The announcement of this news marks a new breakthrough in China's lightweight technology for NEVs, injecting new vitality into the rapid development of the NEV industry.

It is reported that the project aims to further enhance the lightweight level of NEV auto bodies by developing and applying large and complex thin-walled integrated die-cast magnesium alloy structural components, thereby improving the driving range and overall performance of vehicles. Magnesium alloy, as an important lightweight material, has advantages such as high strength, good heat dissipation, and excellent shock and vibration resistance, making it an ideal choice for achieving automotive lightweighting. However, due to its high processing difficulty and stringent requirements for connection and corrosion resistance, the application of magnesium alloy in the automotive field has been limited. The approval of this project will strongly promote the application process of magnesium alloy in the NEV field, bringing new development opportunities to the industry.

Moving forward, the project team will conduct in-depth research on the development and application of large and complex thin-walled integrated die-cast magnesium alloy structural components for NEV auto bodies. Leveraging Boao Magnesium-Aluminum's extensive experience in R&D and production of magnesium alloy products, combined with Chongqing University's scientific research capabilities and Chongqing Seres NEV Design Institute Co., Ltd.'s advantageous position in the NEV industry, the team will jointly tackle technical challenges and promote the widespread application of magnesium alloy in the NEV field.

SMM Weekly Magnesium Report: Social Inventory Up 3.8% MoM, Speculative Sentiment Rises in Shaanxi

[SMM Weekly Magnesium Inventory Flash Report] This week, social inventory increased by 3.8% month-on-month, showing a slight inventory accumulation trend overall. Looking at different regions, inventories in Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Tianjin Port have all accumulated to varying degrees. In the Shaanxi region, speculative sentiment has strengthened, with some traders making small purchases at low prices and hoarding goods to wait and see the after-market. In the Shanxi region, the purchased goods of some traders have gradually flowed into warehouses. As for Tianjin Port, export orders have remained sluggish, and since the document submission deadline has not yet arrived, inventory reduction through export sales has been hindered, leading to inventory backlog. Overall, the digestion of circulating goods has been slow, and inventory pressure may persist.

Magnesium Inventories Decline as Smelters Shut Down for Maintenance, Regional Disparities Evident

[SMM Weekly Magnesium Inventory Flash Report] This week, manufacturers' inventory decreased slightly by 0.95% compared to the previous week, and the domestic social inventory of magnesium ingots also declined slightly. Multiple smelters in the main production areas have concentrated on shutdown for maintenance, and the contraction of overall market supply has supported inventory reduction; however, regional differentiation is significant. Only a few enterprises in Fugu have actively cleared inventory and shipped goods, driving continuous accumulation of factory inventory in the Shaanxi region; in contrast, magnesium enterprises in Ningxia have a strong willingness to ship goods, with a prominent decline in local manufacturers' inventory, forming a sharp contrast in inventory trends between the two regions.

Magnesium Production Declines 7.41% MoM as Plants Enter Maintenance Cycle, Output Expected to Further Contract

[SMM Weekly Magnesium Production Flash Report] From July 3 to July 9, the weekly production of the national sample magnesium plants was 23,419 tons, with a weekly operating rate of 76.83%, down 7.41% month-on-month. According to the survey, this week, multiple primary magnesium smelting enterprises have entered the shutdown and maintenance cycle, and the overall operating rate of the industry has significantly declined. A magnesium plant in Shanxi completed production and produced magnesium ingots last week, but the overall production reduction scale of the industry far exceeded the contribution of new production capacity, and the total production of primary magnesium continued to decline. The planned resumption time of enterprises undergoing centralized maintenance in Shaanxi during this round is mostly concentrated in mid-to-late July, and some manufacturers said that the resumption node will be flexibly adjusted according to the magnesium price market, and it is expected that the domestic primary magnesium output will continue to contract next week.
