In line with the Make in India Movement, the Nalco has taken an initiative to produce AA 3105 alloy (having a composition of aluminium, manganese and magnesium) to its existing product range. Commercial production of the alloy was started since July 24.
The alloy has wide application in manufacturing of fan blades and commands a premium over the existing product range being produced in rolling plant. Congratulating the Nalco Collective for this effort, company’s CMD Dr Tapan Kumar Chand said, “With the product, Nalco will be widening its base in value-added products and also be an active partner in the Make in India movement.”
He further added that the new value-added product of Nalco will boost downstream units in electrical components and consumption market in Odisha bringing benefit in GST regime.
