ABOUT US

Columbia Specialty Metals high purity
aluminum pellets are uniquely designed
for the digestive process.

Our process not only creates a visible dimple in the center but a surface area that is completely covered with micro fractures.

These micro fractures facilitate the digestive process by allowing the acids to penetrate past the surface layer directly to the heart of the pellet. The dimple allows for the acids to eat away from the center first thus creating maximum surface area.
Surface area is important in this process and pellet can provide you with up to 15 times the surface area relative to ingot. For example, a 50 lb. ingot has about 15 sq. inches of surface area per pound, whereas a single pound of 1/4" pellet will have over 300 sq. inches. This increase can reduce your batch cycles time by up to 200% and improve your Return on Assets.

CSM products provide you with the maximum amount of surface area to mass available on the market.

Dimpled and surface fractured through our special process, our pellet gives you 15 to 20 times the surface area of standard aluminum bar/ingot per pound. With the support of our technical team, customers have seen up to 50% reduction in batch cycle times when using pellet compared to bar/ingot.

Our ISO 9001 Certification gives you the assurance that a "Best Practices" approach is being utilized when producing your unique or common grade product. We welcome a customer audit to validate our quality and look forward to being your primary or secondary aluminum pellet supplier.
