China's world aluminium fabrication and export center

China's aluminum export volume is increasing year by year. In 2021, China's total aluminum export volume increased by 161% compared with 2012, while the total import volume in 2021 decreased by about 3% compared with 2012. It is worth mentioning that in 2021, China's aluminum foil export volume will be 1335.246kt, an increase of 114.4% over the 2012 export volume of 622.752kt. China has become a major exporter of aluminum foil. China is also a net exporter of other aluminum products. In 2021, the export volume of China's aluminum sheet and strip will be 2959.417kt, which is more than 9 times that of the imported plate and strip of 328.441kt. The export volume of extruded pipes, rods and profiles is also rising, but at a slower rate. The export volume in 2021 will be 1089.273kt, which is only 1.7% higher than the export volume of 934.425kt in 2012, while the import volume will drop from 110.889kt in 2012. 5.509kt by 2021, although the absolute value of the decline is not large, it shows that China will no longer need to import extrusion materials in the future, whether it is small-sized materials or unparalleled profiles with a cross-section of 1000mm×400mm can be mass-produced, Meet the needs.

As of 2021, China has built and is building about 190 (sets) of aluminum extrusion presses with an extrusion force ≥ 45MN, of which about 170 (sets) were built in the past 10 years, accounting for about 100% of the total. 89.5% of the project; one 200MN and two 225MN super aluminum extrusion machines were designed and manufactured in the past 5 years; the unparalleled 800MN aluminum forging machine was designed and manufactured by China Second Heavy Machinery Group Corporation.

There are about 26 (1+3) type, (1+4) type, (1+5) type, (1+1+4) type hot rolling lines that have been built or are under construction in China, of which more than 90% are Built within the last 10 years.

In the past 10 years, China has also completed the following key projects: (1+1) 8 hot roughing and finishing production lines for aluminum strips; 2 (1+3) aluminum strip Hazelett continuous casting and rolling production lines; There are 8 continuous rolling production lines, all of which are imported high-end equipment; 4 aerospace aluminum strip T77 processing production lines, which is also the country with the largest number of such production lines in the world; 6 aluminum alloy thick plate production enterprises have been put into production, except 1 foreign investment Except for enterprises, all others are Chinese-funded enterprises. In addition, there are 10 aluminum alloy thick plate pre-stretching machines in China. Except for 1 second-hand equipment imported earlier, the others have been put into production within 10 years.
