On May 24th, in the newly built 70,000 square meters workshop of NTYT Light Alloy Technology Group, advanced smelting furnaces, extrusion production lines and other deep processing production equipment are being debugged, and some equipment has been put into operation. In the first-phase plant, high-strength and high-toughness aluminum alloy profiles are being produced continuously.
NTYT has carried out joint technology research and development with Central South University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Jiangsu University and other universities. After several years of research and development, the high-strength and high-toughness aluminum alloy profiles produced are widely used in Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi and other famous car companies, with a market share of 70 % —80%.
As an internationally well-known manufacturer of automotive aluminum alloy precision parts and materials, and precision aluminum alloy forgings, NTYT company accounts for more than 4% of the annual R & D investment and built a provincial light alloy engineering technology research center. The center has 10 invention patents and more than 80 utility model patents. Among them, the nano-reinforced aluminum alloy extruded material technology used in the body is listed as a key project of the National Natural Science Foundation of China and has been funded.
"The high-strength aluminum alloy developed by the company can reduce the weight of the car body by 30%, improve the cruising range and reduce the fuel consumption." Li Qirong, Minister of Technology Department of NTYT told reporters, "We have also increased the stiffness of the material by 30% and increased it. Collision resistance improves the safety performance and safety indicators of automobiles. Our aluminum alloys are more and more widely used in the automobile industry. "
In recent years, NTYT is based on the development status of the global automotive industry, focusing on the development of automotive lightweight technology. Through years of research and development and production, it has accurately mastered the production technology of aluminum alloy extrusion materials. In 2016, the company started the second-phase construction of lightweight and environmentally friendly aluminum alloy materials. In May this year, the project has been partially put into production.
"In 2018, we got the provincial scientific and technological achievements transformation project to produce aluminum used in the body. After several years of technical reserves, we have achieved small batch production," Pu Jianying introduced. NTYT invests nearly 4% of its annual sales revenue in technology R & D and extends its business to high value-added industries such as aerospace.
"Originally, we predicted that the use of the second phase and the accumulation of new projects should have a relatively large growth this year." We will spend 5-10 years to dig deeper into the aerospace field and develop new products that are compatible with this market. Products, and strive to achieve the aerospace sector and the automotive sector go hand in hand. "
