      In addition to the liquid metal and aluminum ingots in P1020 alloy, Albras has recently started production of PFA, P0610, P1015 and bus bars ingots.

      The Primary Foundry Alloy (PFA) is a product created especially for the automotive industry and developed from the primary metal P0610, with the addition of four elements: silicon, magnesium, strontium and titanium. The P0610 and P1015 have greater purity, ideal to serve customers seeking innovative solutions.
