# Aluminium. Angul, Silvassa and Bengaluru.

Aluminium is bought from India as extrusion profiles, die castings, sand castings, sheet-metal parts and décor. India produces primary aluminium in Odisha and neighbouring states, and has strong extrusion and casting clusters in Silvassa–Daman, Bengaluru, Rajkot, Pune and Chennai, with Moradabad for aluminium décor.

Buying tips

## Buy it with confidence.

What to ask for in the RFQ and check when goods arrive.

  * State alloy and temper, and check hardness or conductivity on arrival.
  * For coated profiles, specify coating thickness, gloss and a standard such as a Qualicoat class.
  * For die castings, agree porosity limits and ask for X-ray checks on critical parts.
