Maxion Wheels has introduced Maxion C-GUARD, a proprietary ceramic surface treatment for its latest range of forged aluminium truck wheels. The technology forms a permanent molecular bond with the wheel surface, improving resistance to corrosion, physical wear, chemicals and UV exposure. Its hydrophobic and oleophobic properties are designed to reduce the adhesion of brake dust, road salt, grease and mud, helping lower cleaning and maintenance requirements. The new forged aluminium wheel range will be produced at Maxion's new plant in Manisa, Türkiye, with C-GUARD, brushed and polished finish options.

China's Cast Aluminum Alloy Ingots Inventory Rises, Ending 10-Week Destocking Trend

[SMM Aluminum Alloy Flash] This week, China's social inventory of cast aluminum alloy ingots rose to 25,500 mt, up 1,500 mt WoW, ending ten consecutive weeks of destocking and turning to inventory buildup. The market was still in the high-temperature off-season, with weak downstream demand and sluggish shipments; meanwhile, the spot-futures price spread weakened during the week and futures remained at a premium, boosting spot-futures traders' willingness to buy on dips and driving warehouse inflows higher. Given that demand has yet to recover visibly and spot-futures buying has increased only temporarily, social inventory is still expected to face some inventory buildup pressure in the near term, with inventory likely to continue edging up thereafter.
