Alloy development at S.S.ALUMINUM

As a manufacturer of primary and secondary alloy ingots, S.S.ALUMINUM takes customer requests, proposes alloy compositions, and makes and evaluates prototype materials.
R&D, and various tests and analyses of aluminum alloys are carried out daily at the R&D Center established next to the Shiga Plant.
