The most powerful "heavy transport aircraft" Antonov 158 aircraft uses high-strength and tough titanium alloys developed by Chinese titanium alloy technology companies
Ukraine’s aviation industry is world-renowned, especially the heavy transport aircraft they produce. The bullet-proof doors, hydraulic cylinders, high-strength aviation fasteners and other components on the aircraft are very important, and they require very high levels of material strength.
NBWZ Advanced Alloy Materials Technology Co., Ltd. focused its attention on this new aviation material, which is full of black technology.
In February 2015, NBWZ was established and began to develop the FT series of high-strength and toughness titanium alloy materials. At the same time, there is also a whole team of 16 Ukrainian titanium alloy experts. Among them, there are 4 academicians.
Speaking of the original intention of the cooperation, Ye Hongguang, the head of NBWZ, explained that he saw that international production capacity cooperation has become the "outlet" that is being pursued by various places. Ukraine’s aviation industry is world-renowned, and not only is it the only 9 in the world that can design their own It is also one of the countries that produce aircraft and also has aviation industry experts accounting for about 5.5% of the world. The introduction can not only optimize industrial cluster planning, but also promote industrial transformation and upgrading and economic structure optimization.
In just a few years, the NBWZ team successfully developed the "easy to weld high-strength aviation titanium alloy" material with independent property rights, which was included in the Antonov 158 aircraft as a bulletproof material, hydraulic cylinder material, and high-strength aviation fastener material Supply catalog, and guaranteed the supply of aviation materials for 5 aircraft.
What is the magic of the "easy to weld high-strength and tough aviation titanium alloy" material?
NBWZ has developed special heat treatment equipment, which means that it can complete rapid heating and rapid cooling in just a few seconds, thereby changing the molecular structure of the material and meeting the requirements of high strength. The strength of aviation fasteners made of this material can be greater than 1350MPA.
From July 7 this year, the "easy-weld high-toughness aviation titanium alloy materials" developed by NBWZ and other types of aviation titanium alloy materials will be supplied to Ukrainian Antonov state-owned enterprises for the protection of An-124 "Ruslan "Repair of heavy transport aircraft.
The company has developed close cooperation with ZJSJ Titanium Industry Co., Ltd. to jointly expand the domestic titanium alloy sheet, pipe, wire rod and powder metallurgy industries.
