SHFE Cast Aluminum Alloy Warrants Decrease by 576 mt to 37,355 mt on June 12

[ADC12 Daily Price Review: Aluminum Alloy Most-Traded Contract Opens with a Plunge, Lacks Momentum for a Rebound, and Maintains a Sideways Tug-of-War] Under the dual effects of cost support and weak demand, the short-term ADC12 price is expected to continue to move sideways. The market is monitoring the subsequent recovery of end-use demand and changes in raw material prices.

Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology unveiled the list of selected typical cases for artificial intelligence applications in 2025. Yunnan Aluminum’s “Green Aluminum Yunhui Jian: AI-Empowered Decision-Making and Intelligent Control Application for Aluminum Electrolysis” was honored on the list. The Green Aluminum Yunhui Jian project closely focused on the core stages of aluminum production, achieving three major core applications: visualization of abnormalities in the furnace cavity shape, analysis and evaluation of cell condition curve anomalies, and process regulation of operating conditions. By deeply integrating AI models with the process control system, the project significantly improved the accuracy of cell condition identification, the foresight of risk judgment, and the capability for coordinated parameter regulation. This transformation has driven the shift in management and control mode from a reliance on expert experience to data- and model-driven assisted decision-making, effectively enhancing the operational stability of electrolytic cells and improving energy conservation and consumption reduction. Looking ahead, Yunnan Aluminum will further deepen the integrated innovation of artificial intelligence across the entire aluminum electrolysis production process and accelerate the promotion and application of mature technologies across multiple production sites.

Guangdong Diwei Metal Products Co., Ltd. plans to undertake a construction project with an annual output of 50,000 mt of aluminum extrusions and 5,000 mt of powder coatings. The project is currently in the public notice stage for proposed approval. The total investment amounts to 500 million yuan. Upon completion, it will achieve the following capacities: 50,000 mt of aluminum extrusions (all powder-coated, of which 15,000 mt will be further processed into wood-grain aluminum extrusions); 5,000 mt of powder coatings (comprising 2,500 mt of fluorocarbon powder coatings and 2,500 mt of conventional powder coatings); in addition, 120 mt of small-sized painted aluminum extrusions will be produced.
