Pages : 174
Book Description
Annotation This comprehensive report examines the state of the world aluminium industry at the start of the 21st century, reviewing the aftermath of 1994's Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), which mothballed 1.5m tonnes of capacity and led to a sharp rise in prices. It examines the damage done to aluminium demand from both the automotive and beverage can sectors, and the effects of talk of recession in the US and Europe in 2001. However, it finds that aluminium is at last beginning to see signs of success in the mass-produced end of the automotive market with the launch of the Audi A2. Packaging demand is also holding up, although PET is continuing to make gains in the beverage container market. Up-to-date, in-depth research and analysis to make you an authority on the world's major nickel markets This new report is a vital aid to surviving and prospering in a complex and changing market. Western Europe remains a net importer of primary aluminium, with imports of over 2 million tonnes. If the expected growth in per capita aluminium consumption up to 2010 takes place, Europe will rely even more heavily on imported metal from countries such as Russia and the Gulf Co-operation Council countries. Chinese demand for aluminium in building and construction is forecast to grow at an impressive 15% per year. Aluminium will provide 68% of the material weight of the airframe of the new Airbus A3XX. Using current Airbus design principles, about 980 tonnes of semi-finished aluminium products will be needed per aircraft. Aluminium applications in industrial vehicles grew by 4-5% in the five years to 2000; however, they could increase worldwide by 30-50% by 2005. Aluminium bridges are a new and promising market, with recent technological advances making it possible to construct bridges with spans of up to 100 metres or more. The three biggest European construction markets for aluminium are Italy, with 270,000 tonnes, Germany with 210,000 tonnes and the UK, with 150,000 tonnes.

The Political Economy of Russian Aluminium
Author: Jakub M. Godzimirski
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319572342
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
This book addresses how the progress of the Russian aluminium industry, which has developed into an important global actor, has been influenced by the interaction of global market forces and the evolution of the Russian political system. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russian aluminium producers needed to adapt to changing framework conditions, both with regards to the global aluminium market and in Russia. Examining the most important changes in the organization of the global aluminium trade – the reorganization and consolidation of Russian aluminium industry and its ‘oligarchization’ – Godzimirski charts the evolution of the relationship between political and economic power in Russia, and the impact that this development has had on survival and adaptation strategies of key aluminium players in the country.

Aluminium and Alzheimer's Disease
Author: C. Exley
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080525504
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 453
Book Description
The subject of aluminium and Alzheimer's disease has been plagued with controversy. This controversy has served to obscure much of the scientific research in this field, and subsequently has obscured the possibility that aluminium is a contributory factor in the aetiology of Alzheimer's disease. This book brings together many of the world's leading scientists researching aluminium and life and contains their critical summaries on the known facts about aluminium toxicity in man and to offer an opinion on the implications of this knowledge on a link between aluminium and Alzheimer's disease. The subject areas of the chapters were chosen to reflect the myriad of ways that aluminium is known to impact upon mammalian physiology and function and range from clinical studies, through animal models of disease to the detailed biochemistry of aluminium toxicity. Chapters are also included on epidemiology and other factors involved in the aetiology of Alzheimer's.This is the first time that this subject has been treated in such a comprehensive manner. The research detailed in each chapter, includes the latest research in the field, it has been critically appraised and this appraisal has been used by each author to present an informed opinion of its relevance to aluminium and Alzheimer's disease. The chapters are much more than reviews; they are a statement of the state of the art and of what the future may hold for research in this field. As a whole they show the high quality of research that has been carried out in our efforts to understand the toxicity of aluminium in man and that we are far away from discounting the possibility that aluminium is a contributory factor in the aetiology of Alzheimer's disease.
