A few days ago, Xinjiang Technology (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Xinjiang Technology)’s new titanium alloy material project for China’s aerospace equipment in Haimen was selected as a major project in Jiangsu Province in 2022. “The launch of the titanium alloy project will improve the industrial chain of our products and bring new output value to the company.” Wang Baobing, manager of the company’s security department, said that the project is under preparation and is expected to start in June, and the equipment installation and commissioning will be completed by the end of 2023. Full production by the end of the year.
It is understood that the company’s second-phase titanium alloy project is an expansion of the first-phase magnesium alloy new material precision forming project. “At present, the first phase of the project has been stabilized. The focus of the second half is to break through the magnesium alloy market and reach the initial target. The other is the construction of the titanium alloy project.” Xinjiang Technology Party Branch Secretary and Deputy General Manager Wang Xiaodong said.
According to reports, titanium and titanium alloys have high specific strength, high specific stiffness, good corrosion resistance and normal temperature and high temperature performance. They are the preferred structural materials for lightweight defense weapons and equipment, and are widely used in aviation, aerospace, navigation and other military industries. And petroleum, chemical, pharmaceutical, sports and other civil fields.
Shanghai Institute of Aerospace Precision Machinery has a history of more than 60 years in light alloy casting. The casting technology of magnesium alloy and titanium alloy is at the domestic leading level, and it has mastered key technologies such as the research and development of advanced titanium alloy materials and the precision forming of large and complex thin-walled components. In the field of light alloys, the institute has successively won the first prize of the National Technology Invention Award, the first prize of the National Defense Science and Technology Progress Award, and the first prize of the China Aerospace Science and Technology Group Science and Technology Progress Award. It has more than 20 authorized invention patents and has compiled industry standards. 10 items.
The second phase of the new titanium alloy material project for aerospace equipment to be built by the institute will be invested and constructed by the Shanghai Institute of Aerospace Precision Machinery of China Aerospace Science and Technology Group Co., Ltd., with a total investment of about 2 billion yuan. It mainly builds an automatic production line for precision forming of titanium alloys, an automatic production line for precision machining of titanium alloy structural parts, an automatic integrated production line for advanced composite materials, and a production line for the preparation of high-performance heat and heat insulation materials, forming an integrated capability of design, simulation, manufacturing, testing, and test verification. .
It is understood that after the completion of the project, it can form an annual production capacity of 150 tons of high-end titanium alloy structural parts for aviation and aerospace, and at the same time, it will bring about 500 million yuan in output value to the company.
