China Zhongwang Actively Develops Shipbuilding Aluminum R&D

According to relevant statistics, in 2015, the country's shipbuilding volume was 31.26 million dwt, which was an increase of 7.1% year-on-year, and the total number of export vessels accounted for 95.7%. China Shipbuilding's three major data shipbuilding completions, new orders, etc. account for about 35% of the world market share. It can be seen that the domestic shipbuilding industry has a rapid development momentum. As a leading global leader in aluminum processing, China Zhongwang actively expands the production and R&D of marine aluminum.

Aluminum is an advanced material for the construction of ships and marine engineering structures, and plays an important role in promoting the development of the ship sector. Aluminum alloys are light weight, strong mechanical properties and corrosion resistance properties, and are the preferred materials for modern ships. Ships made of aluminum alloys have features such as high speed, long service life, high load capacity, and low maintenance cost.

It is understood that China Zhongwang's industrial aluminum extrusion products for shipbuilding have been certified by Det Norske Veritas, one of the world's leading classification societies.

In addition, the Tianjin Zhonglv Tianjin aluminum-rolled steel project will be put into production soon, and its first production line will mainly produce aluminum alloy plate, including transportation plates used in ships, commercial vehicles, rail vehicles, etc., after being put into production. It will further enhance the competitiveness of Zhongwang in the high-end aluminum market, such as shipbuilding, automobile, and rail transit, and it is expected to reverse the situation of domestic high-end aluminum products relying on imports.
