2020年6月2日,全球領先輕量化複合材料綜合解決方案提供商-中國恆瑞有限公司(以下簡稱HRC)高性能領先航空複合材料零部件量產基地落戶江蘇省常熟市高新技術產業開發區,正式開啟了HRC的「飛行器時代」。
航空航天是碳纖維現有應用的最大市場,2019年全球航空復材市場產值接近1000億元並保持12%的年增長速度,相比之下,國內的航空用碳纖維複合材料市場規模還很小。全球複合材料市場中,航空應用的產量佔比為23%,產值佔比高達63%; 而在中國,航空領域的產量與產值佔比分別只有3.7%和23%, 因此可見碳纖維複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,中國的碳纖維複合材料市場都將處於快速增長的階段,逐步成為美國,歐洲以外的第三極,市場規模預計達到500億元以上。可以說碳纖維複合材料行業的發展升級,同時也將是中國由製造大國向製造強國轉型的一個縮影。
根據測算,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,因此飛機製造企業與航空公司紛紛對複合材料趨之若鶩。波音787和空客A350 XWB上的碳纖維複合材料用量超過了機身結構的50%,這種標杆性的案例對於全球範圍內的航空製造商來說都有著巨大的引領作用。國產C919中型客機上碳纖維複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。而複合材料的成型是航空製造產業鏈條中最具附加值的一道環節,現有情況下也是相對薄弱的一個環節,挑戰主要集中在複合材料生產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於高性能碳纖維複合材料零部件成型研發及量產的專家型企業,經過五年的快速發展,HRC已經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並嶄露頭角。2018年中,HRC便已經開始了航空零部件項目的開發與生產;2019年,HRC更將航空航天成立為單獨的事業部門,兩年多的實踐中招募並培養了一支高度專業化國際化的航空專家技術團隊,為新建的航空零部件量產基地的籌建提供了豐富的人才及經驗基礎。同時,藉助於集團公司強大的國際合作網絡及資源,以及國內外稀缺的從工程設計到批量生產的綜合解決方案提供能力,航空零部件量產基地將在創立伊始便能以成熟的姿態,領先的水準及高效的運作快速投入正式運營。
項目一期註冊資本3380萬美元,總投資1億美元,將在兩萬平米現代化工業廠房內配備熱壓罐,OOA及熱塑型等多種領先複合材料成型技術及辦公,檢測,裝配,包裝等配套功能區域。以國內外主流航空主機製造企業,軌道交通企業為核心服務行業,同時大力開發船舶製造,海洋工程,工業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.
