Manufacturing Solution Upon Increasing Aluminum Prices

Due to the impact of the Russia-Ukraine crisis, energy prices are rising and have a huge impact on European aluminum production in several applied sectors. According to the aluminum price chart on LME, the aluminum price reached a 13-year high in October of 2021 and surged to a record high at nearly $4,000 a tonne in early March of 2022 as the intensifying Russia-Ukraine war ended disrupted supply. And it is likely to be more disruption to aluminum production and supply chain if the situation of Russia-Ukraine war isn't getting better.

Aluminum is one of the widely-used metal materials among alloys in every industrial sector because of its specific qualities, which make it indispensable in many areas of application, such as the construction industry, mechanical engineering, automotive industry, lighting industry, etc. Aluminum is not only lightweight but also easily machined and cast. Furthermore, it has excellent resistance to corrosion and 100% recyclable characteristics.

Several lighting fixtures are made with aluminum die-casting methods, such as light fixture reflectors, housing for heat sink parts, etc. The natural protective thin oxide coating of aluminum can help keep the metal from making contact with the environment when exposed to air. Hence, it is particularly useful for applications exposed to severe weather conditions where outdoor lighting fixtures are exposed.

You may use the following aluminum alloys in your casting parts:

ADC1, ADC3, ADC6, ADC10, ADC12, AD3.1, AC4C
