High technology in Rodabell
Rodabell Technology produces high quality aluminum billets and slabs, known for their smooth surface finish, small shell zone, and uniform-grain structure. The direct chill (DC) casting process extracts heat through two mechanisms: first through the mold wall as the molten metal contacts it, and secondly through direct contact (or “direct chill”) with a specifically designed water pattern as the semi-solidified billet exits the mold. This casting method reduces the internal stress in the cooled material by allowing contractions on all side, as opposed to only on the top of the ingot in a traditional trough mold.
This technology is applied in billet and slab in the measurements and quality requested by the client. All stages of the process are carried out by the Rodabell team, from design to manufacturing.
