Description

Premium Aluminum Ingots – LM6 Grade (AlSi12) | Low-Carbon, High-Performance Supply

GROUPE LUANO SARL is a trusted African producer and exporter of premium LM6-grade aluminum ingots, engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern manufacturing industries. Designed for performance, sustainability, and consistency, our aluminum ingots are widely used in automotive components, electrical housings, machinery parts, marine applications, and precision castings.

Produced in advanced foundries in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), GROUPE LUANO SARL combines responsible sourcing, metallurgical expertise, and low-carbon production methods to deliver aluminum solutions aligned with global ESG and quality standards.

High-Performance LM6 Aluminum Ingots

Our aluminum ingots conform to LM6 (AlSi12Fe) specifications under ASTM B179, a silicon-rich aluminum alloy known for its excellent castability, corrosion resistance, and dimensional stability. By carefully balancing alloy composition, we ensure superior mechanical and thermal performance across a wide range of industrial uses.

Key Performance Benefits

• Excellent fluidity for complex casting geometries

• High resistance to corrosion, especially in marine and humid environments

• Stable mechanical properties under thermal stress

• Good machinability and surface finish

With tensile strength ranging from 220 to 290 MPa, LM6 aluminum ingots from GROUPE LUANO SARL offer a reliable solution for manufacturers seeking durability without compromising weight efficiency.

Optimized Alloy Composition

Our LM6 aluminum ingots are produced using a controlled blend of 70% recycled aluminum scrap and 30% virgin aluminum, striking the ideal balance between sustainability and metallurgical integrity.

Typical Chemical Composition

• Aluminum (Al): 85–92%

• Silicon (Si): 10–13%

• Magnesium (Mg): 0.3–0.6%

• Iron (Fe): Controlled within LM6 limits

This formulation enhances thermal conductivity, casting performance, and corrosion resistance, making the alloy suitable for both structural and precision applications.

Technical Specifications

• Grade: LM6 (AlSi12Fe) – ASTM B179 compliant

• Form: 25 kg aluminum ingots (standard)

• Custom Options: Special molds and weights available on request

• Surface Finish: Smooth, uniform, oxide-free layers

• Identification: Permanent GROUPE LUANO SARL embossing for traceability

Each production batch is subjected to strict internal quality control and validated through third-party spectrographic analysis, ensuring chemical consistency and buyer confidence.

Sustainable, Low-Carbon Production

Sustainability is embedded in every stage of our aluminum production process. GROUPE LUANO SARL has invested heavily in low-impact manufacturing systems to reduce emissions, conserve resources, and meet international sustainability benchmarks.

Environmental Highlights

• Renewable Energy Use: Approximately 50% of foundry power sourced from hydroelectric plants

• Closed-Loop Cooling Systems: 100% recycling of process water during casting

• High Recycled Content: Significant reduction in carbon footprint compared to primary aluminum

Certifications & Compliance

• Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI): Chain-of-custody compliance

• OECD Due Diligence Guidance: Conflict-free and responsible mineral sourcing

These measures support customers seeking aluminum products that align with global decarbonization and responsible-sourcing goals.
