What is the production capacity of a China aluminum plate company? - 1-LVDCPN - 09-12-2018

China produce (smelts) over three million tons annually. The rest of the world produce a little over two millions. Now this id not plate but primary aluminum mostly billets, logs for further down stream processing. These include your every day kitchen foils to window frames airplanes trains cars and thousands other products space ships. Infact the production or smelting of aluminum is a measure of industrialization of a country. Not to be confused with raw aluminum or boxite from which the aluminum we know comes from. Venezuela for example is Rich in boxite but produces very little aluminum. Each year there are many new aluminum products introduced. So if you are considering a career in this field it is a good choice.

Haomei Aluminum has total annual production capacity of 200,000 metric ton aluminum sheet, strip and foil. It is equipped with 1+4 hot tandem rolling line, 4 cold mill production lines, and 5 foil mill production lines, and a complete complex of fishing equipment.
We would like to highlight our aluminium circle, aluminum ROPP cap materials, aluminum hot rolled plate and aluminum tread plate with good quality and competitive price. Haomei Aluminum sells its products widely to United State, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Germany, UK, Italy, Bulgaria, Czech, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Iran, Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines, Austria, Fiji, South Africa etc more than 40 countries.

The thick  aluminum plate can be divided into ingot hot rolled thick plate and cast thick plate from the production process. Wherein the thickness of the cast thick plate can be basically unlimited (maximum thickness reaches 1.2 m), but the hot rolled thick plate has better mechanical properties after the rolled process, so the aerospace products generally use ingot hot rolled thick plates. However, the thickness of the hot-rolled aluminum plate cannot exceed 250 mm, otherwise the cast structure cannot be completely turned into hot-rolled structure.

The typical production process of ingot hot rolled thick aluminum plate is: raw material – casting – ingot milling – hot rolling – solution treatment – quenching – stretching – sawing. Since the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the plate during quenching is too large, when the thickness of the aluminum plate exceeds 6 mm, a large quenching residual stress is formed. The thicker the aluminum plate, the larger the internal quenching residual stress amplitude, and the greater the tensile force required for the stretching process. Th tensile force required to stretch the aluminum plate up to 200 mm will reach 1 ten thousand tons, and this level of large tension stretching machine is not only high in technical indicators, and the investment is huge and difficult to introduce.
Most aluminum alloy thick plates are pre-stretched, and the production capacity of the stretching machine determines the production capacity of the china aluminum plate company. And only with higher advanced stretching machine, the different thickness requirements of aluminum plate buyers can be meet.
