41% from 2009 to 2010, and Taiwan coming in at 11% vs. 42% from 2009 to 2010. Te U.S. narrowly overtook India on this year’s top 10 list,


regaining the 2nd spot, while the remaining cast metal produc- ing country rankings are the same. China is number one, having produced 41.3 million metric tons in 2011. Te U.S. produced 10 million metric tons, followed closely by India at 9.9 million metric tons. Japan closely surpassed Germany with 5.47 metric tons. Russia, Brazil, Korea, Italy and France occupy spots six through 10 on the list. Te top 10 nations produced 88% of the total global castings, as in 2009 and 2010. Production per plant is another area where gains in the


U.S. are showing, at 24.5% vs. 2010 (4,979 metric tons per plant). Germany’s productivity increased significantly, also, at 14.4%. Germany remains the most productive country at 8,933 metric tons per plant. Asia suffered a dip in productiv- ity, with China down 9.7% and Japan dropping 12%. Produc- tivity is calculated as total tonnage divided by the number of plants reported. Gray iron continues to comprise 48% of the world’s fer-


rous metal castings vs. 25% ductile iron and 10% steel. Of the nonferrous metals, aluminum takes the lion’s share at 13% of the global total. Nonferrous castings overall increased by more than 1 million tons. Te data reported in the 46th


Census of World Casting


Production is supplied by each nation’s metalcasting asso- ciation or similar representatives. Countries that did not participate this year were Croatia, Mexico, Mongolia and the Ukraine. Tese countries remain listed according to the last year they participated. Slovakia has returned to the list, this year, producing 71,000 metric tons. Its metalcasting output has increased 56% since 2008, with the majority of its tonnage in alu- minum (46,000 metric tons). Its iron production trends to ductile at 18,200 metric tons vs. 2,700 metric tons gray iron.


Economic Rebound Global casting produc-


tion has returned to pre-2008 levels, but some countries continue to lag. Despite a devastating tsunami and nuclear disaster, Japan showed 15% growth in 2011, yet the country remains below its 2008 level. Among the other top 10 producers, U.S. casting volumes have not yet exceeded the 2008 figure. Russia remains significantly


Gray iron (the calculation in- cludes malleable iron) continues to be the largest contributing material to global production, at 47.3 million of the 98.6 million- ton total. Ductile iron remained close to 2010 levels and steel showed a slight decrease in ton- nage, while nonferrous materials increased by more than 1 million metric tons.


第二位，其余铸件生产国排名与上一年相同。中国位列 第一，2011年产量达4130万吨。美国2011产量1000 万吨，紧随其后的是印度的990万吨。日本以547万吨 的年产量略微超过德国。俄罗斯、巴西、韩国、意大 利、日本分别位列6至10位。年产量前十位的国家产量 总和占全球总产量的88%，此数据与2009年与2010的 相同。


厂均年产量是美国铸造行业统计数据增长的又一领 域，相比2010年增长24.5%（厂均年产量4,979吨）， 德国厂均年产量增长显著，为14.4%。德国依旧是厂均 年产量最高的国家，即年产8,933吨。此项数据在亚洲 持续走低，中国和日本分别下降9.7%及12%。厂均年 产量数值为年度总产量除以铸造企业总数得来。 灰铁铸件依然占全球黑色金属铸件产量的48%，与其 相比，球墨铸铁件产量占25%，铸钢件占10%。有色金 属方面，铝合金铸件以全球总量的13%占据主导地位。 全球有色金属铸件年增产超过100万吨。 第46届全球铸件产量普查的统计数据由各国铸造协 会或是与行业协会类似的机构提供。克罗地亚、墨西 哥、蒙古及乌克兰等国未参加此次普查，这些国家的产 量依旧为上一年所提供的数据。


斯洛文尼亚此次回到了统计名单中，2011年产量为 71,000吨，相比2008年增长56%，其中铝合金铸件占 大部分（46,000吨）。球墨铸铁件产量18,200吨，灰 铁件2,700吨。


经济复苏


全球铸件产量已经恢复到2008年以前的水平，但是 有些国家仍然增长缓慢。 日本尽管经历了海啸及核 事故等毁灭性的灾害，然 而2011年铸件产量还是增 长了15%，但仍低于2008 年的产量。在其他铸件产 量前十位国家中，美国也 未能超越2008年的水平。 俄罗斯2011年的产量与 2008的产量还相距甚远。


灰铸铁件（包含可锻铸铁）在 世界铸件总产量中贡献最大， 在9860万吨的总量中4730万 吨为灰铁铸件。球墨铸铁件保 持了2010年时的产量水平，铸 钢件产量略有下降，有色金属 铸件增产超过100万吨
