Introduction to global aluminum ore types

Global bauxite deposit types can generally be divided into two major categories: laterite type and sedimentary type.

The ore of laterite bauxite deposits is mainly gibbsite or a mixed type of gibbsite and boehmite. It is characterized by medium aluminum, low silicon, high aluminum to silicon ratio, and high iron. It is a high-quality raw material for the aluminum industry. , easy to harvest and soluble. The reserves of this type of deposit account for about 88% of the world's total aluminum ore reserves. It is the world's main bauxite deposit. It is mainly distributed in the tropical and subtropical ranges between 30° north and south latitude, generally in the offshore plains and mid-low highlands on the edge of the continent. , mesas and islands are visible.

Sedimentary bauxite deposit reserves account for about 11% of the world's total aluminum ore reserves. This type of bauxite deposit presents a variety of ore types due to different ore control times and regions. For example, China's karst bauxite deposits are mainly diaspore type, and the ore characteristics are high aluminum, high silicon, medium Low aluminum to silicon ratio and low iron; karst bauxite deposits in the Mediterranean and Caribbean areas contain both boehmite, gibbsite and various mixed ores. Global sedimentary bauxite deposits are mainly distributed in temperate areas near 30°-60° north latitude.

Analysis of global aluminum product structure

There are certain differences in the global aluminum product structure between different regions and industries, but the following general analysis can be made:

Aluminum materials and semi-finished products: Aluminum materials and semi-finished products are the main components of the global aluminum product structure. This includes aluminum plates, aluminum coils, aluminum profiles, aluminum foil, etc. Aluminum materials and semi-finished products are widely used in construction, transportation, packaging, electricity and other fields, and are the main products of the aluminum industry.

Aluminum building materials: Aluminum building materials are an important part of the global aluminum product structure. Aluminum alloy doors and windows, aluminum curtain walls, etc. are widely used in the construction field. These products are lightweight, corrosion-resistant and durable, providing good architectural appearance and functionality.

Automotive industry: The automotive industry is one of the important areas of global aluminum product consumption. Aluminum alloy parts are widely used in automobile manufacturing, such as engine parts, body structures, wheels, etc. Aluminum's lightweight properties help improve fuel efficiency and reduce tailpipe emissions.

Packaging Industry: Aluminum packaging products have a wide range of applications worldwide. Aluminum cans, aluminum foil, etc. can be used for packaging of food, beverages, pharmaceuticals and other products. Aluminum packaging products have excellent moisture-proof, anti-oxidation and fresh-keeping properties, which can extend the shelf life of products.

Aerospace field: The aerospace field is an industry with a large demand for high-performance aluminum alloys. Aluminum alloys are used in aerospace for aircraft structures, engine parts, aerospace equipment, etc. High strength, light weight and corrosion resistance make aluminum alloys an ideal material choice.

Factors That Affecting the Price of Aluminum Extrusion Dies

The types of aluminum profile extrusion dies are different, and the design of the die structure combination is different, so the price is also different.

1.Structure

Aluminum profile molds are divided into flat molds and split molds, and there is also an integral mold for the extrusion production of seamless pipes, which are relatively rare. Today we will focus on the flat die and the split die. The flat die is used for profiles without a cavity, and the split die is used for profiles with a cavity. The split mold is a combination of upper and lower molds, so the price is more expensive.

2.Size

The larger the profile mold is, the larger the profile mold is. The material of the aluminum profile mold is generally H13 steel, and the larger the mold, the higher the price. That is to say, the larger the cross-section, the higher the price of the aluminum profile mold

3.Cross section complexity

The cross-section of aluminum profiles ranges from simple square tubes or round tubes to complex radiators or multi-cavity profiles. Although split molds are used, the development costs of the molds are different. The more complex the cross-section, the higher the cost of the mold.
