Frequently Asked Questions

HUABO Advanced Aluminium supplies high-purity aluminium ingots from 99.90% to 99.99% purity to industrial buyers in Germany.

1. What purity grades of aluminium does HUABO offer?

HUABO offers four standard grades: 3N2 (>=99.90%), 3N5 (>=99.95%), 3N8 (>=99.98%), and 4N (>=99.99%). A target up to 4N5 or 99.995% can be submitted with chemistry limits, application, and total quantity for project-specific feasibility review. Composition data is documented per YS/T665-2018.

2. What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

MOQ depends on grade, specification, and current availability. Standard formats are 8-20 kg small-format ingots. For current availability and project scheduling, please start with a short email to felix.zhao@huabo-alu.de. Phone coordination can follow after the initial exchange.

3. How is high-purity aluminium produced? What is segregation purification?

HUABO uses a multi-stage segregation purification process based on directional solidification: 3N primary raw material, refining in a 25t melting furnace, online filtration, primary segregation, and secondary segregation. HUABO describes secondary segregation as a process step for 3N8 and 4N. A target up to 4N5 or 99.995% is reviewed only against the project RFQ.

4. Is HUABO aluminium RoHS 2.0 compliant?

Yes. Independent IEC 62321 testing reported all 10 EU RoHS 2.0 restricted substances as Not Detected (N.D.). Report numbers: TST20241108094C (Chinese) and TST20241108094E (English).

5. What certifications does HUABO hold?

HUABO provides ISO 9001 (36826Q00159R001, valid to 2029-02-09), ISO 45001 (3682653261798R0S, valid to 2029-02-09), the Green-Power Product Evaluation Certificate GPA-PMA20230821002 covering 110,000 t of molten aluminium.

6. What does "green-power aluminium" mean?

The Guangyuan, Sichuan production facility uses hydropower-based electricity. This is documented by Certificate GPA-PMA20230821002 with a 110,000 t molten aluminium scope. It supports lower embedded-carbon sourcing compared with coal-powered smelters.

7. How do I request a sample or quotation?

For first contact, please send a short email to felix.zhao@huabo-alu.de. Qualified inquiries are typically answered within one business day. After that, technical and commercial details can be aligned by phone with Felix Zhao.

8. What ingot formats are available?

Standard supply is 8-20 kg small-format aluminium ingots produced to YS/T665-2018. Ingot weight, packaging, and composition targets can be aligned to customer production requirements.

9. Where is the production facility located?

The production facility is in Guangyuan Economic Development Zone, Sichuan, China. Stated current capacity is 5,000 t/year and 30,000 t/year is a planned expansion target. Capacity is not actual output or guaranteed availability.

10. What is the delivery lead time to Germany?

Lead time depends on specification, quantity, and current production scheduling. Export coordination is included in standard service. Contact the Germany-based representative for current availability and logistics planning.

11. Is HUABO aluminium REACH compliant for the EU market?

Buyers should state the required REACH declarations and intended use in the RFQ. Availability, version, and suitability of documents are confirmed before quotation; the responsible market participant retains the regulatory assessment.

12. Which batch and additional documents can buyers request?

Buyers should state the required CoA scope, elements, method, reporting limits, language, and additional documents in the RFQ. Availability and version are confirmed before quotation; the actual batch CoA governs the delivered batch.

13. Which laboratory performed the RoHS 2.0 testing?

RoHS 2.0 testing was performed by Dongguan True Safety Testing Co., Ltd. (TST), located in Houjie, Dongguan, Guangdong, China. The test was conducted on November 25-28, 2024 per IEC 62321 series standards, covering all 10 RoHS 2.0 restricted substances including cadmium, lead, hexavalent chromium, mercury, PBBs, PBDEs, and four phthalates (DEHP, BBP, DBP, DIBP). All substances were reported as Not Detected (N.D.). Reports: TST20241108094C (Chinese) and TST20241108094E (English).
