According to the preliminary judgment on site, the cause of the explosion accident is that the aluminum water leaked into the cooling pool during the casting process of the aluminum rod. Industry insiders said that under high temperature conditions, the chemical reaction between aluminum water and steam will produce hydrogen. When the hydrogen concentration reaches a certain proportion and encounters high-temperature aluminum alloy solution, it will explode. Multiple videos at the scene showed that mushroom clouds more than 10 meters high rose in the air at the time of the explosion Guangdong Haomei New Materials Co.Ltd(002988) said that the damaged houses and equipment were mainly the melting and casting workshop of exquisite special materials, and other workshops and production processes were not affected. At the same time, the company has taken out relevant property insurance and reported the case to the insurance company.
