologies is a rolling mill equipment supplier at the forefront of Aluminium technology. This paper will focus on the hot rolling process of Aluminium products, presenting the most advanced technical solutions available in the growing market and the latest references of Aluminium hot rolling mills for the production of plate and coils.
