Shenghai Aluminum

It might be difficult to accept yet just 150 years back aluminum was thought to be silver from earth and a to a great degree costly sort of metal. Today, aluminum positions number two in the utilization volumes among every one of the metals, outperformed just by steel. In the coming decades the interest for aluminum will keep expanding at relentless rates. Late advancements in the engine business, the fast development of urban communities, new potential employments of aluminum as a substitute to copper in the power business – these and numerous different patterns imply that the winged metal is all around put to reinforce its overwhelming position as a key basic material of the 21st century.

In 2014 worldwide aluminum generation have come to 54 mln tons. The ex-China aluminum market was in shortage of 1.2 million tons.

As indicated by CRU and International Aluminum Institute in the principal half of 2015 aluminum creation on the planet outside ex-China developed by 2% YoY to 13 million tons. This development was mostly from Asia and the Middle East, with South and North America driving the decrease underway.

Overcapacity in the Chinese aluminum advertise proceeded all through the primary portion of 2015. Subsequently add up to aluminum stocks in China in the principal half of 2015 achieved 2.65 million tons. From January to May 2015, Chinese introduced aluminum limit ascended by 1.0 million tons for each year to 36.545 million tons.

The primary change to the supply condition came about because of the fare of aluminum semis from China. Net fares of semis rose by 47% YoY in the primary half 2015. Because of a regular lull in the residential market, aluminum item makers needed to send out, even at a misfortune, so as to create income.

Accordingly of both rising Chinese semi fares and development of ex-China aluminum creation, RUSAL gauges that the worldwide aluminum advertise faces a minor excess of 277,000 tons in FY15.

In 2014 four biggest aluminum makers on the planet have decreased the generation of the metal. Then whatever remains of the TOP-10 organizations have expanded yield by 300-400 thousand tons. Norwegian maker Hydro had the speediest generation development – from 1.25 to 1.96 million tons.

Worldwide aluminum request in 2014 rose by 7%, for the most part thus of more grounded request in North America and China in the final quarter of 2014. In the meantime, request in developing markets including Russia, Latin America and India demonstrated lower utilization in the final quarter of 2014 and therefore missed desires for the whole 2014 gauge.

In the main portion of 2015, worldwide aluminum request ascended by 6.3% to 28.6 million tons subsequently of more grounded request in North America and the EU. Inside the BRIC economies, the development of Indian request has been a key giver to development.

Interest for aluminum in North America enhanced by 5.6% in examination with 2014. Insights from the Aluminum Association show that the year-to-date new factory orders list expanded by 5.8% in the main portion of this current year, while shipments of aluminum expelled items by U.S. what’s more, Canadian makers expanded by 9.0%. Aluminum request in Europe developed by 2.3% year-on-year.

Turkey, Italy, France and Germany speak to the key development markets, separately expanding utilization by 6.1%, 2.6%, 2.4% and 1.1%.

Barring China, essential aluminum utilization in Asia expanded by 1.3% in 1H 2015 contrasted with a similar period in 2014.

On the negative side, Japan’s mechanical yield diminished in May by 4% YoY as a stoppage in the creation of transport hardware and autos debilitated the recuperation. Mechanical generation in the Republic of Korea diminished by 2.8% YoY and 1.3% month-on-month in May. Car generation in South Korea fell by 3.3% YoY in January-May 2015. Thus, South Korea’s essential aluminum utilization development eased back to 2.4% in 1H 2015. China’s essential aluminum evident utilization was 14.6 million tons in 1H 2015, up by 10.4% YoY. Chinese GDP development on a yearly premise was superior to anything expected, achieving 7%.

Worldwide aluminum request development in 2015 is required to be 6% achieving 58 million tons.

Interest for aluminum frame the carmakers is relied upon to develop by 7% in 2015 as auto deals joined with the aluminum content in autos rising altogether. Automakers expended a record measure of aluminum a year ago as diving costs and mechanical leaps forward made it a suitable other option to steel.

Worldly dive in oil cost will make extra interest for autos as per the US showcase measurements, in January 2015 deals expanded by almost 14% and over portion of offers included extravagant pickups and game utility vehicles.

Aluminum profile is made of the aluminum stick that forms different shapes of aluminum materials through different degrees of hot melt, extrusion. Aluminum profiles are widely used, usually in construction, home improvement, industry, etc. So, how much aluminum profile is? Do not worry. As below, I will introduce you aluminum prices and some knowledge about aluminum.

Characteristics of aluminum profile

1. Corrosion resistance

Aluminum density is only 2.7g/cm3, which is 1/3 of the density of steel, copper or brass (7.83g/cm3, 8.93g/cm3). Aluminum can show excellent corrosion resistance in most environmental conditions, including in air, water (or brine), petro chemistry and many other chemical systems.

2. Electrical conductivity

Aluminum profiles are often used because of their excellent electrical conductivity. On the basis of equal weight, the conductivity of aluminum is nearly two times of that of copper.

3. Thermal conductivity

The thermal conductivity of Aluminum Alloy is about 50-60% of copper, which is favorable to the manufacture of heat exchanger, evaporator, heating appliances, cooking utensils, and the cylinder head and radiator of car.

4. Non-ferromagnetism

Aluminum is non-ferromagnetic, which is a significant feature for the electrical and electronic industries. Aluminum profiles are not self-inflammable, which is important for applications involving handling or exposure to flammable and explosive materials.

5. Machinable property

Machinable property of aluminum profiles is excellent. Machinable property change considerably in various wrought aluminum alloys and cast aluminum alloys, as well as in the various conditions after the output of these alloys, , which requires special machine tools or technology.

6. Formability

The allowable deformation is dominated by specific tensile strength, yield strength, ductility and the corresponding work hardening rate.

7. Recycling

Aluminum has high level of recovery. In addition, the characteristics of recycled aluminum are hardly different from primary aluminum.

Specification about Aluminum profile

Specifications about Aluminum alloy doors and windows profile are: 35-series, 38-series of, 40-series, 60-series, 70-serie, etc. The so-called 35, 38…… , refers to width of the aluminum alloy profile main frame is 35 mm, 38 mm……. Balcony closure usually uses 70-series or 90-series, and if less than 70, the strength is hard to guarantee.

Aluminum prices

Aluminum production process mainly three processes including casting, extrusion and coloring (coloring mainly includes: oxidation, electrophoresis coating, fluorine carbon coating, wood grain transfer etc.) the color in general are silver white, black, bronze, gold, etc. Aluminum prices are different from one to another. Generally speaking, they are mainly affected by some main factors, such as types, use, brands. Generally, Aluminum prices are tens of thousands, and the price range is 14000 – 50000 Yuan per ton.

Note: this price is for reference only! Because different regions, of course, prices will vary. For more information about the price, please be subject to the local dealer!

The non-ferrous metals industry’s monthly prosperity index report was released in Octorber,2016, which was made up by the China nonferrous metals industry association, China academy of economic trends of the Economic Daily and China economic monitoring center of the National Bureau of statistics. The report showed that the prosperity index of non-ferrous metals industry was 27.6. Compared with last month, it increased by 2.2, rising to the upper edge of a “rather cold” area. The growth has expanded month by month since the third quarter, and the whole industry presents a positive trend.

At the same time, the ex-factory price has risen firstly since 2012. Because of this, the total profit of non-ferrous metals industry increase dramatically, and the profit rate gets a great improvement compared to the same period of last year. Meanwhile, there is a remarkable achievement in terms of scientific and technological innovation, transformation and upgrading and the green development. However, in addition to the influence of the rebound in price, sales status has not been improved obviously; the weakness in demand and the pressure of excess capacity are still high.

The overall recovery of the industry

In October, 2016, China Economy non-ferrous metals industry prosperity index increases 2.2 to 27.6 compared with last month, and the leading synthetic index is 82.5, rising by 1.9 compared with last month. “Since this year, both the leading synthetic index and the prosperity index are growing up, especially the prosperity index has soared in “cold area” and the industry presents a positive trend. “ The vice secretary-general of China non-ferrous industry Wang Huajun analyses it. And he estimates that the non-ferrous metals industry will show a stable recovery tendency in a short term.

According to the global economic environment, the global economy will remain a moderate growth in the fourth quarter in 2016; American economy has developed rapidly; European economy maintains the slow growth. Although it is still in the weak range in general, the recovery of emerging economies tends to pick up. In terms of domestic economy, the national economy runs smoothly, which is better than expectation. Commodity prices continue to rise and the supply and demand of the domestic market present positive changes. Moreover, RMB devaluation becomes the impetus for the export growth of the non-ferrous metals industry and also stimulates the export activities. The non-ferrous metals’ allied industries recover distinctly and the supply-demand relationship improved significantly. ( A Chinese aluminum profiles supplier, Shenghai Aluminum Co., Ltd translated)

Aluminum and alumina producers

Chinese government has taken a tough stance in environmental protection inspections since the beginning of 2016. Domestic aluminum and alumina producers are mostly large-size producers equipped with environmental protection facilities, and so they have suffered little impact from the inspections, except one aluminum producer in central China. The producer was requested to shut down its captive power plant and to source electricity from power plant directly in the previous round of inspections.

SMM survey finds that one alumina producer in Chongqing has been requested to cut alumina capacity by 350,000 tonnes for environmental upgrading after excessive discharge of pollutants. The producer is now running at 350,000-tonne alumina capacities, with output all for its aluminum production use. So far, it is unknown for offline capacities to go back to normal.

Aluminum processing producers 

Domestic aluminum processing producers are suffering a big impact from environmental protection inspections, SMM survey finds. The stricter inspections led to closures of aluminum billet producers in Inn Mongolia’s Huolinhe, switching from coal to natural gas at copper plate/strip, sheet and foil producers in Gongyi, and production halts at small and medium coal-fired aluminum extrusion producers in Hebei.

In recent days, aluminum processing producers have been hit by the inspections in Foshan, Guangdong. This is not the first inspections on local producers in the region, and the local government has started inspections on aluminum extrusion producers since 2014. In accordance with Air Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan on Aluminum Extrusion Producers in Foshan in 2014, the local government closed 37 producers in Nanhai District, and completed rectification work on 94 producers.

Since 2016, environmental protection inspection teams sent by China’s central government arrived in the region, and the local government stepped up efforts to push for the inspections. Foshan’s government this April introduced the Plan for Promoting Air Pollution Prevention and Control Action on Aluminum Extrusion Producers in 2016-2017. According to the plan, a new round of inspections would be carried on all 157 aluminum extrusion producers in the region, and all producers would be requested to complete clean energy upgrading before late June 2017, or they would be shut down. Currently, 51 producers in Nanhai have completed the upgrading, and another 75 producers will finish the overhaul by late October.

Some small and medium-size producers have closed their smelting furnaces for severe energy pollutions, shifting raw material from aluminum ingot to aluminum billet. Processing fees for aluminum billet, which has already been tight, skyrocketed in the region after the shift, and trading for aluminum ingot was sluggish as a result, reversing the gap between Guangdong and Shanghai.

SMM believes that the impact from environmental protection inspections will be a typical regional one, and will be limited on the overall industrial chain. Hence, the impact on price will be small in all price influential factors. Attention should be paid more to whether or not producers violating the rules will upgrade their units to meet requirements, so as to give more consideration to environment and future generations than costs and profits.
