RUSAL introduces next generation of one of the most in-demand products - MaxiFlow 2.0

MaxiFlow 2.0 represents a high-quality cylindrical billet composed of the 6060 alloy within the Al-Mg-Si system. It was developed by RUSAL's proprietary research centre, the Institute of Lightweight Materials and Technologies (ILMT). MaxiFlow 2.0 billets will allow for a 10-15 per cent increase in extrusion speed when producing final products, compared to the previous version of MaxiFlow. This will ensure increased production efficiency for RUSAL's customers.

"The predecessor of the new product, MaxiFlow, was introduced to the market by RUSAL in 2019. MaxiFlow ingots combine the fastest possible extrusion process with high strength that meets international standards such as ASTM and EN. Compared to the standard line of 6XXX series alloys, MaxiFlow has allowed RUSAL customers around the world - from Taiwan and Russia to Turkey, Germany and Italy - to increase extrusion speed by 10-25 per cent. This speeds up the production process and allows us to resolve bottlenecks within the process chains," said Technical Director of RUSAL, Victor Mann.
