The Aluminum Association has initiated the organization of the large-scale long section manufacture of aluminum alloys at Russian enterprises.
The issue was discussed during the meeting of the association with the leading local aluminum manufacturers and consumers.
“Russia does not produce large-scale long sections of aluminum alloys at present and has to import them. The local consumption could exceed 27 thousand tons per year”, the association chairman Valentin Trischenko said.
Such sections are used in a variety of industries: machine-building, car-manufacture, and shipbuilding.
The participants of the meeting believe such an initiative requires serious investments and bears high risks. So it was decided to work more on the issue. (Ukrainian metal)
