Development of aluminum alloy materials towards aerospace
Aviation aluminum alloy material is a strategic project supported by the state. It is also an important part of the state to promote supply-side structural reform and implement new and old kinetic energy conversion. SDNS Aluminum relies on its strong technology, experience, and talent accumulation to integrate its own innovation and development with Combining the national 13th five-year development strategy, the project of technological transformation of high-strength, high-toughness and high-end aluminum alloy production lines for aerospace is underway.
SDNS Aluminum Co., Ltd. was established in 1993. At present, the company has first-class research and development institutions such as the National Technology Center Aeronautical Materials Research Institute, nationally recognized laboratories, post-doctoral workstations, and the only “National Aluminum Alloy Pressure Processing Engineering Technology in the domestic aluminum processing industry” Research center".
At present, SDNS Aluminum has achieved mass supply in high-end, high-value-added aviation and automotive aluminum materials, and orders have continued to grow, realizing breakthroughs in key technologies for aviation and automotive aluminum alloy materials and complete independent supply of materials. The SDNS Aviation Material Industrial Park, under its subsidiary, has completed 16 high-end aluminum processing and manufacturing projects, including precision forgings for aerospace and special aluminum alloys with large specifications. After the industrial park is completed, it will become the world's largest aerospace and new energy vehicle aluminum alloy material processing and manufacturing base.
Join hands with world-class aviation companies
"Putting wings on an airplane" is not a big word for SDNS Aluminum. At present, SDNS Aluminum has officially become a member of the world's most advanced aerospace material supplier club and the first domestic manufacturer of four-door, two-cover aluminum sheet for passenger cars. Achieved batch supply for world-class companies such as Boeing, Airbus, GM, and BMW. In 2017, the company's total assets were 46.04 billion yuan, sales revenue was 17.07 billion yuan, and net profit was 1.72 billion yuan.
Among them, the aviation material industry park's medium and thick plate project introduced world-class melting, 1 + 5 hot rolling production line, cold rolling production line and supporting heat treatment and finishing equipment. The first phase production capacity is 200,000 tons. And high-end aviation, new energy vehicles with aluminum materials. It officially passed the Boeing certification in 2017 to achieve bulk supply. In June this year, it successfully achieved the expansion of the range of plate certification specifications and signed a long-term supply contract with Boeing for the next 5 years. It is also Airbus, COMAC, and AVIC. Qualified suppliers of Bombardier.
In addition, its forging project introduces world-class free forging production lines and die forging hydraulic production lines, and is equipped with first-class forging after-treatment equipment such as heating furnaces, heat treatment furnaces, and chemical etching. Among them, the introduction of 150,000 tons of die forging hydraulic presses made in Germany is currently domestic The die forging hydraulic press with the first forging capability and the highest accuracy. The main products are high-end aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, high-temperature alloys and alloy steel forgings, covering civil aviation, marine, nuclear power, petrochemical, oil and gas and other fields, including large-scale high-end products such as aircraft frames, beams, engine turbine disks, landing gear, and gas turbines. At present, it has been put into full production, and has signed supply contracts for disc and shaft forgings for aircraft engines and forging gears for aircraft landing gear with Rolls-Royce of the United Kingdom and Safran of France, and is actively promoting trial production of products. It is expected to pass certification and supply in batches within the year.
In terms of automotive panels, SDNS Aluminum has become the first domestic manufacturer of four-door, two-cover aluminum panels for passenger cars, achieving bulk supply to domestic Chery New Energy and the United States Tesla. The export volume of automotive panels in 2017 exceeded 10,000 tons; and The qualified suppliers of German BMW and SAIC-GM are actively promoting the certification of mainstream auto OEMs such as Mercedes-Benz and FAW-Volkswagen.
Striving for the world's advanced aviation materials supplier
With the continuous growth of orders for aluminum plates for aviation and automobiles, SDNS Aluminum started the construction of the second phase of medium and heavy plate at an appropriate time, and added hot rolling, double-stand cold continuous rolling and supporting stretching, aging, Supporting equipment, such as continuous withdrawal lines, has completed the bidding and contract signing of imported main equipment. It is currently in the stage of equipment manufacturing and civil construction. Some equipment has begun installation and commissioning. It is expected that it will be fully put into operation at the end of 2019.
Regardless of the size of the product, the technical content is the key. In addition to aerospace and other aluminum alloy plates, cans such as inconspicuous aluminum can packaging products also have very high technical content. In the past, the domestic market has been monopolized by foreign companies. Nanshan Aluminum took the lead in breaking the monopoly in this area. Occupy the market leading position and fight for the main drafting right of relevant product standards.
SDNS Aviation Material Industrial Park is just a microcosm of the development of our city's aerospace industry. At present, our city has more than 10 aviation-related enterprises including SDNS Aluminum, 513 Institute of China Aerospace Science and Technology Group, and other fields in aviation aluminum profiles, titanium fasteners, avionics equipment, sound-absorbing insulation materials, coatings, etc. High R & D and production capacity has also been widely used in China's aerospace field.
In the future, SDNS Aluminum will combine its own innovative development with the national 13th five-year development strategy, continue to promote transformation and upgrade, and firmly follow the high-end manufacturing route. The goal is to become a world-leading qualified supplier of aviation materials and a world-class aluminum processing company. Actively promote the transformation and upgrading of China's aluminum processing industry, and make greater contributions to the conversion of old and new kinetic energy in Shandong Province and to achieve high-quality development.
