    The low energy consumption required for recycling aluminum makes the process important. The energy required to recycle aluminum is about 4-5% of the energy that is needed to produce the light-weight metal from bauxite. Thus, recycling aluminum will result in 95% energy saving. Aluminum scrap and waste fall into two general categories: new and old scrap. New scrap is metal that is left over during the production of finished products or semis. Old scrap, on the other hand, is metal from end-of-life goods. Aluminum scrap can be used by producers with melting capacities.

    Output from copper ore processing includes concentrates, SXEW cathode, or cement copper. Copper concentrate is produced in concentrators that use sulphide ore as feed. SXEW cathode is produced in hydrometallurgical plants using oxide ore as feed. Cement copper is produced in hydrometallurgical (cementation) plants that can use oxide ore or copper scrap as feed. Copper concentrate in Turkey’s market has an average grade between 24% and 26%. Cement copper in Turkey, like global markets, does not have a significant share and the grades are between 69% and 71%. Finally, SXEW cathode is produced according to global standards with 99.99% grades, which is equivalent to the LME’s grade A cathode.

    Power wires and cables include all electrical conductors used in the power industry, automotive, construction, equipment and machinery, or put another way, all industrial applications. As one of the early steps in the supply chain of wires and cables with metal conductors, metal wire rod is drawn into wires in different diameters, which are then coated with different insulations based on applications. Wires are also used in wiring harnesses for motor vehicles. Finally, wires (coated or otherwise) are twisted into cables. Copper is the main conductor used in the production of power wires and cables in the UAE.

    The dimensions of copper and brass rods, bars, and sections (RBS) are determined by their cross section shapes and sizes. Generally, RBS come in round, square or rectangular, and hexagonal cross sections; round RBS cross sections range from 1.5mm to 90mm. Polygonal RBS can be from 4mm to 80mm in cross section diameter. RBS in smaller cross section sizes are sold in coils, while other products are sold as straight lengths. RBS are also categorized as hollow and solid. Copper busbars are produced in round and flat forms in different sizes. These products are mostly produced through the extrusion of billets as raw materials. However, busbars and strips are partly produced from rolled copper wire rod.

    Telecom wires and cables include not only those with copper conductors, but also optical fiber as well as a combination of both. Telecom wires and cables are used to send and receive data signals, where speed is particularly important. Thus, the structure of the cables varies depending on their applications in general use and military telecom systems. Copper conductor or optical fiber is used in these cables to transfer data. The layout of the core (whether copper or optical fiber) also affects transfer speed. Coaxial cables have metal conductors and shields that not only reduce electromagnetic noise, but also contribute to data transfer.

    Thanks to their various shapes, aluminum extrusions have wide applications in different industries. Among the consumer industries, the construction sector is the largest consumer of extrusions in curtain walls and aluminum doors and windows. Due to Saudi Arabia’s hot climate, the construction industry has moved towards using more insulation products, such as curtain walls and double-glazed doors and windows, which will not only minimize energy loss, but also have much lower installation costs in tall, big buildings compared to other types of façade.

    • TRY: 365,000 ₺

    In terms of applications, wires and cables can be categorized as electrical, telecom, and winding wire. Electrical wires and cables include all electrical conductors in the power industry (both HV and LV), automotive, construction, equipment and machinery, or in other words, all industrial applications. Telecom wires and cables include twisted pairs, high-frequency cables, coaxial cables, optical fiber, and a combination of copper and optical fiber. Winding wire has a thin coating and is mostly used in coil windings.

  • Saudi Arabia’s Aluminum Wire Rod Market Outlook Report

    Aluminum wire rod is generally produced using one of three processes: continuous casting and rolling, direct casting, and extrusion. The production process affects the dimensions, shape, quality, and purity of the wire rod. Most of the wire rod produced through extrusion is packed in bundles, but wire rod that is produced through casting is often packed as coils. Most of the wire rod coil produced in Saudi Arabia is through continuous casting and rolling. The process involves the continuous casting of billets and then rolling it into wire rod with the desired thickness.

    The production of aluminum wires and cables accounts for the main consumption of wire rod. Mechanical applications such as rivets, screws, fences, and meshes are also large consumers. Demand for aluminum wires and cables from electrical industries and related consumers is expected to be steady over the coming years.
