China is a large country that mainly produces and applies aluminum strip. There are many reasons that determine the price of aluminum strip. Let's talk about the important factors affecting the price of aluminum strip.
1: Alloy content: the prices of various series of aluminum plates are different. Pure aluminum has the lowest price because it does not need to add high-grade alloy, the processing process is simple and arbitrary, while 3003 aluminum plate has a slightly higher price because of the addition of manganese alloy, while 5052.5083 and other aluminum magnesium alloys have an appropriate amount of magnesium alloy, so the price is significantly higher than 1060 pure aluminum plate, 2 series and 7 series add copper alloy and zinc alloy, so the price is higher.
2: Aluminum ingot price trend: the price fluctuation in the international aluminum market has a direct impact on the aluminum plate and strip price. In 2008, the aluminum ingot price was around 20000 yuan / ton. After the economic crisis in 2009, the lowest aluminum ingot price reached 13000 yuan / ton. It can be seen that the aluminum ingot price is also one of the important factors determining the aluminum plate price.
3: Production cost: as mentioned earlier, due to the increase of production cost, the processing fee of aluminum plate increases. Due to the uncertain factors of coal and electricity price (which determines the production cost) and gasoline price (which determines the transportation cost), as well as the national macro-control, the production cost is determined, but the impact of this quotation on the price of aluminum plate is not very obvious.
4: Market factors: mainly composed of market supply and demand, which has little impact on aluminum plate price.
5: Processing technology: due to different processes adopted by enterprises in aluminum plate processing, for example, large enterprises use alumina as raw material for aluminum plate and strip production, while individual small enterprises use recycled aluminum as raw material for aluminum plate and strip production, which has a certain impact on the price. The price of recycled aluminum is far lower than that of alumina, and of course, the quality is better than that of recycled aluminum., Therefore, the processing technology and materials affect the price of aluminum plate.
China's consumption and demand are considered to be the most important factor in the supply-demand relationship of copper and aluminum. In the global aluminum market chain, the Chinese market is the market with the greatest potential, and the Chinese factor is already the most active factor. China's accelerated urbanization and industrialization, increased investment in basic industries such as power, transportation and construction, especially the rapid development of automobile manufacturing and packaging industry, have directly driven aluminum consumption.
Based on the above points, it can be seen that the international aluminum plate and strip market price fluctuates greatly. At the same time, the factors of processing technology and raw materials also have a great impact on the price. Therefore, it is suggested that the aluminum plate and strip demand enterprises should not blindly covet the price and give up the quality, especially for the aluminum plate and strip produced by recycled aluminum, due to the increase of impurity content, it has a great impact on the plate surface quality.
