2020年6月2日,全球領先輕量化復合材料綜合解決方案提供商-中國恒瑞有限公司(以下簡稱HRC)高性能領先航空復合材料零部件量產(chǎn)基地落戶江蘇省常熟市高新技術產(chǎn)業(yè)開發(fā)區(qū),正式開啟了HRC的“飛行器時代”。
航空航天是碳纖維現(xiàn)有應用的最大市場,2019年全球航空復材市場產(chǎn)值接近1000億元并保持12%的年增長速度,相比之下,國內的航空用碳纖維復合材料市場規(guī)模還很小。全球復合材料市場中,航空應用的產(chǎn)量占比為23%,產(chǎn)值占比高達63%; 而在中國,航空領域的產(chǎn)量與產(chǎn)值占比分別只有3.7%和23%, 因此可見碳纖維復合材料在中國的航空航天領域的應用仍有巨大的增長空間。 預計未來10年,中國的碳纖維復合材料市場都將處于快速增長的階段,逐步成為美國,歐洲以外的第三極,市場規(guī)模預計達到500億元以上??梢哉f碳纖維復合材料行業(yè)的發(fā)展升級,同時也將是中國由制造大國向制造強國轉型的一個縮影。
根據(jù)測算,飛機每減重一千克,可降低運營成本13萬元以上,而增加的材料成本僅是其效益的15%,回報率超過7倍,因此飛機制造企業(yè)與航空公司紛紛對復合材料趨之若鶩。波音787和空客A350 XWB上的碳纖維復合材料用量超過了機身結構的50%,這種標桿性的案例對于全球范圍內的航空制造商來說都有著巨大的引領作用。國產(chǎn)C919中型客機上碳纖維復合材料應用比例約為12%,而在C929機型上將達51%,無疑最好的驗證了這種趨勢。而復合材料的成型是航空制造產(chǎn)業(yè)鏈條中最具附加值的一道環(huán)節(jié),現(xiàn)有情況下也是相對薄弱的一個環(huán)節(jié),挑戰(zhàn)主要集中在復合材料生產(chǎn)工藝的改善及成本的下降。
作為異軍突起且被備受關注的專注于高性能碳纖維復合材料零部件成型研發(fā)及量產(chǎn)的專家型企業(yè),經(jīng)過五年的快速發(fā)展,HRC已經(jīng)形成了在汽車領域的深度布局,成為沃爾沃,吉利,一汽等多個國內外知名汽車主機廠指定碳纖維零部件供應商,同時也在航空航天,軌道交通等多個領域均有涉獵并嶄露頭角。2018年中,HRC便已經(jīng)開始了航空零部件項目的開發(fā)與生產(chǎn);2019年,HRC更將航空航天成立為單獨的事業(yè)部門,兩年多的實踐中招募并培養(yǎng)了一支高度專業(yè)化國際化的航空專家技術團隊,為新建的航空零部件量產(chǎn)基地的籌建提供了豐富的人才及經(jīng)驗基礎。同時,借助于集團公司強大的國際合作網(wǎng)絡及資源,以及國內外稀缺的從工程設計到批量生產(chǎn)的綜合解決方案提供能力,航空零部件量產(chǎn)基地將在創(chuàng)立伊始便能以成熟的姿態(tài),領先的水準及高效的運作快速投入正式運營。
項目一期注冊資本3380萬美元,總投資1億美元,將在兩萬平米現(xiàn)代化工業(yè)廠房內配備熱壓罐,OOA及熱塑型等多種領先復合材料成型技術及辦公,檢測,裝配,包裝等配套功能區(qū)域。以國內外主流航空主機制造企業(yè),軌道交通企業(yè)為核心服務行業(yè),同時大力開發(fā)船舶制造,海洋工程,工業(yè)能源等同樣蘊含巨大機遇的藍海領域,力爭在的更廣闊的潛在市場中大展拳腳。
HRC invested in new serial production center of advanced aeronautic composite parts in Changshu
On June 2nd, 2020, Changshu city, HRC has officially signed a new investment agreement with the local government to invest and establish a brand new serial production center of advanced composite parts for further serving the aeronautic, railway and other target industries.
With a registered capital of total $33.8 million, the phase I of the new aeronautic center will have a production area of 20,000 sq. and be equipped with a variety of leading composite forming technologies such as Autoclave, OOA, Thermoplastic and also assisting functional areas such as inspection, assembly and packaging etc.
During the past 5 years of business practice, HRC has successfully achieved its primary intention with the automobile industry for being acknowledged as one of the most professional and dedicated lightweight solution providers and became the designated carbon fiber part supplier of many well-known OEMs such as Volvo, Geely and FAW.
Since middle of 2018, HRC had started the development and production for aviation projects. In 2019, new independent aeronautic business unit was founded and consists of an international team of highly specialized and experienced experts with solid technical background, providing rich talent and experience for the foundation of the new advance aeronautic production center. At the same time, with HRC’s strong international network and resources, as well as the ability to provide rare comprehensive services from engineering design to serial production, the production center will be swiftly put into formal operation with a high bar of standard and efficiency since the very beginning of its establishment.
