Some aluminum industry people know, the aluminum price changes every day, depending on the price of aluminum ingots, aluminum ingots is an important raw material production, which directly affect the price of aluminum ingot aluminum prices.
1, the price of aluminum ingot
Effect of changes in aluminum ingot prices prices is the largest aluminum ingot price changes directly determines the ups and downs of the current aluminum prices. As the most important raw material for the production of aluminum, aluminum ingot prices in the futures market ups and downs constantly, all the time the price is not the same, leading to aluminium plate factory production costs continue to fluctuate with the price of aluminum ingot; aluminum manufacturers and pricing of "aluminum ingot price + processing costs "calculated, so different batches of aluminum production costs is not the same.
2, the production process and alloy composition
Aluminum divided into eight series of hundreds of brands, thin less than one millimeter thick enough to have tens of centimeters, different production processes and alloy composition determines the huge difference in cost. For example, the same as 3mm aluminum, 1060 pure aluminum production costs compared with 6061, the latter is 2-3 times. Popular speaking, the thicker the aluminum, the greater the cross-sectional area, mechanical and chemical properties as possible, its production costs are higher.
3, personnel, warehousing, transportation, processing costs
The impact of these factors on the price of aluminum, although minimal, but in the long run, increasing personnel, warehousing, transportation costs, will result in rising aluminum prices; and many customers will ask for secondary aluminum cutting, processing costs naturally It will affect the final price of the aluminum plate.
