Alcoa Corp., a leading aluminum producer in the US, announced that it will start a construction project to increase the casting capabilities at its Deschambault smelter in Canada, which has an annual production capacity of 287,000 tons of aluminum.

The new casting facility will be set up in the existing building at the smelter, and it was expected to be fully completed in the first quarter of 2023.

The output from the project will complement the smelter's two existing vertical casting pits, which are used to cast T-bar ingots. The project was estimated to cost around US$8 million.
