was formed. The country’s casting industry is 81% fer- rous and 19% nonferrous by tonnage produced. Produc- tion per plant is 2,345 tons. Mongolia: More than two-thirds of all of Mongolia’s


exports go to China, its neighbor to the south. Its largest cast- ing market is steel, which makes up 81.6% of total production.


Economic Woes With the exception of a few nations, the global casting


industry reported a dip in production in 2009. But some countries fared worse than others. Russia: From 2007 to 2009, Russia’s production


decreased by 46.2%, from 7.8 million tons to 4.2 million tons. The third largest casting producing nation in 2007, Russia has since fallen behind India and Japan. It saw a reduction of 300 metalcasting facilities in 2009. Finland: In one year, Finland’s casting production was cut in half, from 152,888 tons to 75,741 tons. Casting production value decreased 46% to $350 million. Zero metalcasting facilities closed, according to the European Foundry Assocation, but employment in the industry constricted by 700—15.7% of the workforce. Czech Republic: The nation’s production fell 49.5%


from 536,789 tons to 270,970 tons. Productivity dropped from 2,684 tons/plant to 1,505 tons/plant.


Regional Production Europe’s total production fell 31.5% since 2008 and


consisted of 12 million tons in 2009; North America’s production of 9.6 million tons was a 28.5% drop. North and Southeast Asia fared best, with India (7.4 million tons), China (35.3 million tons) and Korea (2.1 million tons) showing gains in 2009.

经济灾难


在2009年,除少数国家外,全球铸造行业报告铸件 产量出现了衰退,其中一些国家尤其严重。 俄罗斯:从2007年到2009年,俄罗斯产量减少了 46.2%,从7,800,000吨下降到4,200,000吨。这个 2007年的第三大铸件生产国家已经跌至印度和日本之 后。2009年它的铸造工厂减少了300家。 芬兰:一年内,芬兰铸件产量削减了一半,从 152,888吨减少到75,741吨。铸造产值减少了46%,仅为 $350,000,000。基于欧洲铸造协会的数据,芬兰金属铸 造厂并没有减少,但是行业雇佣员工数量缩减了700,占 工人总数的15.7%。


捷克共和国:该国的铸件产量跌落了49.5%,从 536,789吨减少至270,970吨。生产能力从平均每个工 厂2,684吨跌至1,505吨。


地区产量


欧洲2009年总产量为12,000,000吨,相比2008 年减少31.5%。北美总产量为9,600,000吨,减少了 28.5%。在亚洲,北亚和东南亚发展得最好,其中印 度(7,400,000吨)、中国(35,300,000吨)和韩国 (2,100,000吨),在2009年均有增长。
