ECCOMELT CANADA JOINS ASI AS A PRODUCTION AND PROCESSING MEMBER

ASI has announced that Eccomelt Canada has joined as a Production and Processing member, bringing the total number of ASI members to 209. Eccomelt Canada Division of House of Metals Co. Ltd. is the market leader in the production of eccomelt356.2, a clean, economical and sustainable substitute for A356.2/AlSi7Mg0.3 ingots and T-bars, and the basis for Al-Si-Mg type casting alloys, as well as economical Si master alloys for 6000 series billet casting houses.

Eccomelt356.2 has one of the lowest carbon footprints of all comparable aluminum alloys and enables foundries and foundry halls to increase furnace efficiency and minimize the carbon footprint of their castings. Eccomelt products are used in all high quality castings requiring A356.2, such as wheels, chassis parts and structural die castings of Al-Si type alloys. eccomelt356.2 is used in safety-critical components such as suspension parts and trunnions, brake components and structural castings.

“Eccomelt356.2, a direct replacement for A356.2 ingots, bristles or T-bars, was developed in response to a growing global need for new sustainable and cost-effective ways to process metals. After calculating our accurate carbon footprint, we now want to increase and expand our stewardship activities by becoming a member of ASI and achieving certification,” details Dan Bitton, the company’s CEO.
