Market price of aluminum gravity casting alloy

Aluminum gravity casting alloy is from aluminum electrolytic aluminum. The former one is a kind of alloy with other elements while the later one is nearly a pure aluminum. The price we referred for aluminum alloy is actually the price of aluminum electrolytic aluminum in everyday talking. The electrolytic aluminum price can be referred to certain metal stock or exchange market where the instant price is available. For instant price of electrolytic aluminum of China market, please refer to Shanghai Metal stock.

The aluminum casting alloy is made from alloying several other elements into aluminum. And the aluminum casting alloy foundries generally use electrolytic aluminum as the alloying material for casting alloy production. The other elements only have a small content of the total casting alloy. In that case, the aluminum casting alloy price is always quoted as a basic electrolytic aluminum instant price plus the alloying cost. For example, the common A356 casting alloy ( similar to chinese code of Zl101) can be quoted as the instant electrolytic aluminum price plus 2000RMB per ton as the cost of alloying and transportation and the distributor's profit.

Different price of different casting alloy

Aluminum gravity casting alloy has quite a lot of families such as Al-Si family, Al-Si-Mg family, Al-Si-Cu family and some very special aluminum casting alloy family like Al-Mg and Al-Zn family. Considering the different price of different element and their alloying cost, different aluminum casting alloy family has different price. Even in the same family, because of different market demand, some casting alloy which is subject to mass production is cheaper than which is subject to small quantity production.

Nearly each main industrial country has their own aluminum alloy designation. Some common alloy codes from different countries can be approximately similar to each other, and actually the aluminum casting alloy of local casting alloy code is used as the same alloy of a similar alloy code from other country. However it doesn't always work. Considering some special mechanical and chemical property, in some case we have to use the casting alloy of the exact foreign country code. In such case, except we alloy the casting alloy according to its chemical composition by ourselves, we have to import the material from its original country. That is why using aluminum casting alloy of local code is always cheaper than using an alloy from other countries or we have to alloy it in small batch.
