SHANGHAI, May 17 (SMM) – Aluminum industry in China may face widespread reshuffling and more relevant policies might be released in the second half of this year after the major three aluminum producing provinces recently issued policies to crack down on illegal aluminum projects, CFi.CN reported.

Shandong, Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang have issued documents to close illegal aluminum capacity.

As of February 2017, global primary aluminum supply rose 11.1% year-on-year, while demand grew 11.5%, leaving a supply deficit of nearly 4,000 tonnes, CFi.CN added.

[SMM News Flash] According to reports, prototype samples of the new distributed electric drive rear subframe product at ChenZhi Lightweight's Ya'an base completed the first round of bundled delivery. The trial production of the new product took only from March 5, when the molds arrived at the plant, to March 10, when the first batch of products was delivered. Every process, from core making and casting to detection, was carried out manually. This verified the process stability of the fully manual production model in terms of both schedule and quality, and accumulated valuable experience for subsequent upgrading of the post-processing unit and large-scale production.
