This is a list of prices of chemical elements. Listed here are mainly average market prices for bulk trade of commodities. Data on elements' abundance in Earth's crust is added for comparison. As of 2020, the most expensive non-synthetic element by both mass and volume is rhodium.
Aluminum Corporation of China (Chinalco) is a state-backed holding company established to be the primary aluminium producer in the People's Republic of China in 2001. [6] It is the parent company of Aluminum Corporation of China Limited (Chalco) which is listed on the New York, Hong Kong and Shanghai stock exchanges. [6]

Aluminum can prices vary by region and are based on weight. The average recycling value per pound of cans in the U.S. is currently $0.56. How many aluminum cans are in a pound?
A billet is a length of metal that has a round or square cross-section, with an area less than 36 in 2 (230 cm 2). Billets are created directly via continuous casting or extrusion or indirectly via hot rolling an ingot or bloom. [1] [2] [4] Billets are further processed via profile rolling and drawing. Final products include bar stock and wire. [3]

440 series has three types: 440A, 440B, and 440C. 440A is a relatively low-cost, highly corrosion-resistant stainless steel. In China, A honest Changjiang Stainless Steel developed 7Cr17MoV, a modified 440A, by adding more Vanadium. [34] 440B is almost identical to 440A but has a higher carbon content range compared to 440A.
The direct chill method sprays water onto the hot metal as it exits the mold, quickly chilling it into a solid billet form. [13] For ingots, book molds are often used, producing slabbed ingots suitable for remelting or rolling. [14] Continuous casting directly shapes the aluminium into rolling slabs without an intermediate ingot casting step.
