The main added elements of die-casting zinc alloy are aluminum, copper and magnesium. Zinc alloys can be divided into deformation and casting zinc alloys according to processing technology. Cast zinc alloy has good fluidity and corrosion resistance. The end products include hardware bathroom, doors and windows, locks, plate buttons, zippers, jewelry and gifts. Die cast zinc alloy accounts for about 12.54% of China's primary zinc consumption.
Most of the downstream zinc consumption enterprises in South China are die-casting zinc alloy enterprises, including large-scale enterprises such as Guangdong Jinyi, Shenzhen Shanke alloy, etc. Zinc alloy plants in East China are concentrated in Wenzhou, Ningbo and other places, including Ningbo Jinli and Ningbo Jinyi alloy, which are relatively representative in the local area.
In the first half of 2020, due to the impact of the epidemic, the challenges faced by zinc alloy die-casting factories were unprecedented. The spread of the overseas epidemic led to a sharp drop in the export orders of zinc die-casting enterprises. The lock, sanitary ware, clothing hardware and other industries that originally manufactured high-end export products were affected. Many die-casting hardware factories started to reduce production or even temporarily stopped production, and the overall zinc alloy die-casting industry was greatly impacted.
At present, the operating rate of die-casting zinc alloy has rebounded, domestic orders support the overall demand, and overseas orders are also improving, which is expected to continue to drive the demand.
The supply of zinc alloy die-casting plants still puts great pressure on die-casting zinc alloy enterprises. In terms of regions, Guangdong is relatively less impacted by the supply of alloy from smelters, and the processing cost is higher than that in other regions as a whole. However, the East China market is more impacted by the low-cost supply of zinc alloy from smelters, and the survival of small alloy plants is still difficult. Some of them are converted to purchasing the low-cost supply of smelters for sales.
However, the die-casting raw material end market is constantly released by the alloy output of zinc smelting enterprises. Taking advantage of resources, market and brand advantages, it is necessary to develop the deep processing of enterprise products and extend products to the industrial chain processing industry. Some smelters are actively putting into operation die-casting zinc alloy production lines in order to improve product added value and core competitiveness, which also quietly changes the market pattern of die-casting zinc alloy.
Looking forward to the "epidemic era" after the die casting zinc alloy industry, what is the progress of economic recovery at home and abroad, and whether the recovery trend can be maintained after the continuous reverse rise of zinc price since the end of March? What are the changes in the consumption and living environment after the die casting zinc alloy industry leaves the dark time, the development status of the cast zinc alloy Market under the condition of overcapacity, and the operation logic and direction of various types of enterprises in the zinc alloy Market? In addition, the advantages of technology closely related to the operation of zinc alloy die casting plant in the industry are particularly important at present.
