Aluminum Ingots are smelted from Aluminum Scrap and are used to make Alclad Aluminum Sheets and Aluminum Casings.

- Weighted Point is the weighted consumption rate which is calculated by:
(resource consumption rate / maximum extraction rate) * 10,000. The lower the better. - Energy per item can be used to measure how much power is consumed for the entire production chain. The lower the better.
- Space refers to building space, excluding belts and pipes. The lower the better.
- Among multiple ways to produce each of the ingredient, the recipe with the lowest WP is chosen. See also:
- The maximum conversion rate from Bauxite to Ingot can be achieved with Sloppy Alumina > Electrode - Aluminum Scrap > Default Ingot, but this greatly increase usage of Silica (and therefore Raw Quartz). Instant Scrap could also be used to reach the maximum, but requires valuable Sulfur.
