According to the 2019 emergency emission reduction measures, the author believes that environmental protection has not weakened in 2019, and it will affect production in an irregular period in autumn and winter. Environmental protection will have more frequent interventions in production, so the future will be especially needed in September and December. Taking into account the impact of environmental protection on supply, during this period, aluminum prices will increase volatility due to environmental factors, and aluminum prices may have a wave in October.In terms of alumina, alumina prices have basically bottomed out. According to statistics, it is difficult for alumina plants to lose money for a long time. In 2019, there is a small excess of alumina, but if the impact of heavy pollution on production is taken into account, it is likely that excess alumina will shrink or not. This is a positive factor for alumina prices. At the same time, with the revision of the emergency plan for heavy pollution weather this year, the environmental protection requirements for aluminum enterprises are getting higher and higher, and aluminum enterprises, especially alumina enterprises, face some challenges. In terms of electrolytic aluminum, there was a shortage of electrolytic aluminum in the first half of 2019, and the inventory was quickly removed. In the second half of 2019, electrolytic aluminum will still be in short supply, and inventory will continue to decline. The inventory quantity is conservatively estimated to be less than 800,000 tons. From the perspective of the balance of supply and demand throughout the year, electrolytic aluminum is expected to be short of 1 million to 1.25 million tons. In the case of alumina near the bottom, the impact of cost collapse on the price of electrolytic aluminum will become smaller. In the context of supply shortages, electrolytic aluminum plants have a rising demand for profits, supporting the price of electrolytic aluminum to strengthen.

General Manager Yuan Anzhi, deputy general manager and heads of various departments attended the meeting. The meeting summarized the development of lean management in August, arranged the deployment of key tasks in September, and proposed specific solutions to the problems in the lean management work. The meeting requires all employees to be united, strictly implement various rules and regulations such as production safety, and strengthen the responsibility of work and put an end to the phenomenon of “pushing and smashing”. All members must work together to form a joint effort to promote lean production.
Read MoreGlobal aluminium production fell in June, as the worldwide total of smelted primary aluminium last month came to 5.25 million metric tons according to numbers released by the International Aluminum Institute on Monday. Per the Institute’s numbers, June’s production was down on the month by 180 thousand metric tons on the month and 80 thousand metric tons on the year. The world’s top-producing country was the People’s Republic of China, turning out 2.96 million metric tons last month. China’s total was down on the year from last June’s production of 3.05 million metric tons. Aside from China, Asian producers combined to smelt 360 thousand metric tons of primary aluminium in June, down by 8 thousand metric tons on the year. Producers from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) teamed up to produce 449 thousand metric tons of primary aluminium, a rise on the year from last year’s total of 437 thousand metric tons. Aluminium production was up in the Western Hemisphere, with North American producers increasing production by 11 thousand metric tons on the year to 314 thousand metric tons, while South American producers combined to smelt 95 thousand metric tons of aluminium last month, up on the year by 7 thousand metric tons. Production by African producers fell slightly, dropping from 140 thousand metric tons in June 2018 to 135 thousand metric tons last month.

Except for the implementation of their specific standards for individual products, most of the implementation standards are GB/T6892-2006 《General Industrial Aluminum and aluminum alloy extrusion profiles》, the products are mainly used in aerospace, transportation, rail vehicles, electronic appliances, sports equipment, radiators, decoration, electric energy, petrochemical, machinery manufacturing and other industrial fields. (3) GB/T26014-2010 《Non-construction aluminum alloy decorative profiles》 Non-construction aluminum alloy decorative profiles refer to decorative aluminum alloy hot extruded profiles with the main purpose of improving visual effects. If the dimensional deviation of the decorative profile is special, it should be indicated in the contract. If there is no special requirement, it should meet the general level requirements in GB/T14846--2008 《Dimensional deviation of extruded profiles of aluminum and aluminum alloys》. Products are mainly used in vehicle interior and exterior decoration, home appliance accessories, kitchen appliances, electronic appliances, interior decoration, medical equipment, instrumentation, office facilities and other fields. 4) GB/T14846-2008 《Dimensional deviation of extruded profiles of aluminum and aluminum alloys》 Another standard for industrial aluminum alloy profiles is GB/T14846-2008 《Dimensional deviation of extruded profiles of aluminum and aluminum alloys》. However, this standard is only for the extrusion size of industrial aluminum profiles, and only for the size requirements can be produced according to this standard. All other requirements are in accordance with the GB/T6892-2006 standard. (5) Advanced foreign standards Foreign advanced standards are: EU EN12020-2 《6060 and 6063 aluminum and aluminum alloy precision profiles Part 2: Dimensions and shape tolerance》, EN755-2 《aluminum and aluminum alloy rods, tubes, types - mechanical properties》, the United States ANSI H35.2 《American Aluminum Material Dimensional Deviation Standard》and Japan JISH4100 《Aluminum and Aluminum Alloy Extrusion Profile》 and other standards are mainly applicable to some special customers or international large building curtain wall companies in well-known buildings, landmark buildings and foreign engineering supervision. Used in engineering, etc. (6) Enterprise standards If the products produced by the enterprise do not have n...
