Alcoa advanced technology wants to fully enter China

With the growth of China's economy, China has become a global producer, consumer, and exporter of aluminum. The importance and value of aluminum to the national economy and environmental protection have received more and more attention. The 2008 China International Aluminum Industry Exhibition held in Guangzhou recently fully demonstrated this status. As the annual aluminum industry event, the exhibition attracted more than 300 domestic and foreign famous companies including Alcoa and Aluminum Corporation of China. The company's participation.


The information conveyed by this exhibition shows that energy saving and emission reduction and promoting the sustainable development of the industry have become the primary issues that Alcoa focuses on the Chinese market. As the world's leading producer of alumina, electrolytic aluminum and aluminum processing products, Alcoa has more than 100 years of experience and accumulation as a leading company in the industry. At this exhibition, it fully demonstrated its advanced product, technology and service concepts. The sustainable development strategy has always been advocated and implemented.


Of particular concern is that on the Alcoa booth, a new generation of energy-saving and eco-friendly passenger car models jointly developed by Alcoa and Zhengzhou Yutong Bus Co., Ltd. attracted attention. The vehicle is designed to combine the design of aluminum frame structures with advanced manufacturing technologies to significantly reduce passenger car weight while ensuring safety and improving performance, thereby significantly reducing passenger car's greenhouse gas emissions and improving fuel economy. Studies have shown that during the vehicle operating cycle, a vehicle with a weight loss of 1,000 kg can reduce fuel consumption by 4,800 liters and at the same time reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 11.2 tons. Samples of eco-friendly buses are expected to be displayed to the public before the 2008 Olympic Games.


In addition, Alcoa also showcased many of the world's leading aluminum processing products, covering transportation, construction, aerospace and many other areas: its display of forged aluminum alloy wheels, lighter weight and higher strength, can be used during actual use. Reduce the weight of the vehicle, save fuel more effectively, and prolong the service life of tires and brake pads. Compared to traditional steel parts weighing up to 22.7 kg, the weight of aluminum thin-wall door assemblies is reduced by only 10.2 kg. Without affecting the performance and safety of the car, it makes the use more convenient and environmentally friendly. As the creator of aeronautical aluminum, Alcoa has established new performance standards for advanced aviation aluminum, super aluminum alloys and fastening systems. The aluminum alloy products are also widely used on the ARJ21, a new generation of regional passenger aircraft independently developed by China, and promote the development of China's first independent intellectual property rights regional passenger aircraft project with high-performance material products; Alcoa Reynolux pre-coated sheet is based on its plasticity. The excellent coloring process was selected by the Beijing Capital Airport Terminal 3, the Nanjing Olympic Stadium and the National Stadium.
