What Does AKDDQ Stand For?

AKDDQ stands for Aluminum Killed Deep Drawing Quality

AKDDQ, or Aluminum Killed Deep Drawing Quality, refers to a specific grade of aluminum that has been treated to enhance its deep drawing capabilities. This quality is achieved through the addition of controlled levels of elements that refine the microstructure, resulting in enhanced formability, improved surface finish, and reduced likelihood of defects during the deep drawing process. AKDDQ is commonly utilized in manufacturing applications where precision and strength are paramount, such as in the automotive and aerospace industries.
