Cable industry "to aluminum copper" is the trend, in recent years, the rapid increase in consumption, so far the degree of dependence on imports is still as high as 60%.

China is the world's wire and cable manufacturing country, but also a consumer. As a country with scarce copper resources, this will become a bottleneck restricting further development, and "saving copper with aluminum" may become a new trend in the development of the cable industry. It is understood that China is still in a period of rapid development of urbanization, and the driving force of economic development is still strong. As the second largest strategic material in China after oil, the consumption of copper has increased rapidly in recent years, and the dependence on imports is still as high as 60% so far. China is rich in aluminum and copper resources are poor, copper prices have risen too fast in recent years, the feasibility of aluminum instead of copper has become the focus of the industry. Huang Chongqi, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said in his report in July that the cable industry "saving copper with aluminum" is an international trend, and its process varies according to the actual situation of various countries, but it can only develop gradually with the development of science and technology and the change of people's habitual forces. Academician Huang Chongqi also pointed out in particular that what we call "saving copper with aluminum" is by no means the policy of "replacing copper with aluminum" advocated in the 6. and 1970 s, because copper was listed as national defense materials at that time and it was difficult to import from foreign countries. However, the current meaning is that copper should be used where copper must be used, and aluminum can also be used where copper is available, need to be scientifically demonstrated and practical application, can use aluminum on the application of aluminum, to achieve progressive development. Gong Xinming, chief technical adviser to CTC Asia, said at the 2013 Global Wire and Cable Annual Conference that the social and economic value of replacing copper with aluminum is huge. Compared with copper, China's aluminum resources are much richer and the price is much lower. Moreover, if the same weight, the conductivity of aluminum is also stronger than that of copper, and the conductivity of 1 ton of aluminum is approximately equal to 2 tons of copper. If you take the aluminum instead of copper to manufacture the cable, the production cost of the cable company will be much less. In recent years, the concept of rare earth aluminum alloy cable has been gradually accepted by the domestic market, and the market consumption is growing rapidly. It can be predicted that the application of aluminum alloy cable in China will continue to rise. As a country with scarce copper resources, actively developing aluminum alloy conductor insulated cables and supporting fittings to serve the field of power transmission and distribution, not only has a huge market space, but also the responsibility and obligation of the cable industry to build a "resource-saving and environment-friendly.
