Aluminum in Railway and Urban Railway System

In recent years, with the rapid development of our economy, railway transportation has been entering into growth period. Meanwhile, nergy shortage and environmental deterioration also put forward higher requirements on the development of railway transportation. Owing to light quality, excellent molding, high intensity, corrosion resisting and reproducible, aluminum stand out from the crowd.

Despite our nation’s aluminum and aluminum products obtain long-term development, but compared with Europe, America and Japan, we still remains gap. In those countries, aluminum and aluminum products in transportation industry gain favorable economic benefits and social benefits. This means we still have certain development space in railway transportation industry.

With the development of China’s high-speed rail and bullet train technology, China high-speed railway has walk out, thus the demand of aluminum also face an increasing situation.

Research date indicate that compare with steel train, aluminum tram contains obvious advantages. Aluminum tram possesses fuel saving, reduce pollution, long life span, corrosion resistance and low maintenance cost, could bring obvious economic benefits. So far, America has produced hundred thousands of aluminum trams. We sure that with the advantages of aluminum tram constant existing, ot has a bright future in domestic market.
