SHANGHAI, Nov.17 (SMM)-Wen Xianjun, Vice director of China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association (CNIA) says, currently what concerns aluminium industry most is the over rising price of raw materials. It is calculated than during first ten months this year, domestic average cost of electrolytic aluminium reaches 15,000 yuan per tonne, and keeps to rising to 16,000 yuan in November, which greatly squeezes profits of electrolytic aluminium enterprises. With regard to this issue, CNIA will continue to take strategy of “combination of dredging and blocking” to facilitate supply-side reform of electrolytic aluminium, saying on one hand to control newly-increased capacity strictly, on the other hand to promote aluminium application actively.

[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.
