Technological Innovation promotes the Transformation and upgrading of magnesium Alloy Industry

Published: Mar 1, 2022 10:17

On February 17, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province issued the "New Technology Plan" of the 14th five-year Plan of Yuncheng City. The plan proposes that by the end of the 14th five-year Plan, we should focus on solving scientific problems and industrial and technological bottlenecks in the field of metal materials such as magnesium alloys, and strive to improve the basic capacity and modernization level of the new aluminum-magnesium alloy and non-ferrous metals industry. support the construction of the downstream industrial chain of aluminum and magnesium alloy materials, and create a research and development ground for the high-end materials industry.

The plan points out that breakthroughs have been made in key common technologies, such as the development of degradable magnesium alloy materials, the integration of the shape and properties of large magnesium alloy components, and the solid-liquid forming of complex magnesium alloy components. strive to form a new magnesium alloy industrial cluster and industrial belt with national competitive advantages. Further increase the research and development of new magnesium alloy materials, increase the variety of magnesium alloy deep processing products, broaden the magnesium alloy application market, promote the increase of sales income of magnesium alloy deep processing products, and realize the transformation and upgrading of magnesium alloy industry.

The plan proposes that the key task is to combine the characteristics of relevant enterprises and institutions in Yuncheng, in magnesium alloy and its composite technology, such as large specification and high strength rare earth magnesium alloy, high precision and high forming aluminum magnesium alloy, magnesium alloy multi-root casting technology and other fields, from the key core technology to carry out key breakthroughs. Relying on the key enterprises in the field of magnesium alloys in Yuncheng, we will focus on promoting the research and development of key technologies such as large-scale high-strength rare earth magnesium alloys, high-precision high-forming aluminum-magnesium alloys, magnesium-lithium alloy casting, etc., accelerate the research and development and industrialization of magnesium hydroxide hydrogen storage technology, achieve breakthroughs in the development of new aluminum-magnesium materials, and promote the promotion of high-performance aluminum-magnesium alloy preparation technology and complete sets of equipment at home and abroad. Expand the application of aluminum-magnesium alloy deeply processed products in aerospace, electronic information, military and other fields, and improve the modernization level of aluminum-magnesium industry.

The plan is clear and focuses on achieving breakthroughs in the fields of special magnesium alloy materials, such as high-strength and heat-resistant magnesium alloys, high-performance rare earth magnesium alloys, high plastic magnesium-lithium alloys and so on. On the basis of existing magnesium alloy applications, we will continue to expand the application market of magnesium alloy deeply processed products, continue to take 3C electronics, aerospace, military industry and rail transit applications as the main application markets, and give full play to the performance advantages of magnesium and magnesium alloys. increase the application market of new magnesium and magnesium alloys. Focus on the development of magnesium alloy materials for military industry, magnesium alloy extruded profiles for high-speed rail and subway, high-strength magnesium alloys for aerospace, large-size complex castings, high-strength and heat-resistant magnesium alloy large-size extruded profiles / forgings, 3C products magnesium alloy precision die castings, large coil weight, low cost, high formability magnesium alloy plate and strip, automotive lightweight magnesium alloy precision die castings, forged magnesium alloy wheels and other innovative products, Continuously expand the application field of magnesium alloy, make enterprises gradually change from the production of primary raw materials to the production of high-tech and high-tech products, and constantly improve the added value of the products.

Silicon Metal Market Review for January and Outlook for February
In January, the silicon metal market experienced a relatively loose supply-demand balance, with a theoretical inventory buildup of approximately 30,000 mt. In February, both supply and demand contracted simultaneously, and the market is expected to show a tight balance or minor destocking. The current high industry inventory still requires time to be digested, and the sustainability of destocking remains a key variable affecting price trends and market sentiment.

A plant in northern China is calling for bids for indium ingots and bismuth ingots
SMM, February 6 - According to SMM’s investigation of market information, a large smelter in northern China began public bidding for a certain quantity of indium ingots and bismuth ingots starting yesterday. Market sources indicate that the starting price for these indium ingots exceeds 4,000 yuan per kilogram, while the starting price for bismuth ingots is above 150,000 yuan per ton. The bidding results are expected to be announced before the Spring Festival. Market participants note that, given the clear trend of sluggish trading activity ahead of the Spring Festival, the timing of this bidding is not ideal. However, the relatively favorable starting prices have generated considerable market anticipation for the outcome of the bidding.
