1World totals and estimated data are rounded to no more than three significant digits; may not add to totals shown.
2Primary aluminum is defined as "the weight of liquid aluminum as tapped from pots, excluding the weight of any alloying materials as well as 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 10, 2004.
3Reported figure.
4Primary ingot plus secondary ingot.
5Ingot and rolling billet production.
6Primary ingot.
7Excludes high purity aluminum containing 99.995% or more as follows, in metric tons: 1999--34,893; 2000--40,956; 2001--26,586; 2002--40,443
(revised); and 2003--40,000 (estimated).
8Primary unalloyed ingot plus secondary unalloyed ingot.
9Primary unalloyed metal plus primary alloyed metal, thus including weight of alloying material.
