Results for tag: "High Purity Aluminum"

High Purity Aluminum (HPA) is a specialized form of aluminum that is used in a variety of industries, including aerospace, automotive, and electronics. It is produced through a process of electrolysis, which involves the electrolytic reduction of aluminum oxide. HPA is characterized by its high purity, which is typically greater than 99.99%. This purity level is necessary for certain applications, such as in the production of semiconductors and other electronic components. HPA is also used in the production of aluminum alloys, which are used in a variety of industries, including aerospace and automotive. The use of HPA in these alloys allows for improved strength and durability, as well as improved corrosion resistance. The demand for HPA has been increasing in recent years, driven by the growth of the aerospace and automotive industries. This has led to an increase in the number of companies producing HPA, as well as an increase in the number of suppliers of HPA. Some of the major companies in the HPA market include Alcoa, Norsk Hydro, Rio Tinto, and Aleris. Other companies in the market include Alcan, Alba, and Alumina. Show Less Read more
