Seven of the top-10 casting-producing nations shifted
up or down in the rankings in 2009, reflecting the fluctuating markets during the recession. Brazil, which had been one of two top-10 countries to show growth in 2008, experienced a 31.5% decrease in shipments from 2008 to 2009, the biggest drop of any top-10 nation during that time period. India was the fastest growing top-10 nation, increasing its casting tonnage by 9%. The top 10 nations produced a total of 70,476,338 tons, 88% of the global total. The data reported in the 44th
Census of World Cast-
ing Production is supplied by each nation’s metalcasting association or similar representative. Countries that did not participate this year were Denmark, The Netherlands and Thailand. These countries remain listed according to the last year they participated.
New to the List
A few new countries have been added to this year’s census of casting producers and another has been updated after seven years of incomplete data. Ukraine: Before this year, the most recent production
data from Ukraine dated to 2002, when the country was producing 974,170 tons of castings a year. Not much has changed. The Foundry Association of Ukraine reports the country produced about 1 million tons of castings in 2009. Ferrous casting makes up the lion’s share of production (95.5%), but nonferrous casting has improved 42.9% since 2002. Serbia: For many years, this country has been in
turmoil, with much of the casting activity shut down or severely hampered. From 1990 through 1999, its econ- omy was cut in half. Since then, Serbia has been making up ground. In 2008, the Serbian Foundrymen Society
曾是2008年排名前十的国家中出现增长的两个国家之 一，但从2008年到2009年发货量减少了31.5%，是该 段时间内所有排名前十的国家中发货量减少最多的。 印度以9%的铸件吨数增长成为了增长最快的排名前 十的国家。所有排名前十的国家共生产了70,476,338 吨，是全世界产量的88%。第四十四届世界铸造产品 调查的数据来自于各个国家的铸造组织或者同类代表 机构。丹麦、荷兰和泰国没有参加今年的调查。基于 去年的调查这些国家仍然在名单内。
名单更新
有少量新的国家被加入到今年的铸件生产调查中，另 外还有国家历经7年数据不完整之后进行了数据更新。 乌克兰：在今年之前，乌克兰最近的产品数据为 2002年的数据，当时铸件年产量为974,170吨。没有太 大改变，乌克兰铸造协会报告显示2009年其全国铸件 生产总量为1,000,000吨。黑色金属铸件占据了产品的 绝大部分（95.5%），而有色金属铸件自2002年以来增 长了42.9%。
塞尔维亚：多年来由于国家的混乱，该国的铸造活 动被迫停止或者受到严重牵制。从1990到1999年该国 的经济衰减一半。自那时起，塞尔维亚在不断取得进 展。2008年塞尔维亚铸造者协会成立。从生产吨数来 看，该国铸件产量的81%为黑色金属铸件，19%为有色 金属铸件。平均工厂产量为2,345吨。 蒙古：蒙古超过2/3的出口是面向南部的邻国中
While gray iron con- tinues to make up the largest piece of the global production pie, its slice is growing smaller. Since 1999, gray iron pro- duction worldwide has increased 9.3%. Compare that with a 39.6% increase in ductile iron production, 50% growth in steel production, and a 41.1% increase in nonfer- rous production.
全世界65%的铁铸件 为灰铁铸件，而球墨 铸铁占35%。但是这 种不均等分布并不是 在每个国家都存在。 在排名前五的铸件生 产国中，美国生产的 球墨铸铁比灰铁更 多，而俄罗斯与日本 比中国和印度显示出 了在两种材料之间较 小的差距。
