Disclosed is a method for manufacturing an endless belt, of the flat type made of metal material, designed to be wound around at least one indexed pulley provided with teeth. The endless belt includes, for the one part, locations which are each designed to receive a product to be conveyed and, for the other part, indexing perforations. The manufacturing method includes the following successive steps: a) a step of supplying a flat band made of the metal material, b) a step of closing the band by welding of the transverse edges thereof via a weld seam, and c) a step of perforating the weld seam, at the at least one longitudinal indexing line, in order to form at least one additional indexing perforation that is also designed to engage with the teeth of the at least one indexed pulley.

Process for forming an aluminum alloy strip, including the steps of a) obtaining an aluminum alloy consisting essentially of, by weight, 0.5 to 13% Si, 0 to 2% Mg, 0 to 2% Cu, 0 to 1% Mn, 0 to 2% Fe, other elements less than 0.5% each and less than 2% total, and remainder Al; and b) continuously casting the aluminum alloy between twin cooled rolls having a force applied thereto, to obtain a cast strip of thickness between 1.5 and 5 mm, and optionally cold rolling the cast strip. The force applied to the rolls is maintained below an amount represented by a straight line between a point A and a point B on a graph of specific applied force (y-axis) vs. cast width (x-axis), where point A is (1.5 mm, 750 tons/meter at cast width) and point B is (5 mm, 500 tons/meter of cast width).
