Henan Yongtong Participates in the B2B Opening Ceremony Between Mordovia(Russia) and Chinese Entrepreneurs

On September 25, 2024, Henan Yongtong Group, a leading company in China's aluminium processing industry, participated in the B2B opening ceremony between Mordovia (Russia) and Chinese entrepreneurs at the Shanghai Hotel. Over 30 Russian companies joined the event, providing a platform for businesses from both countries to explore collaboration opportunities. Henan Yongtong Group, with a monthly production capacity of 70,000 tons of high-quality aluminium products, engaged in discussions with Russian enterprises from various sectors, such as lighting, electrical cables, and packaging.

I. Aluminium Applications in the Lighting Industry

Aluminium is widely used in lighting due to its excellent heat dissipation and lightweight properties. Common questions raised during discussions included:

i. What material is good for lampshades?

Aluminium is ideal for lampshades, especially for LED lights, where its heat dissipation improves the longevity of the lights.

ii. What are metal lamp shades made of?

Metal lampshades are typically made of 1050, 1060, and 3003 aluminium alloys, which offer excellent formability, heat management, and reflective properties.

iii. How do you clean aluminium lamps?

Cleaning aluminium lamps is simple—using a soft cloth with water or a mild cleaner can keep the surface shiny without damaging the finish.

II. Aluminium Applications in Electrical Cables and Transformers

The use of aluminium in electrical cables and transformers was another focus of the discussions. Aluminium's superior conductivity and cost-effectiveness make it a key material for these industries. Questions explored included:

i. Why is aluminium used in transformers?

Aluminium is lightweight and affordable, making it an excellent choice for transformer windings, especially where weight is a concern.

ii. What type of aluminium is used in transformers?

1070 and 6061 aluminium alloys are widely used. 1070 has a conductivity above 35.5 MS/m, making it ideal for electrical applications, while 6061 provides both good conductivity and high strength.

iii. Why is aluminium used in transformer winding?

Its balance of conductivity, lightweight nature, and cost efficiency makes aluminium an ideal material for transformer windings, especially in high-voltage applications.

III. Aluminium Applications in the Packaging Industry

In the packaging industry, aluminium plays a crucial role in both food and pharmaceutical packaging, offering excellent barrier properties. Key topics discussed included:

i. What is aluminium used for in packaging?

Aluminium foil is widely used for packaging because it provides an effective barrier against moisture, oxygen, and light. It is commonly used in food packaging, but also in pharmaceutical packaging to protect sensitive medications.

ii. What are the disadvantages of aluminium packaging?

The main drawback is the energy-intensive production process, although AluminIum's recyclability offsets much of this environmental impact.

iii. Why is aluminium the best packaging?

Aluminium's light weight, durability, and recyclability make it an ideal packaging material, especially when compared to plastic.

iv. Is aluminium packaging better than plastic?

Aluminium is superior in terms of recyclability and environmental sustainability, especially when used in cans. Common alloys include 1235, 3003, 8011, and 8079, all of which are used for food and pharmaceutical packaging.

The discussions during the B2B meeting provided Henan Yongtong Group with a valuable opportunity to explore further collaborations in these sectors, particularly with Russian companies. The company is dedicated to providing high-quality aluminium products to meet the diverse needs of the global market.
