Aluminium applications
2024-09-11
Over the past fifty years, aluminium profiles and aluminium alloys have been widely used in various fields, especially in the construction, transportation and packaging industries, which generally account for about 60% of the total aluminium consumption.
(1)In the construction industry, the stability of aluminium in air and the excellent appearance of anodized aluminium make it widely used in aluminium alloy windows and doors, aluminium composite tubes, decorative panels and curtain walls. Customized aluminium product have become a trend.
(2)In the transport industry, in order to reduce weight and energy consumption, aluminium profiles and aluminium alloys are used in large quantities in automobiles, railways, aircrafts and ships, and have been used more in the aerospace field in recent years.
(3)in the industrial field, industrial aluminium profiles in the electrical and electronic, household appliances (refrigerators, air conditioners), daily-use hardware and other aspects of the amount of use and the use of more and more broad prospects. Common aluminium extrusion housings, heat sinks and aluminium parts are available.
China is the world's largest aluminium consumer, from the consumption of geographical point of view, South China, East China is the main domestic aluminium consumption area, and some electrolytic Aluminium Production province is also becoming a new aluminium consumption area, Foshan gathered a lot ofaluminium profile manufacturers. Although the growth rate of aluminium consumption has weakened in recent years due to the slowdown of China's economic growth, the overall growth of domestic aluminium consumption can still be expected under the pattern of stable demand in various fields and increasingly fierce competition for material substitution.
