pastiglia di fusione

Italian to English Tech/Engineering Metallurgy / Casting impact extrusion manufacturing process (aluminium recycling)
From a text on aluminium recycling.

I contenitori rigidi sono realizzati da laminati di alluminio attraverso un processo di
estrusione per impatto. In questo processo una lastra viene svolta e lubrificata, vengono tagliati con la matrice dei cerchi, detti pastiglie di fusione, che sono poi posti tra una matrice ed una pressa meccanica.

I have used 'metal blanks', as there are a number of references, but is there a a specific expression for these in the impact extrusion manufacturing process?
TIA

slug

or aluminium slug
Impact extrusion is a manufacturing process similar to extrusion and drawing by which products are made with a metal slug. The slug is pressed at a high velocity with extreme force into a die/mold by a punch.

Process Flow

Quality has its origin: You can only manufacture your products to be technically flawless and economically efficient with high-quality "slugs".
Our process is generally as follows:

Primary and secondary aluminum are melted.
After that treatment the molten aluminum then is casted into a strip. Following that the strip is rolled using hot and cold rolling in order to achieve the desired slug thickness.

The desired slug shapes are punched out of the finished strip.
The slugs are heat treated in annealing oven for further processing by the customer. A rough slug surface is equally important, which is ensured by means of shot blasting or tumbling.
Larger sized slugs are sawn from extruded round bars.

fusion tablet

Hexachloroethane free degassing tablet giving extremely low levels of fume in operation, with exceptionally fast breakdown and minimum melt turbulence - http://www.huttenes-albertus.co.uk/products/fluxes/flux_tabl...
Hexachloroethane tablets are normally used as the source for chlorine. Ammonium perchlorate can also be used, as it decomposes mainly into chlorine, nitrogen, and oxygen when heated.
Samples are taken for spectroscopic analysis. Depending on the final product desired, high purity aluminum, copper, zinc, manganese, silicon, and/or magnesium is added to alter the molten composition to the proper alloy specification. - https://sites.google.com/site/atlrecycling/aluminum-recyclin...
