Recently, the Alloy Department of Yuefeng Aluminum Jiangyin Branch successfully developed flat ingot products, a key foundational material for high-performance building coatings. After being tested by a third-party authoritative institution, the product's technical indicators have reached or even exceeded those of imported counterparts, marking the domestic production of this high-end material and breaking the foreign technology monopoly.
For a long time, this type of material has mainly relied on imports, not only resulting in high procurement costs but also posing potential risks to the stability of the supply chain. To solve this "knockout" problem and accelerate the process of domestic substitution, Yuefeng Aluminum Jiangyin Branch and Yuefeng Aluminum Material Application Research Institute deepened the collaboration between the enterprise and the research institute, jointly conducting technical research.
During the cooperation process, Yuefeng Aluminum Material Application Research Institute fully utilized its national-level research platform advantages, providing systematic theoretical support and experimental verification in basic research fields such as material composition design, solidification mechanism research, and process simulation. Yuefeng Aluminum Jiangyin Branch's Alloy Department, relying on its rich on-site production experience and complete equipment conditions, efficiently transformed laboratory research results into practical production process plans and continuously provided data feedback and process iteration optimization during the trial production stage. The two sides complemented each other's strengths and worked together, after months of concentrated research and dozens of rounds of process experiments, successfully overcame key technical bottlenecks such as component uniformity control, grain refinement, and casting quality stability, and successfully achieved the industrial application of this product.
This breakthrough not only effectively reduced the enterprise's procurement costs and improved the security level of the supply chain, but also laid a solid foundation for the technological accumulation and independent innovation capabilities in the field of high-end aluminum alloy materials. In the future, Yuefeng Aluminum Jiangyin Branch will continue to deepen the cooperation between the research institute and the enterprise, accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological achievements into real productive forces, promote the realization of independent control of more key materials, and inject strong innovative momentum into high-quality development.
