Transportation Sector
Modern production site in central Europe,
specialized in meeting customer requirements
for forged bars and industrial profiles
Building & Construction Sector
In the heart of Germany and close to the
requirements of Central and Eastern
European markets: as one of the most
traditional German extrusion sites, Aleris
Bitterfeld unites extensive experience,
in-depth expertise and state-of-the-art
technologies when it comes to aluminum.
On this basis, a modern plant for the
production of small and medium sized
profiles as well as selected bars evolved
near Leipzig in the 1990s. This was swiftly
followed by the installation of two presses
which were in turn supplemented at the
end of the 20th century by new, modern
equipment ensuring on-going improvements in quality for our customers.
In close co-operation with its customers,
Aleris Bitterfeld manufactures high quality
profiles and bars from aluminum billets for a
wide range of applications. The comprehensive portfolio comprises all standard alloys
representing the 6xxx and Cu-free 7xxx range
as well as special customised products.
4 www.aleris.com
The primary focus is on serving the automotive industry while tailored solutions are
offered to the engineering sector, the solar
and the transportation industries. Over the
last decades customers in Central Europe can
rely on consistent quality from Bitterfeld.
Aleris Bitterfeld has been producing primary
material for the forge market for more than
ten years. Using 6xxx alloys specially
developed for this industry, tensile strength
of more than 450 MPa (Rm) are achieved
thus offering the possibility of an extensive
range of applications. Special forge alloys
for maximum customer demands (AlForge+
EN-AW6110A ) complete this range.
The following applies for all areas: high
performance, flexibility and absolute
customer proximity guarantee products
which satisfy customer requirements in an
optimal way.
Other services such as sawing, drilling,
material testing and alloy analyses as well
as the manufacturing of complex surface
qualities are also offered.
Consistent customer orientation is not only
offered by the plant in the area of manufacturing: Aleris Bitterfeld is also highly
attuned to its customers’ specifications in
the areas of logistics and delivery readiness.
From on-time to just-in-time deliveries
– everything is possible. The customer
forms the focus of all efforts to achieve top
quality and outstanding delivery
performance.

Intelligent product solutions and components from
hard alloys, with optional mechanical processing of
long profiles, e. g. for rolling stock and cars
Aleris Bonn is one of the best known and
most experienced producers of complex
large-profile technology in Europe.
Established in the 1920s, the plant has
consistently and successfully developed to
become a technology partner for its
customers. The company‘s trademark
today is intelligent product solutions and
component manufacturing.
The range of products includes aluminum
profiles for engineering, automotive,
building & construction and electrical
technology as well as comprehensive
solutions for the railway, defence, shipbuilding and offshore industry segments.
Billets from the in-house castshop can be
offered in more than 150 different alloys
for a wide variety of applications. Our own
plants and our European customers benefit
from many years of experience in the
manufacturing and machining of billets
with diameters up to 680 mm. Special
patented alloys for “crash applications”
have been developed for the automotive
6 www.aleris.com
sector. Yield strengths of Rp0.2 > 280 MPa
are achieved accompanied by crash
suitability while pressing seamless tubes
across a mandrel.
With its extensive portfolio, Aleris Bonn can
easily align itself towards changing
conditions on international markets.
Instead of individual parts, the plant offers
an entire service package from engineering
during the development phase through to
the finished product with the result that a
single supplier can provide customers with
large profiles including comprehensive
“near-end-shape” finishing services
achieving faster time-to-market targets.
The aluminum profiles are extruded
on three extrusion presses with press
capacity of 22 MN, 43 MN and 90 MN,
welded by highly-qualified experts inhouse
and processed ready for installation on
state-of-the-art CNC machining centre.
Our production is focused on the area of
rolling stock construction. Using the
experience in profile components fabrication and the technical possibilities offered
in Bonn, outsized assemblies e.g. side
panels, floors and roofs for rolling stock
can be manufactured at high quality. Up to
4 metres in width, side panels ready for
installation are manufactured from
extruded aluminum profiles of up to 28
meter in length which can be cut to size,
welded, milled, drilled, fully assembled and
finally delivered just-in-time all over Europe.
The technology required for such complex
projects has been established over decades
and optimised in close co-operation with
international customers.
HISTORY
Aleris Bonn is in a position to manufacture
heavy extrusions with complex shapes and
geometries on a high quality standard on
their unique 90 MN press, automatic MIG
welding equipment or long-bed CNC
machining centre. Short lengths with and
without bevels – manufactured on a
modern machining centre – can also be
offered for the automotive market. The
entire infrastructure is designed for handling
of complete assemblies and sub-assemblies
including relevant cranes and special lifting
devices. A great advantage is to have an
own team for design, construction and
production of jigs and fixtures.

HARD ALLOYS FOR HIGH END APPLICATIONS
PLANT DUFFEL
Plant Duffel: served industries
Automotive Industry
Aircraft and Aerospace Industry
Hard alloys for sophisticated applications, e.g. in
the aeronautics and automotive industries
Others
Located in the south of the Belgian port of
Antwerp, Aleris Duffel is one of the most
advanced producers of profiles and round
bars made of medium- and high-strength
aluminum alloys. With more than 50 years
of expertise concerning aluminum as a
material, the facility has become one of the
leading development partners of the
aerospace industry, the defence sector and
the automotive industry.
Hard aluminum alloys play a major role in
complex applications in aeroplanes and
automobiles. Particular emphasis should be
given to the AlEco62Sn alloy, a 100%
lead-free alloy for machining applications.
Using its indirect 50 MN press, the Ebner
horizontal solution annealing furnace and
the 800-t stretcher, Aleris Duffel offers
optimum production conditions for these
tasks. Modern ageing furnaces allow the
closest tolerances thereby guaranteeing
high-end products.
With its extraordinary drawing force, the
800-t stretcher helps to minimize residual
stresses for all hard alloys in order to
10 www.aleris.com
achieve close dimensional tolerances
after machining.
These facilities enable international
customers to procure aluminum profiles
and bars with outstanding technological
properties.
The company’s own cast house comprises
ultra-modern smelting and casting
machines. For example, exclusively
channel induction furnaces are used for
the smelting process which in turn
ensures optimal homogeneity of the
metal. This allows Aleris to guarantee the
customers reliable technology from a
single source supplier.
The wide range of hard aluminum alloys
available from our own cast house sets
the basis for the manufacturing of
high-quality profiles and finished components with weight saving advantages,
very easy to machine and represent a
high degree of recyclability.
ALERIS DUFFEL IS EQUIPPED WITH THE
FOLLOWING INFRASTRUCTURE:
• Cast house
• 50 MN heavy press (indirect)
• 16 MN press
• Ebner horizontal solution
annealing furnace
• Various drawing benches
• 800-t stretcher
• Short-length sawing installation
Additional to its technological competence,
customer proximity and a consistent focus
on customer requirements are strong
advantages offered by Aleris Duffel,
resulting in customized products with a
consistant high degree of verifiable quality
– in many cases developed in cooperation
with our customer. Aleris complies with
these requirements for its customers
