Dont forget the nitrogen for the extrusions. They are used in amounts required to maintain a specific computer controlled burn temperature. <br /> <br />Aluminum coils are special. I used to take them out of various Midwest facilities on a covered wagon. You could fit three "Eye to sky" on a single 48" flat. Those got braced, nailed and strapped to the deck in a prescribed manner every time. They would be sent to Brewerys like Anhauser Busch to be literally consumed by stamp mills into cans. <br /> <br />Aluminum and Steel were processed and handled very similar to each other. The difference would be the base materials and processes for each of the different metals. (Or alloys if you prefer)
