Railway Vehicle Aluminum Profile with Huge Potential

(China Aluminum Network) Aluminum consumption ratio may increase continually in transportation area in the future.

From the view of aluminum process industry, now this industry was over capacity (low capacity factor) and low-end products; but with the economic transition and structural adjustment in China, aluminum process industry will upgrade industry and put forward higher requirements of products quality, precision and grade.

In the sub-industries of transportation field, they held optimistic attitude toward the development of railway vehicles including high-speed rail and rail transit. Since profiles are the key material for railway vehicles, thus they expected this will be the main motivator to drive aluminum profile consumption.

Rail transit industry: estimated to build 70 rail transits in 2015, about 2100 kilometers. As every kilometer equipped 6 carriages, the ratio of aluminum alloy vehicles was more than 50%. Every carriage needs 6 tons of aluminum extrusions on average; the whole body needs more than 37.8 thousand tons of aluminum profiles.
