Aluminum has very excellent mechanical and physical properties, and is a "Green metal" and "Energy storage metal". It plays an indispensable and key role in my country's economic transformation and upgrading. In recent years, the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association has always attached great importance to expanding the application of aluminum, persisting in exploring new growth points in aluminum consumption, cultivating new momentum, and cultivating new productivity according to local conditions. In 2024, the association will focus on "Saving copper with aluminum" and carry out a series of promotion and application work to continue to expand the application scenarios of aluminum, especially in the fields of refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump industries. Applications have made positive progress.
Since the beginning of this year, benefiting from the high copper-aluminum price ratio and other factors, "Saving copper with aluminum" has become a focus of attention. This is not only in consideration of the inherent demand for the materials industry in the current economic development, but also a strategic move to alleviate the shortage of copper resources in my country and ensure national resource security.
