On the occasion of the National Conference, Ge Honglin, member of the Standing Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and Secretary of the Party Committee of the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association, put forward some of his views on the application of aluminum in an interview with reporters.

Secretary Ge Honglin believes that with the transformation of public consumption concepts, the improvement of consumption levels, and the acceleration of industrialization, there will be great breakthroughs in the application fields with significant social benefits in the aluminum industry, including the following areas:

One is the civil field. The market prospects for aluminum furniture, aluminum lunch boxes, aluminum foil paper pumps, aluminum alloy trays, wine seal packaging, aluminum alloy aerosol cans, and aluminum oil storage tanks are very promising.

The second is the social public sphere. Aluminum alloy bridges and aluminum alloy flood walls are constantly being recognized. Although the amount is not large, it has obvious social benefits.

The third is the power sector. At present, China's cable field is still dominated by copper cables. The proportion of aluminum cables is only about 2%. Aluminum wires and cables can be used in low-voltage power cables. In addition, steel (stainless steel) aluminum composite and titanium aluminum composite have been developed in China. , Aluminum aluminum composite board series products, are used in power, electronics, construction and other industries.

The fourth is the field of construction. At present, the application rate of aluminum alloy formwork in China has increased from less than 1% to more than 20%, and there is still room for growth. The application of aluminum alloy building templates and aluminum alloy enclosures should continue to be expanded.

Fifth, emerging products and applications. For example, aluminum-air battery, aluminum alloy for seawater desalination, etc.

Secretary Ge Honglin believes that China's aluminum application field still has great potential, but the current aluminum application level in China has a certain gap with the developed countries in terms of per capita consumption and consumption structure. The aluminum industry is facing competition in other fields in the substitution of other materials . Therefore, the aluminum industry should adhere to the drive of innovation, especially key basic materials, advanced basic processes, industrial technology foundation, core basic components, etc. These are still the most prominent shortcomings that restrict the development of the industry. In addition, we must pay attention to strengthening publicity and guidance, improving product quality, and facing the downward pressure of the economy, the industry must continue to expand the application as a starting point, and strive to launch a group of small and medium-sized enterprises that follow the development path of "specialization, precision, specialty, and new" , Strive to take the lead in global industrial strategic reorganization and integration.
