[China Aluminum Industry Network] A stove, a pile of river sand, and several molds form a booth for making aluminum products. With the development of society, fewer and fewer people are engaged in this line and the demand is decreasing. However, in the Yushu Prefecture, this traditional method of hand-casting aluminum pots is still very popular. “With the advancement of science and technology, our traditional handicraft skills have become more and more difficult to do. People would rather buy stainless steel pots that are both good looking and lightweight, rather than buying our bulky, unattractive aluminum pans. "Yang Master, who is doing aluminum products business, has shown true ideas. In the past, Master Yang walked down the street for ordinary people to pour aluminum pots, aluminum pots and other household daily necessities. Whenever he reached a village, he would ask the villagers for scrap aluminum pots, aluminum pans, cans and other waste aluminum products, and put the waste products into the The smelting furnace is fired to a temperature of more than 1200 degrees to produce aluminum water, and then impurities are removed. After purification, the aluminum water is poured into the required template, and an aluminum pan and aluminum pan identical to the model are poured. According to Master Yang, although the industry has become increasingly unappealing, there are still people who like the aluminum products made by this method of casting. This is because the technology produced by this process is cheap and practical. First of all, from the source of aluminum, aluminum is usually chosen to clean their own aluminum, and the composition of the aluminum made by the machine is more complicated; Second, the aluminum pan made by itself is relatively heavy, cooking is not easy to paste, and the machine is made of The pot is generally thin at the end of the pan and does not fall. With the development of science and technology and the advancement of society, many manual craftsmen indispensable to daily life are quietly exiting the stage of history. The replacement of technology by hand with technology and the replacement of modern times by the past are irresistible laws of history. In the face of these handicraft techniques that are about to disappear, people should retain more respect.
