In the modern industrial system, alloys are indispensable and important materials for all walks of life. However, compared with traditional alloy metals, in the fields of aero engine blades, new generation fighter fuselages and civil airliners, carbon fiber is far superior to alloys due to its performance and low performance. The quality characteristics are moving towards the trend of becoming a new industrial material in the future.
Recently, China’s leading carbon fiber technology companies have reported that high-end carbon fiber has overcome the news. The polyacrylonitrile-based hollow carbon fiber successfully produced by ZKSX Carbon Fiber Technology Group has passed the acceptance. China is also officially listed as the third country alongside Japan and Germany in the field of polyacrylonitrile-based carbon fibers.
New T-1000 grade ultra-high strength carbon fiber
Polyacrylonitrile-based carbon fiber, as a new type of T-1000 ultra-high-strength carbon fiber that China has conquered, is also a new type of hollow carbon fiber. Its comprehensive performance is better than T800 carbon fiber. It is another important breakthrough in China's carbon fiber materials field. Nowadays, looking at the global carbon fiber market, its technology and processing technology are basically monopolized by the United States and Japan. In the export of T800 and T1000 ultra-high-strength carbon fibers, the companies of the two countries have always maintained a technological monopoly on China. But in contrast, China is advancing the progress of carbon fiber research and development at the national level, and is gradually closing the gap with the United States and Japan in the field of carbon fiber.
In the statistics of global carbon fiber production in 2018, China, the United States and Japan accounted for 66% of global carbon fiber production with 35,600 tons, 37,300 tons and 26,800 tons respectively. It can be seen that China has surpassed Japan in production. However, in the field of ultra-high-strength high-end carbon fiber, the world’s largest carbon fiber company is Japan’s Toray Group, which has become the world’s veritable carbon fiber hegemon due to the 50-year order from Boeing of the United States. This is also because Japan has since 1959. The result of the development of carbon fiber technology. Although China started the research and development of carbon fiber in the early 1960s, it was in the 1970s that carbon fiber was born from scratch.
China's 863 plan at the beginning of this century included high-end carbon fiber research and development
China's emergence in the global high-end carbon fiber field began when it was promoted by Academician Shi Changxu in the early 21st century and was selected into the National 863 Program in 2002. Since then, China has invested large-scale capital and R&D power in the development and manufacturing of carbon fiber, and various types of ultra-high-strength carbon fibers have continued to break through.
China's carbon fiber began to have an impact on the traditional carbon fiber powerhouses, the United States and Japan, and became the third country in the world for carbon fiber. The polyacrylonitrile-based hollow carbon fiber that ZKSX conquered this time is just the scientific research result of the development of high-end carbon fiber technology in recent years. Previously, only two companies in the world, BASF of Germany and Toray of Japan, have mastered core technologies.
