EC 1370 Grade Aluminium Rods

Midal supplies the world market with rod cast from the molten aluminium delivered direct from the Aluminium Smelter adjacent to its plant (Mozal). The liquid aluminium is super pure (minimum 99.7%) which allows Midal to cast an exceptionally high conductivity rod. Midal’s EC grade is sold around the world as well as being used ‘in-house’ to manufacture a full range of overhead conductors and aluminium wires. Midal’s quality starts with super pure high grade liquid aluminium delivered to our furnaces. During delivery, the molten metal is tested. The melt is channelled from the furnaces onto a rotating casting wheel where it partially cools and solidifies into a continuous bar. 

The bar is then passed straight into a no twist rolling mill to reduce it to a 9.5 mm or 12 mm rod which is coiled ready for the wire drawing process. Midal ensures that the highest quality EC grade rod is produced for conductor manufacture. The finished rod is carefully selected for the correct tensile strength and conductivity. The aluminium rods are suitably packed in two metric tons coils for immediate export, in wooden pallets. Once the coils reach their destination various end products can be achieved, such as overhead conductors for electrical applications and cables.
