SHANGHAI, Jun 27 (SMM) – The aluminium ingot social inventories across China’s eight major markets totalled 746,000 mt as of June 27, down 4,000 mt from last Thursday and 176,000 mt from the end of May. The destocking of aluminium ingots slowed down significantly. The decline was still led by Wuxi and Foshan. The outflows from warehouses in Wuxi decreased by 20,000 mt as the impact of the collateral scandal has subsided and as spot trades weakened. The inventory in Gongyi rose due to growing arrivals and poor downstream purchases. SMM will keep a close eye on whether downstream purchasing sentiment will improve.

ChenZhi Lightweight's New Distributed Electric Drive Rear Subframe Product Delivered

[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.
