Progress in the transformation and upgrading of the aluminum industry in Henan Province

On September 1st, Henan Yulian Energy Group Co., Ltd. sent a good news: The company's high-performance aluminum alloy special aluminum projects received orders for 5,000 tons of aluminum deep processing products overseas for the first time, and all of them will be exported to Indonesia in September. At the same time, South Korea, the United States, India and other international customers have also signed a purchase contract with Yulian, indicating that the company has made substantive progress in developing the development strategy of the international aluminum alloy high-end market.

“As a pilot unit for the transformation and upgrading of the aluminum industry in Henan Province, Yulian has world-class equipment advantages. Through hard work, Yulian will gradually build the Zhongfu brand into a world-renowned brand in the aluminum alloy field and play a role in the transformation and upgrading of the aluminum industry in the province. Leading role of the backbone.” Zhang Hongen, chairman of Yulian Group, said in an interview with reporters.

Since the beginning of this year, the overcapacity in the aluminum industry in the domestic industry has become increasingly severe. Accelerating transformation and upgrading has become a common proposition for the aluminum industry companies. Due to the high starting point and potential of electrolyzed aluminum enterprises in the province, in June of this year, Yulian Group was identified by the provincial government as the “Pilot for Transformation and Upgrading of Coal, Electricity, Aluminum, and Deep Processing of Aluminum Industry in Henan Province”, giving support from various aspects.

Based on its advantages and seizing opportunities, Yulian Group's goal of “being first-class in the world and leading in China” is to accelerate the implementation of transformation and upgrading of its core project, the high performance aluminum alloy special aluminum project. This project adopts world-class equipment and technology from Germany's SMS, Siemens, etc., and combines "1+4" aluminum sheet with hot strip rolling + cold rolling with machinery, hydraulic pressure, electric drive, automatic control, inspection, process model special technology and equipment. The production technology is one of the most advanced large-scale aluminum strip projects in the world. It mainly produces high-precision aluminum strips that are currently in short supply in the domestic market and have long been dependent on imports.

In the first half of this year, the "1+4" hot strip rolling line entered a stable production stage. The 2500mm single-stand cold rolling mill of the corresponding cold rolling project successfully rolled out the first roll of aluminum alloy strip on June 26th, with double-rack cold rolling. The machine is undergoing equipment installation. At present, Yulian Group cans can cover and pull ring materials are produced in large quantities. Can lid materials are supplied to the market. Tank materials have preliminary cold rolling development capabilities. Double zero foil blanks, car tanker materials and other products are normally produced. Dozens of large downstream aluminum processing customers cooperate.

In August, Yulian Group also invited a team of foreign experts with decades of experience in aluminum processing to join the company. Together with the company, it developed equipment advantages, implemented specialized and batch production, and gradually met the needs of high-end aluminum processing customers and high-end markets in the world. At the same time, we have continued to increase technological innovation, and we have made progress in the field of precision aluminum industrialization and automotive panels.

“Next, Yulian will establish a world-class enterprise technology center and a national laboratory for aluminum processing. It will expand traditions in lightweight transportation, new energy aluminum-air batteries, aluminum-based steel, aluminum-based copper, and aluminum-based wood. The application of aluminum in new materials and new energy sources," said Zhang Hongen, according to the requirements of the era of green development, green manufacturing, and green consumption, Yulian Group will continue its efforts to accelerate the promotion of enterprises from traditional aluminum enterprises to world-class high-end Aluminum deep processing enterprises transformation and upgrading.
