| 2Primary aluminum is defined as "The weight of liquid aluminum as tapped from pots, excluding the weight of any alloying materials as well that of any metal | |||||||||||
| produced from either returned scrap or remelted materials."� International reporting practices vary from country to country, some nations conforming to the | |||||||||||
| foregoing definition and others using different definitions.� For those countries for which a different definition is given specifically in the source publication, | |||||||||||
| that definition is provided in this table by footnote.� Table includes data available through May 5, 2007. | |||||||||||
