Non-ferrous metals are the basic materials for national economic development, and most industries such as aviation, aerospace, automobile, machinery manufacturing, electric power, communication, construction, household appliances and so on are based on non-ferrous metals. With the rapid development of modern chemical industry, agriculture and science and technology, non-ferrous metals are playing an increasingly important role in human development. It is not only an important strategic material and an important means of production in the world, but also an indispensable means of consumption in human life.
