Mingtai Aluminum: Advancing into Solid-State Batteries for Growth

2025-05-28 13:57:56

Amid the global energy transition and the “dual-carbon” goals, the aluminum processing industry is rapidly advancing toward high-end and green development. Mingtai Aluminum (601677.SH) has adopted a “three-pronged” strategy—technology R&D, capacity upgrades, and green transformation—focusing on high-end intelligent manufacturing and low-carbon circular economy. The company is accelerating its evolution into a globally leading green aluminum processor, characterized by high-end production, sustainability, digital intelligence, lean operations, international reach, and service excellence.  

Solid-state batteries, with their high safety and energy density, are regarded as the next-generation core battery technology. Aluminum, with its lightweight, cost-effective, and recyclable properties, offers irreplaceable advantages in solid-state battery packaging and electrode structures. Mingtai Aluminum has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Peng Hui Energy, deepening its presence in cutting-edge fields like solid-state batteries and sodium-ion batteries, providing full-chain material support for solid-state battery projects. The company’s self-developed 8021 and 8079 alloy aluminum-plastic film foils, known for their dual-core performance of high barrier and superior surface quality, have gained industry recognition. These products, manufactured through hot rolling and precision cold rolling, feature moisture resistance, airtightness, and light-blocking properties, meeting global certification standards (GB, ASTM, EN, etc.) and fulfilling the complex shape requirements of solid-state batteries.

In the battery sector, Mingtai Aluminum has built a comprehensive product ecosystem, ranging from battery casings to trays, including:  

3003 power battery shell/cover material  

5182 high-strength, high-formability top cover plate  

5083 separator material (battery side plate)  

6061 PACK frame  

For efficient thermal management in new energy batteries and energy storage systems, the company has developed 314, 4/317, and 4/6/3/7 series aluminum alloy brazing composites, offering lightweight, high strength, corrosion resistance, and superior heat dissipation. These can be customized to meet client needs, supporting integrated stamping of complex flow channels and providing solutions for:  

– Battery pack liquid cooling plates  

– Motor controller heat dissipation modules  

– Energy storage system thermal management  

– Photovoltaic inverter cooling components  

On the production capacity front, Mingtai’s subsidiary Yirui New Materials operates a high-end, green, and smart integrated factory, with its intelligent 1+4 hot continuous rolling line catering to new energy batteries and automotive lightweighting. Meanwhile, the company’s Hongsheng New Materials project—”Aluminum Industrial Park for Automotive and Green Energy Applications”—will invest in high-end equipment such as heat treatment systems (air-floating furnaces, roller-hearth furnaces) and chemical surface treatment lines, targeting markets in robotics, low-altitude economy, aerospace & defense, new energy, and automotive exterior panels. This initiative aims to build an emerging industrial ecosystem, expand high-end product lines, and strategically secure future growth opportunities, fostering a second growth curve.  

With innovation at its core and sustainability as its foundation, Mingtai Aluminum is unlocking new growth potential through industrial chain collaboration. By leveraging “high-end intelligent manufacturing + low-carbon circular economy”, the company continues to expand into cutting-edge fields, pushing boundaries in advanced manufacturing and demonstrating strong strategic resolve in its high-quality transformation.
