Disclosed is a method for producing aluminum automotive heat shields or panels such as from scrap derived molten aluminum alloy using a continuous caster to cast the alloy into a slab. The method comprises providing a molten aluminum alloy consisting essentially of 0.1 to 0.7 wt. % Si, 0.2 to 0.9 wt. % Fe, 0.05 to 0.5 wt. % Cu, 0.05 to 1.3 wt. % Mn, 0.2 to 2.8 wt. % Mg, 0.3 wt. % max. Cr, 0.3 wt. % max. Zn, 0.2 wt. % max. Ti, the remainder aluminum, incidental elements and impurities and providing a continuous caster such as a belt caster, block caster or roll caster for continuously casting the molten aluminum alloy. The molten aluminum alloy is cast into a slab which is rolled into a sheet product and then annealed. Thereafter, the sheet product is formed into the automotive heat shield or panel with strength and formability as required by the automotive industry.
