Aluminium Ingots
Institutional bulk sourcing profile for Aluminium Ingots, structured around certified specifications, project tonnage and GCC delivery requirements.
Technical & chemical specifications
Procurement specification grid
The values below are procurement reference points. The signed specification, producer certificate and approved laboratory results govern each order.
| Parameter | Specification / Commercial Basis |
|---|---|
| Grade | P1020A / 99.7% Al |
| Standards | LME P1020A; ASTM B179 where applicable |
| Dimensions / Thickness | Standard ingots, T-bars or sows; producer dimensions confirmed in offer |
| Tensile Strength | Not normally an ingot acceptance criterion; downstream alloy specification governs |
| Chemical Composition Bounds | Typical P1020A: Al ≥99.70%, Fe ≤0.20%, Si ≤0.10%; other impurities per agreed specification |
| Sourcing Origin | Approved smelter / source country disclosed in commercial offer |
| Available Incoterms | FOB / CFR / CIF; EXW or FCA subject to source |
Industrial & engineering applications
Application context for institutional procurement
Aluminium Ingots is procured for institutional industrial and construction programmes where primary aluminium feedstock for extrusion, rolling, remelting and downstream alloy production. A qualified enquiry should define the required grade, governing standard, dimensions, mechanical or chemical acceptance limits, total metric tonnage, shipment lot size and destination port before commercial comparison. GCC procurement teams often evaluate mill capability, heat-level traceability, inspection access, seaworthy packing and discharge constraints alongside the material price. For project-controlled supply, the specification should also state whether third-party inspection, witness testing, legalized certificates or country-of-origin restrictions apply. AL BASAM coordinates bulk sourcing around the approved technical basis, nominated producer, required delivery schedule and preferred Incoterm, with the commercial offer identifying the contractual documents that govern acceptance. Buyers should avoid relying on generic catalogue values where a project specification or mill certificate is mandatory. This structured approach is particularly relevant to high-volume steel and metal purchases for civil works, fabrication yards, rolling mills and regional distribution programmes across the UAE and wider GCC.
