第48届世界铸件产量普查：全球产量稳定增长 2013年，世界铸件产量持续增长，共增加300多万吨，比2012年增长3.3%。
《现代铸造》报道
103.2 million metric tons of metal castings produced in 2013 represents an increase of 3.43 million tons. Tis rate of growth is a slight bump up from 2012’s 2.4% boost. Of the 31 countries that provided data for the past two
I
years, 18 reported a contraction in annual volumes when com- paring 2013 to 2012. Poland increased its production by 18%, with gains across the board in terms of alloys. On the red side of the ledger, Pakistan saw the largest decline in production, with its metalcasting industry contracting by 23.2%. Among the top-10 countries in total output, Brazil had the highest boost in 2013 with an increase of 6.9% in production. Te rebound came a year after South America’s only entry in the global survey saw a 16.9% decrease in total production. China increased its total production by two million metric
tons to a total of 44.5 million. Tat boost represents a large majority of the overall increase in global production, mean- ing China continued to increase its share of the global market. Meanwhile, the U.S., the world’s second largest producer, saw its tonnage increase by 3.9% to 12.25 million metric tons. While the top two producing nations saw increases, other top metalcasting countries had production headed south in 2013. France, Germany and Russia reported 3% to 5% decreases. India remained No. 3 in total production at 9.81 million
tons. Spots 4 through 10 remained unchanged, with Japan producing 5.54 million metric tons, Germany 5.19 million, Russia 4.1 million, Brazil 3.07 million, Korea 2.56 mil- lion, Italy 1.97 million and France 1.75 million. Te top-10 nations produced 88% of the world’s castings, a figure that remains unchanged from 2012. Te U.S. saw a 4.4% increase in its productivity per site, with its 2,001 metalcasting facilities averaging 6,122 metric tons. Germany, the world leader in per plant production at 8,659, experienced a negligible increase of 41 metric tons per plant. China and India, the two countries with the greatest number of facilities, reported gains of 4.73% and 2.7%. Productivity is calculated as total tonnage divided by the number of plants reported. Total production of iron increased, with gray iron growing
4.6%, and ductile iron expanding by 1.3%, while malleable iron fell 27.1%. Steel output dropped by 0.1%, while alumi-
n 2013, global production increased to more than 103 million metric tons, an increase of 3.4% when compared to the previous year, according to this year’s MODERN CASTING Census of World Casting Production. Te

据今年《现代铸造》杂志进行的世界铸件 产量普查，2013年，全球铸件产量已超过 1.03亿吨，比去年增长了2.04%。在经历
了2008-2009年的大幅下滑后，铸造行业在2年内复苏 并超过了衰退前的产量。2013年的铸件产量为1.03亿 吨，比2012年增加196万吨，增速为2%，与2012年的 2.3%保持了同等水平。
共有30个国家提供了过去2年的产量数据，其中18 个国家2013年的产量比2012年有所减少。克罗地亚由 于铝铸件的快速增长，铸件产量大幅提高，增长了近 32%。而另一方面，巴基斯坦产量大幅下滑，行业规模 锐减23.2%。在总产量前10名的国家中，巴西的增速最 快，为6.9%。作为南美地区唯一参加普查的国家，巴西 2013年的产量回升仅仅用了一年时间，而之前巴西的总 产量锐减达16.9%。
中国的总产量达到4450万吨，增长了200万吨，高于 全球增速，也意味着作为世界第一大铸件生产国，中国 扩大了其在全球市场中的份额。同时，世界第二大铸件 生产国美国的总产量为1280万吨，减少4.7%。美国是 2013年排名前几位铸件大国中产量下滑的其中一个。法 国、德国和俄罗斯的铸件产量也减少了3-5%。 印度的总产量为934万吨，仍处于第三位。第4名到 第10名顺序不变，日本为554万吨，德国为519万吨， 俄罗斯410万吨，巴西307万吨，韩国256万吨，意大利 197万吨，法国175万吨。十大铸件生产国产量占世界 总产量的86%，比2012年的88%略有下降。 美国的2001家铸造企业的平均产量为6122吨，平均 每个企业减少了4%的产量。德国的平均产量最高，每 个企业平均产量为8659吨，略增41吨。 中国和印度的铸造企业数量最多，分别增加4.73%和 减少2.2%。生产率由总产量除以企业数量得出。 铸铁总产量增加，灰铁增长了3%，球墨铸铁减少
