Aluminum production costs either from the point of view, or from the point of view of the scope of application, have great potential, but also very likely in the next few years, instead of the copper core wire and cable manufacturers to become the new favorite. And together, whether it is the high price of copper or ushering in a new climax with the construction of power grids, we will give a good opportunity for the development of an AAAC conductor, leaving copper core wire and cable manufacturers to find the perfect substitute, get rid of dependence on copper.
In recent years, high copper prices so the majority of the wire and cable manufacturing enterprises miserable, with the increase in production costs, meager profit is to let some of the wire and cable manufacturers give up. We can even say that some of the markets are shoddy, Quejinduanliang, missing meters short code, and so on, but also copper prices are inextricably linked. The principle of supremacy of the interests, since customer requirements are copper cable, then in order to gain more profit, only in terms of copper brains, so dopant, copper and so bad wrap in the industry abound.
Of course, the high price of copper in addition to outside owns its own advantage, otherwise, it will not let China's wire and cable manufacturers be so dependent on them. Copper has excellent electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity, thus allowing Chinese wire and cable manufacturers to their devotion, even just on the amount of copper wire and cable industry alone accounts for over 60% of the amount of copper it!
But we all know that China is not the copper resource in the country, on the contrary, in China, the status quo is the lack of copper resources in question can not be avoided, resulting in the price of copper has been high.
But, in fact, copper cables also have their own drawbacks, mainly in the greater difficulty of installation, high installation costs, easily lead to theft, prone to aging, and more significant drawbacks though, but because China's wire and cable industry inertia are large, I do not like or that do not actively choose easily change the status quo, and therefore lack the strength of the industry's R & D alternatives to copper cables, and the more energy is used to buying cheap copper respect.
But even if snatch is cheap compared to copper, to develop copper compared to alternatives, the cost is still high. From a long-term point of view, to develop new material, thus changing the over-reliance on copper in such a situation, the market is also the first step, the first step in the practice of other competitors.
In recent years, there are companies investing money and manpower in the development of new materials and have developed the aaac conductor, copper clad aluminum, copper clad steel, and other products, but the current market point of view after practice, is still far from perfect. Furthermore, because the performance and recovery of many other reasons were much more restricted the application failed to set off a confrontation with the copper, and copper balanced the new culture. But from the front of the objective reality, the development of new materials to replace copper, the plan is still urgent!
Because China's current wire and cable industry is suffering from overcapacity, and fierce competition torment, if you can not find and develop high technology content, high-performance new materials to replace the increasingly high price of copper, the wire and cable industry is undoubtedly a restriction. For wire and cable manufacturers, it is undoubtedly also a pull, a serious drag on the company's profit line.
Although the national level or whether it passed each other in the industry, think within the next five years, with the gradual advance the implementation and construction of urban West, East lose, power grids and other projects, China's wire, and cable market capacity will be 8% -9 percent growth rate remained impressive, but if you can not break the excessive dependence on copper, and can not break the bottleneck of the development of new materials, then for China's wire and cable industry, perhaps more should be mixed.
Of course, the primary application of aaac conductor is likely to break the wire and cable manufacturers only "copper" from the chronic problems. This is both in the 2012 Asian high-end summit in wire and cable, or later the industry will promote the exchange several times, and has demonstrated, showing the development of aaac conductor is likely to be overwhelming, immeasurable.
This is actually from Europe and other countries who can be found in accordance with, Europe including the United States, Canada, and other wire and cable manufacturers use AAAC conductor giant has been nearly 40 years, and aaac conductor also because of its good performance and safety of electrical wire and cable award manufacturers and markets of all ages. To this end, the United States and Canada have developed standard cable products, the formation of standardized production.
With the development of technology and the improvement of power transmission and power transmission lines, the aluminum wire has increasingly shown its superiority in long-distance, large-span, EHV transmission, the exclusive advantages. Currently, Western Europe, Northern Europe, the United States, Canada, Japan, and other countries have widely adopted it, In the United States and France, almost 80% or more transmission lines use aluminum wire, and Japan has reached more than 50%, usage surge in Southeast Asian countries in the year, and The current application amount of less than 1%.
Therefore, China's wire and cable manufacturers can find to break the high price of raw materials in the hammer AAAC conductor, causing widespread interest within the industry.
