China to open the door of high-end titanium
Titanium alloys are used in aerospace, shipbuilding, chemical industry, metallurgy, medical treatment and other fields because of its high strength, good corrosion resistance and high heat resistance. Due to the aviation industry in China started late, space with high-end titanium consumption is always in a low level, and the current high-end titanium technology to grasp the main in the U. S., Japan, Russia and other countries, with higher market monopoly and restricts our country current high-end titanium using the scope and scale. "Made in China" 2025 clearly, to rely more on China's equipment, relying on the Chinese brand. The landing of the policy for the enterprise pointed out the direction of development, indicating that Chinese manufacturing has been swept away. Titanium and as to create high-end equipment indispensable elements, the titanium industry in China will be manufactured in China "breeze" usher in a new round of development.
June 1 to 7 days, developed by Baoji Titanium group of 4500 meters deep diving submersible titanium alloy manned spherical tank, participated in the theme "innovation driven development, science and technology leading the future" country "1025" scientific and technological innovation achievements exhibition, General Secretary Xi Jinping, Li Keqiang, the prime minister etc. national leadership in watching the exhibition of Baoji Titanium developed manned submersibles titanium alloy ball class fully affirmed. 4500 submersible titanium alloy manned spherical tank, complete with independent intellectual property rights, to achieve the localization of key parts, in the strong support of the relevant state ministries and commissions and achieved a historic breakthrough in. The project has broken through the wide titanium alloy plate development, development of Ti alloy hemispherical integral forming, special wire and narrow gap welding process, titanium alloy component electron beam welding process, a ball body heat treatment and machining deformation of a number of key technologies, to fill the domestic blank submersible and titanium alloy research field number, and reached the international advanced level.
4500 meters deep diving submersible titanium alloy manned spherical tank for national leaders attention and attention in the development of titanium industry is for the first time. This is not only for the nonferrous metals industry, but also have high hopes of titanium industry, but also of Baoji Titanium Industry Science and technology innovation and the development of China Titanium Industry great inspiration.
Baoji Titanium Group continuously improve R & D and manufacturing ability, adhere to scientific and technological innovation, not only in the field of marine to achieve results, recently in terms of technology and the new breakthrough to produce the largest specifications of TC4 seamless, fill the blank of the domestic market for high-end high caliber. BaoTi development train of thought, and strive to develop new products move, can be seen, the high-end titanium market has become a direction of market demand and business development. As the industry's big brother companies are constantly follow the footsteps of the market, and strive to find a place in the high-end titanium market. Western superconducting as China's aviation titanium alloy rod and wire main R & D and production base, relying on the Northwest Institute for nonferrous metal research, independent research and development and mass production of air a variety of new titanium alloy, continue to China's military and civilian aircraft parts made in China to become our country new aircraft and aircraft with a major supplier of titanium alloy. At present, Western titanium industry enterprise technology and equipment strength in the continuous upgrading, visible, with high-end titanium demand growth in the future, enhance the localization rate, will give more with market competitiveness of enterprises will bring more opportunities for development.
Chinese manufacturing is not only in the enterprise's participation in an orderly manner, and can not be separated from the pay of research institutions. June 21. Nanjing Science and Technology University held a news conference, the school professor Chen Guang team developed a new titanium aluminum alloy bearing temperature can reach more than 900 DEG, than existing engine key components of high temperature resistant ability to raise more than 150 DEG C to 250 DEG C. The team under the national "973 Plan" funding, design a new member of the family of Ti Al alloy poly bimorph titanium aluminum single crystal "(PST TiAl crystal), not only the strength, plasticity is greatly enhanced and high temperature resistant ability. This will greatly promote the application of titanium aluminum alloy in the aircraft engine, improve the performance of the engine, the day will be in the heart of the air on the Chinese made brand.
Titanium got a plane, under the ocean, while in the automotive, nuclear power, equipment manufacturing and other areas of application will do one step to expand. Titanium is an important basis for the development of aerospace, new energy, energy saving and environmental protection and advanced equipment manufacturing and other emerging industries of strategic materials, in our country "45" planning (outline), titanium industry has been listed as countries in the future the focus of the development of strategic emerging industries, titanium and titanium alloy manufacturing enterprises will took the opportunity to "high-end titanium" wind to seize the opportunity and on.
Research mode boost the development of high-end titanium material
Baoji is the titanium industry in China is gathered, in order to give full play to the geographic advantage, initiated by the Baoji high tech Zone, Baoji Titanium Group, Northwest Institute for nonferrous metal research, AVIC first aircraft design and Research Institute of six units absorb enterprises, universities, scientific research institutions, such as the establishment of the titanium industry alliance. Under the guidance of the titanium industry alliance, there are more than and 400 titanium processing enterprises through scientific and technological innovation support, set up a platform and other initiatives. In the promotion of the alliance, a number of new products, new technologies have appeared, and to enter the middle and high end, to enhance the core competitiveness of enterprises.
Baoji Euroasian company 2015 R & D and production of a light weight, high strength and resistance to high temperature of rotary wing aircraft titanium alloy frame, and plans within five years, formed an annual output of 80 aircraft titanium alloy rotor machine production capacity, sales income of 1.5 billion yuan. In addition, in small and medium enterprises titanium production of titanium alloy helmet, glass curtain wall titanium alloy clips, titanium alloy shell of cardiac pacemaker, a new titanium alloy artificial joints products, not only to replace the similar imported products, but also exported to the international market.
Reporters from the Shaanxi Province titanium and rare metal materials industry association annual meeting was informed that this year, Baoji, Baoji high tech Zone will be in the high-end talent introduction, technology research and development, public service platform construction give alliance member enterprises to vigorously support, helping enterprises to accelerate the extended to the high-end new products, new technology industry chain development and terminal, optimize the industrial chain, expand applications and upgrades for the transformation of titanium industry make a greater contribution.
To set up an industrial alliance is a kind of cooperation model of mutual cooperation and resource integration, which provides a platform for the development of the industrial structure, processing technology, talent pool, market construction and so on. Provincial cooperation and development model is spreading to a wider market, the establishment of a national titanium industry technology research institute has gradually begun to be concerned about.
During the two sessions this year, the National People's Congress, Sichuan Province Panzhihua Municipal Party committee secretary Zhang Yan suggested that should speed up the formation of national Titanium Industrial Technology Research Institute, the leading structure material revolution, exploring a new model of a combination of modern scientific research institution mode, concentration of funds, choose a new process, focusing on large projects to attract domestic and foreign outstanding team of experts of joint technical research and titanium as soon as possible to achieve the low cost production technology breakthrough. Revolution, closely around the aerospace, marine engineering, large ships, equipment manufacturing and other key industries planning, regional layout, cross-border integration and development, detonated titanium new materials technology and applications, boost high-end industrial development.
Developed with China's independent property of titanium processing material, still need much effort, led by companies, research institutions involved in, state backed, actively establish new mode of production, teaching and research, strengthen cooperation in the upstream and downstream, by the size of the expansion of "extensive" growth to enhance the quality and technical content of the connotation of "change the mode of growth, to meet Chinese demand in the field of aerospace, medical, marine and other high performance titanium and continue to occupy the high-end titanium market.
Survival of the fittest to promote corporate mergers and acquisitions
In the good atmosphere of the high-end titanium material continues to heat up, there are a lot of problems in the development of titanium industry. The main market of titanium material in China is still low-end products, and the majority of enterprises are in the positioning of the low-end products, product homogenization serious, fierce competition among enterprises, the loss increased, resulting in some enterprises in the market competition gradually be eliminated.
A few days ago, the reporter learned from the WeChat titanium circle, Yunnan, a sponge titanium plant is being disposed of a batch of reduction distillation equipment, the reason is to stop production. Just started production line is facing the situation of production, can not help but feel sorry. In fact, it is only a microcosm of the titanium industry is currently operating difficulties, a number of domestic enterprises have been the asset chain rupture, fall into production, semi shutdown predicament. According to the statistics of relevant departments, 2015 in Baoji registered 506 titanium related enterprises, due to the market downturn, resulting in enterprises on the verge of stop production or close down there are more than 180, accounted for more than one-third of the titanium registered enterprises, and in the southwest, titanium of some of the operational difficulties of enterprises also have intended to transfer to sell. For a time, the market is flooded with so and so enterprises in the negotiations to transfer or merger rumors. It is expected that the second half of this trend will be further intensified, the titanium industry enterprises have encountered unprecedented difficulties and challenges.
In 2000, China's titanium production is only 2000 tons, and to the 2014, China titanium sponge production capacity has more than 9 million tons, while the actual demand does not exceed the 6 million tons, in 2015, China's titanium sponge production 6 million tons, the actual consumption of 5.8 million tons. These simple statistics is not difficult to see that China's titanium sponge has a serious excess production, titanium sponge prices fell sharply, Tangshan Tian He, Fushun titanium industry, Panzhihua Xin Yu Chemical and other enterprises have been discontinued. Throughout the overall situation, the current titanium related products are faced with the problem of excess capacity. Recently, the State Council promulgated the "on creating a favorable market environment, promoting the promoting the transformation of increasing benefit guidance of nonferrous metals industry structural adjustment", the problems of non-ferrous metal production capacity in excess of make clear the deployment, the introduction of opinion may make a part of TI company is mergers and acquisitions or move on to some of the project has been launched. Sustained trough makes the process of small enterprises to withdraw from the market gradually accelerated, the whole industry has entered a stage of integration and elimination. Far sighted enterprises should timely mergers and acquisitions, small enterprises gathered together, and finally the formation of a number of stability of several large enterprises or enterprise groups, or wait for the market to pick up, will be cyclic price wars, economic situation once fell, all enterprises will complain incessantly. Reorganization and integration is the enterprise to strengthen cooperation, complementary advantages of a cooperative, in the cruel market environment, pushing the development and integration advantages, realize by low-end industries continue to high-end forward.
"Capacity" is the central economic work conference to determine the 2016 the first five structural reform tasks, cleaning disposal zombie companies is regarded as "capacity", "Niu Bizi." Held at the beginning of the executive meeting of the State Council, stressed that the next two years, the central enterprises to to enhance quality and efficiency as the focus, to strengthen the guidance, does not meet the country's energy consumption, environmental protection, quality, safety and other standards and long-term losses in the overcapacity industry enterprises Guantingbingzhuan or stripping reorganization, the continued loss of more than 3 years and does not conform to the structure to adjust the direction of the enterprises take the asset reorganization, the transfer of property rights, close bankruptcies to be "clearing", disposal of zombie companies, to the end of 2017 to achieve operating losses of loss making enterprises decreased significantly. In this context, in the face of the pressure of market competition, a number of zombie companies must rectify, the development of mergers and acquisitions for survival, and promote the withdrawal of inefficient production capacity. For some high energy consumption, high pollution, extensive titanium smelting, titanium processing zombie enterprises will gradually be closed down.
China titanium industry body mass has been developed sufficiently large, and if you want to achieve the transformation from large to strong, mergers and acquisitions between the industry, the formation of a number of large enterprises to control the market situation is one of the necessary conditions. Only production concentration increased, the relative norms of corporate business behavior, the enterprise in order to put more energy and focus on improving the quality, increase innovation and other aspects, the overall competitiveness of the industry can be improved.
