Aluminium Show Converges to Boost Automotive Lightweightness and Consumer Electronics

In 2016, it was an extraordinary year for the Chinese aluminum industry. Under the steady promotion of the Party Central Committee and the State Council’s supply-side structural reforms, the aluminum smelting industry (including alumina, electrolytic aluminum, recycled aluminum, etc.) that has been losing money for several years has been profitable and has played an important role in improving the industry’s efficiency. The field turned beautiful. In addition, the “13th Five-Year Plan” development plan of the non-ferrous metal industry was formally introduced in October 2016. Many areas involved aluminum, which means that the aluminum industry will face more development opportunities during the “13th Five-Year Plan” period. Based on a number of positives, 2017 China International Aluminum Industry Exhibition takes “Technology Innovation Future” as the biggest highlight and focuses on the core technologies and key issues of aluminum applications in emerging fields such as automotive lightweighting and consumer electronics to jointly discuss the lightweighting of automobiles. Overall solution.

In 2016, as the annual event of the aluminum industry, the exhibition area of ​​the 12th China International Aluminum Industry Exhibition reached 35,000 square meters, and the number of exhibitors reached 400, through the concentrated display of new properties, new technologies, new trends and new The application provided a feast for the aluminum industry to 19,530 professional visitors from 90 countries and regions, which witnessed the development of the aluminum industry in China and the world. During the exhibition, the organizer of the Association of Automobile Industry held the "Seminar on Key Technologies and Forming of Automotive Aluminum Parts" and discussed with nearly 500 industry experts from OEMs and parts companies. In the same period, the exhibition site released the “Aluminum White Paper for Consumer Electronics Industry in China (2016)” for aluminum used in consumer electronics. Through the analysis of the aluminum consumption situation of China’s consumer electronics benchmarking companies in recent years, the development status and prospects of China’s consumer electronics industry were analyzed. , Customer requirements, technical specifications, and procurement behavior of aluminum materials, aluminum alloy structural parts and finished aluminum products, etc., provide useful reference for aluminum processing companies and aluminum supply companies to expand and lay out to the consumer electronics industry. Help, this is the industry's first white paper.

As an important base metal, the aluminum industry has always been the eye of the non-ferrous metal industry and even the Chinese economy. In recent years, while maintaining the traditional advantages of construction, rail transit, and packaging, aluminum has also been increasingly favored by emerging consumer industries such as consumer electronics and new energy vehicles, and has become an indispensable material for production and living. In particular, with the rapid and high-level development of the automotive industry, aluminum is increasingly being used in the manufacture of finished automobiles and parts and components. It has played an important role in the lightweight process of automobiles, and has made energy saving and emission reduction businesses. Actively contribute. Experiments have shown that 50%-60% by weight of aluminum alloy can replace iron and steel to achieve the same performance. Another advantage of aluminum body is to effectively reduce vehicle emissions, improve combustion efficiency, and achieve energy conservation and emission reduction. The data shows that if the vehicle's vehicle weight is reduced by 10%, the fuel efficiency can be increased by 6%-8%; when the vehicle's curb weight is reduced by 100kg, the fuel consumption per 100km can be reduced by 0.3-0.6L; the weight of the vehicle can be reduced by 1%, and the fuel consumption can be reduced by 0.7%. %. It can be said that aluminum has become the main direction for the development of automotive materials, and the large area application of aluminum is an important indicator of the lightweight design and manufacturing of automobiles. At present, as long as we talk about car lightweight technology, body weight loss is bound to be an open topic. It is reported that the automotive lightweight connection technology and overall solution will become one of the biggest highlights of the 2017 Aluminum Industry Exhibition.

The 2017 China International Aluminium Industry Exhibition will arrive at the Shanghai New International Expo Center on July 19-21. The Aluminum Industry Exhibition, which showcases new processes, new technologies and new products, has always stood with the industry to build a one-stop service platform for exhibitors and application industries. The exhibition will focus on the automotive lightweight and consumer electronics aluminum field, in-depth exploration of aluminum processing technology welding technology, connection technology and other aluminum hot applications and advanced processing technology. At that time, hundreds of aluminum exhibitors from many countries and regions, including China, will fully display the entire industrial chain of aluminum industry including raw materials, semi-finished products, applied finished products, and related mechanical equipment and auxiliary materials.

In 2017, to lead the car lightweight to highlight the highlights, through the aluminum industry to display the entire industry chain, thereby helping the aluminum industry to achieve great development, "the future of technological innovation", will give China Aluminum Industry will bring new opportunities and future!
