The
aluminum producer will provide advanced nickel-based superalloy,
titanium and aluminum components for engines and parts made by
GE.
The company did not specify the period covered by the contract,
which was first reported by the Wall Street Journal.
Alcoa said it would make the parts in six U.S. states as well as
in France and Canada.
Alcoa, which reports fourth-quarter results later on Monday,
said in September it would break itself in two, separating its
faster-growing aircraft and car parts business from its
traditional smelting operations as shareholders seek higher
returns amid a slump in metal prices.
The company said last week it would close its 269,000 tonne-per-year
Warrick smelter in Evansville, Indiana - the largest operating
smelter in the United States.
The closure will leave Alcoa with just one active U.S. smelter,
the 130,000 tonne-per-year Massena West plant in New York state.
