Recently, the Nonferrous Metals Industry Association and the Department of Raw Materials Industry of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology organized a seminar on expanding aluminum applications. Representatives from China Automobile Industry Association and China Formwork Scaffolding Association participated in the meeting.
The meeting summarized the achievements, experience and shortcomings of the expansion of aluminum applications, and analyzed the potential of aluminum consumption and the key directions for expanding applications. Participants believe that aluminum has excellent characteristics such as light weight, high strength, easy processing and molding, corrosion resistance, and recyclability. It has great consumption potential, but it still faces quality needs to be optimized and improved, high application costs, unsound standards and specifications, and inadequate supply and demand. In the next step, we should promote the organic combination of expanding domestic demand and deepening supply-side structural reforms, adhere to technological innovation and business model innovation, give full play to the advantages of aluminum’s structural and functional integration characteristics, and focus on the major needs of national economic development and focus on key areas. , Key products, build upstream and downstream cooperation platforms, improve product standards and design specifications, develop service-oriented manufacturing, continuously improve the supply of high-end aluminum materials, and fully tap aluminum in transportation, packaging containers, mechanical equipment, building structures, emergency rescue, etc. Consumption potential in the field, reduce application costs, increase promotion and publicity, form a dynamic balance of demand-driven supply and supply-created demand, and promote the high-quality development of the aluminum industry.
