hmm. good question. number one thing i'd use them for is as a heat sink when welding parts. That's if you were a production welder. or welded a lot haha.
So i'm not really sure, you could machine them in to something useful, but the question, as you asked, is what.
You could turn them over on ebay, if there's a market for that.
I know solid aluminum rod is pretty sought after. Throw it in a lathe and make a lot of mechanical parts, spacers, dowels, weld bungs, etc.
That is just such a large amount though that you mention. 476 lbs, yikes! and if they're only 14" x 7" x 2". There has to be so many of them.
What were they originally used for i wonder...
