Flextreme™ is Novelis’ proprietary technology for continuous horizontal casting of ready-to-forge aluminum billets. This new technology decreases the cost, time, energy and CO2 emissions in the manufacture of forgings because the as-cast stock does not need to be extruded, homogenized or scalped.
Novelis PAE is currently buidling four new JUMBO 3CM® continuous casting lines, which are expected to be shipped later this year to two of its major customers.
After the installation of four continuous casters in the early 2000s, a new contract was signed in January 2018 between Gränges Americas and Novelis PAE, for the supply of one additional Jumbo 3CM® caster at the Huntingdon plant, Tennessee.
Novelis PAE commissioned 4 additional continuous casters Jumbo 3CM® 2250 mm width at ASAŞ ALÜMINYUM in Turkey.
After the successful installation of five continuous casters in 2008, a new contract was signed last year between Assan Aluminyum, a subsidiary of Kibar Group, and Novelis PAE, for the supply of two additional Jumbo 3CM casters in the Dilovasi plant in Turkey.
