i am a huge copper aluminum cable industry replacement rate gap
[ cable news network ] " currently, the u.s. aluminum , aluminum-magnesium -silicon alloy of copper replacement rate as high as 70 % -75 %, japan 55% , while china only 3 % -5 % ." april 11 , dongguan says slippery when city安美润technology co., division director feng cable technology acceptance cable network (cableabc) told reporters at the 2014 china ( changzhou ) wire and cable equipment and materials exhibition .
he said the wire and cable industry is heavy and light materials , about 80% of the total raw material costs . if using aluminum instead of copper as a conductor , then it would save a lot of costs.
he believes in the manufacture of wire and cable , aluminum should be more consideration in the future. in this regard , he explained that , before the price of copper has more than 80,000 yuan / ton , although there has dropped to 40,000 yuan / ton, but relative to the price of aluminum more than 10,000 yuan / ton , the copper is still very expensive. moreover, china is a big country producing aluminum , copper resources are relatively poor . if using aluminum as a conductor manufacturing cables , then there will be the following issues : poor tensile strength , high cost, electrical conductivity than copper and so much worse . compared with copper and aluminum cable and cable, electrical conductivity although there are some gaps, but much better than aluminum cable , and its relatively hard , the cost is higher than the province . " especially in the case of aerial power line , which has a great advantage ." for the development trend of aluminum cable , and he was very sure.
he told the cable network (cableabc) reporter , domestic demand look to see the world. he noted that many countries have used a wide range of aluminum cable . currently, the u.s. aluminum , aluminum-magnesium -silicon alloy of copper replacement rate as high as 70 % -75 %, japan 55% , while china only 3 % -5 %.
about why aluminum cable has not been widely used in china , he believes there are two main reasons: chinese people's concept has not changed over the government 's efforts in the promotion as well as insufficient. in this regard , he called the future , people need to accelerate the understanding of aluminum cable and aluminum cable as soon as possible to receive , while the government should intensify efforts to promote aluminum cable.
this exhibition is an organizational unit synnex exhibition service co., ltd. shanghai , co-organized by the city of changzhou, jiangsu and anhui hardware & electrical wire and cable industry associations wuwei county .
cable trading treasure , the cable network to provide media support to the exhibition.
