Its common knowledge that aluminum is one of the most abundant metal on planet Earth. Moreover, due to various beneficial attributes such as being light in weight and an ability to resist corrosion, it is also one of the most widely used metals in industries such as aerospace, transportation etc. A large part of the use of aluminum comprises of aluminum rolled products such as coil, sheets and plates. Along with being used in the aforementioned industries, these are also used to make cookware and various other daily use items.
KCO Aluminum LLP is a West Bengal, India based organization that is engaged in manufacturing, supplying and Exporting of Aluminum Rolled Products such as utensils. Our aluminum utensils are extensively used for serving food and drinks in hotels, restaurants, canteens etc. Since incorporation in the year 1999, the company has continued to scale new heights, penetrating into major markets, with more than satisfactory increase in their annual sales on an year to year basis.
History of Aluminum Rolled Products :-
Aluminum is a relatively new entry into the metal world as compared to iron and steel. It was discovered in the year 1807, isolated in the year 1825 and commercialized after the invention of Hall-Heroult production process in the year 1886. So by the time aluminum was commercialized, people had several hundred years of experience in metal rolling. Through references, it has been ascertained that the first aluminum rolled product was manufactured in the year 1890, it was a stew pan. The use of aluminum rolled products kept on growing and by 1903, about one million kg of these products was used annually. Since then, the growth in the usage of aluminum rolled products has been consistent, with these being the most used today after iron and steel rolled products. This growth has also been fueled by technological advances that has resulted in the increase in quality and efficiency of the rolling process.
Manufacturing process of Aluminum Rolled Products :-
To manufacture aluminum rolled products, the aluminum metal stock is passed through one or more pairs of rolls. This is done to reduce the metal thickness and also to make the thickness uniform. One noteworthy thing here is that if during the rolling process, the temperature of aluminum is above it's recrystallization temperature, then it can be classified as hot rolling. Similarly, if the temperature is below the crystallization temperature, then it is termed as cold rolling.
As for rolling processes used to manufacture these products, they are of various types, some of which are :-

As for rolling processes used to manufacture these products, they are of various types, some of which are :-
- Ring rolling process.
- Roll bending process.
- Roll forming process.
- Profile rolling process.
- Controlled rolling process.
Attributes of Aluminum Rolled Products :-
- Cryo-tolerant – Doesn't become brittle at very low (cryogenic) temperatures.
- Non toxic and non absorbent.
- Excellent heat conducting properties.
- Highly reflective.
- Optimum resistance to abrasion.
