 Aluminum Remelt – Transforming Scrap into the New Power of Industry in the Era of Circular Economy & Net Zero By SO OK TRADING | May 23, 2026

 
♻️ What is Aluminum Remelt? Aluminum Remelt is the process of taking aluminum scrap from production or end‑of‑life products, re‑melting it, improving its properties, and casting it into ingots, billets, or slabs to be reused by industries. The highlight: it saves up to 95% of energy compared to primary aluminum production, while reducing carbon emissions — directly supporting Circular Economy and Net Zero goals.

 
Main Industrial Applications
Automotive: ADC12 and ADC10 grades are used for high‑pressure die casting of engine covers, gear housings, and structural components. These alloys can be recycled repeatedly, and demand will rise further with the growth of EVs, which rely heavily on aluminum for body frames, wheels, and battery housings.
Packaging: Slabs are rolled into beverage cans, which can be recycled endlessly.
Construction: Billets are extruded into lightweight yet durable building structures — recycled aluminum can be used infinitely in this sector.
 
⚙️ Alloy Specifications
ADC12 (JIS Standard)

Composition: Si 9.6–12.0%, Cu 1.5–3.5%, Mg <0.3%
Properties: Excellent fluidity, corrosion resistance, high mechanical strength
Applications: Engine covers, gear housings, electrical and electronic casings
Highlight: The most versatile and widely used die‑casting grade
ADC10 (JIS Standard)

Composition: Si 7.5–9.5%, Cu 2.0–4.0%, Mg <0.3%
Properties: Higher strength and tensile resistance than ADC12, but slightly less fluidity and corrosion resistance
Applications: Engine mounts, high‑stress components, parts requiring additional machining
Highlight: Ideal for applications needing strength and impact resistance
A356 (ASTM/AA Standard)

Composition: Si 6.5–7.5%, Cu <0.2%, Mg 0.25–0.45%
Properties: High toughness and impact resistance, can be heat‑treated (T6) for enhanced strength
Applications: Alloy wheels, suspension components, aircraft parts, hydraulic pumps
Highlight: Perfect for safety‑critical structural components
 
Quality Enhancement Techniques
Degassing: Removes hydrogen gas to prevent porosity
Fluxing: Eliminates oil residues and oxide films
Spectrometer Check: Ensures precise Si, Cu, Mg ratios to meet alloy standards
 
Global and Thai Market
Global: Over 41 million tons/year of recycled aluminum are used, projected to reach 51 million tons by 2031
Thailand: Annual demand of 3.5–4 million tons, with a market value of USD 8.23 billion. Automotive and packaging lead the way, with aluminum can recycling rates as high as 78%, among the highest in ASEAN.
 
Demand Drivers
CBAM Policies (EU & US): Mandating low‑carbon aluminum in exports
EV Boom: Lightweight yet strong aluminum structures are increasingly essential
 
Conclusion
Aluminum Remelt is not just recycling — it is the creation of new value from scrap metal. It delivers both environmental and economic advantages, giving industries a competitive edge in sustainability and global market access.

Aluminum P1020: Global Supply Crisis, New Opportunities for Thailand in the EV and Clean Energy Era ⚡ The year 2026 marks a major turning point for the global metals industry. “Aluminum P1020” (99.7% purity) has become a strategic metal that every nation needs — from the Middle East conflict that wiped out more than 900,000 tons of supply, to Asian premiums soaring to their highest level in 11 years. Thailand, which relies almost entirely on imported primary aluminum, now faces both challenges and opportunities at the same time: Premiums and LME prices have surged past $3,700+/ton Foundries and rolling mills are struggling with delivery delays, as lead times stretch from 30–45 days to 60–90 days Yet demand in EVs, clean energy, premium construction, and eco‑friendly packaging continues to grow steadily This is a critical turning point for Thai businesses — shifting from dependence on primary aluminum to adopting secondary ingot (recycled aluminum), while sourcing new supply from Indonesia and Australia’s clean‑energy smelters.

Aluminum: RSI Ingot 3104 Production from UBC and the Global Circular Economy Outlook SO OK TRADING : September 23, 2026 As the world moves toward sustainability and carbon reduction, the beverage can industry stands out as one of the most complete “model cases” of the Circular Economy. At its core lies the Aluminum Loop — a system in which used beverage cans (UBC) are returned to the melting process to produce RSI Ingot 3104, which can then be rolled into sheets and continuously manufactured into new cans. This process not only reduces the consumption of natural resources but also cuts carbon emissions by more than 60% compared to primary aluminum production, while generating tremendous added value across the industrial supply chain. In this article, SO OK TRADING takes you inside the production of RSI 3104 from UBC scrap — from sorting, melting, and chemical composition adjustment to aluminum ingot casting — and provides an analysis of the future outlook of the Aluminum Loop, which is rapidly becoming a cornerstone of the global circular economy. ✨ RSI 3104 — The Strategic Material of the Future for the Global Packaging Industry Follow this article to understand how “a single used can” can be reborn as “a brand-new can” within the world’s most sustainable recycling system.

“Global Gold Market June 2026 – Sharp Plunge Shocks the Market, Yet a Major Buying Opportunity” BY SO OK TRADING | 6 JUNE 2026 Global gold prices have recorded the steepest drop of the year! The U.S. Nonfarm Payrolls for May surged by 172,000 jobs, far exceeding expectations, reinforcing the belief that the Federal Reserve will maintain high interest rates for longer. As a result, gold prices broke below $4,400, hitting lows of $4,327 – $4,365. In Thailand, gold bars plunged by 1,450 THB in a single day, closing at 67,500 THB. Yet within this “shock,” lies a Golden Opportunity! Global financial giants such as Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, UBS, and Wells Fargo still project that gold will reach new record highs in the second half of 2026.
