    I believe UBCs are typically a 3000 series. If you are remelting UBCs you would be best off making a 3000 series ingot and selling to a company that is going to make coil stock for BC manufacturing.

    Modern cans are generally produced through a mechanical cold forming process that starts with punching a flat blank from very stiff cold-rolled sheet. This sheet is typically alloy 3104-H19 or 3004-H19, which is aluminum with about 1% manganese and 1% magnesium to give it strength and formability.

    I cant see your origin post with the composition, can you try posting again or PM it to me.
