Japan, Russia and Turkey submitted notifications to the WTO concerning the list of compensation for the tariffs imposed by the United States on imports of steel and aluminum. Russia submitted a list of compensation totaling $538 million, while Japan and Turkey's lists totaled $440 million and $267 million respectively. The European Union, China and India earlier submitted the relevant compensation list, totaling 1.6 billion, 612 million and 165 million U.S. dollars respectively.
For aluminum, although there is a trend of improvement in supply and demand, but even taking into account the impact of environmental protection and production restrictions, in 2018 the domestic supply and demand of electrolytic aluminum is still in excess of 1.13 million tons. And at present, the aluminum price is under pressure to go down, the low price of electrolytic aluminum shipment attitude is also relatively cold, the stockholder is still intentionally price-holding and selling, the downstream is a low on-demand to take goods, the market transaction atmosphere is very general.
This may be why Zijin Mining, Aluminum Corporation of China are in the larger good stimulus, have appeared slightly higher and lower trend, copper, aluminum future trend is indeed difficult to smooth sailing.
Magnetic levitation vehicles with aluminum and high-speed rail vehicles are basically the same, high-speed rail vehicles are made of aluminum, magnetic levitation train compartments should be made of aluminum, because the lighter the better, the lighter the need to overcome the gravity so that it floats up the repulsive force of the smaller, the less the power to fly, aluminum is the manufacture of the vehicle structure of cost-effective best materials, in addition to the carriages of aluminum, the construction of railroad facilities also requires a considerable amount of construction aluminum, carriages Interior decoration, air conditioning and ventilation systems are also mainly made of aluminum, some vehicles are floated by permanent magnetic force, if floated by superconducting magnetic field, it requires a high purity aluminum wire system to transport the current. Each car needs to purchase 11.5t aluminum, railroad facilities construction of aluminum can be 45t/km Converse. 4N6 high-purity aluminum superconducting temperature of 4.2x10-3K, 99.5% industrial pure aluminum for 4.0x10-3K.
Commonly used deformed aluminum alloys for car body structure are: 5005-0 plate, 5005-H14 plate, 5005-H18 plate, 5052-0 plate, 5083-0 plate, 5083-H112 profile, 6061-T6 profile, 6N01-T5 profile, 6063-T5 profile, 7N01-T4 plate, 7N01-T5 profile, 7003-T5 profile. 6N01-T5 profile, 6N01-T4 plate, 7N01-T5 profile, 7003-T5 profile. 6N01 and 7N01 are Japanese alloys, N is the abbreviation of Nippon.
China vehicle factory in the introduction of technology on the basis of digestion and absorption, in the vehicle design and manufacture of a lot of innovation, the formation of a Chinese characteristics of the aluminum alloy manufacturing technology, but the material production enterprises and colleges and universities, scientific research institutes and did not research and development of performance than the 6N01 and 7N01 alloy is more than the best of the new aluminum alloy car, which is to the Chinese materials and metallurgical workers to put forward the challenge of the development of new aluminum alloys to adapt to the faster, more efficient, and more effective. It is necessary to develop new aluminum alloy to meet the needs of faster, safer, more comfortable, more environmentally friendly vehicle manufacturing, improve the competitiveness of the magnetic levitation railroad in the international market, and accelerate the construction of the "Belt and Road".
