Recently, the R&D center of Yuefeng New Materials Group has concentrated efforts to tackle challenges and successfully completed the line trial production of large-sized 2A12 and 7075 alloy flat cast ingots. High-quality ingots were produced, achieving an important phased breakthrough for the company in the field of high-end aluminum material preparation.
2-series and 7-series aluminum alloys are key basic materials with high added value in the aerospace and high-end equipment manufacturing fields, and are also core products to address the shortage of high-end aluminum materials in Jiangsu Province. The production process of these alloys is highly technical and difficult to trial produce. Jiangsu New Materials Group's line trial production is based on the previous pilot technology, applying mature pilot results on the production line on a large scale, promoting the integration of line trial production and mass production incubation, and focusing on solving engineering problems such as equipment compatibility, personnel skills, and process optimization.
During the trial production process, the R&D center established a special research group, closely monitoring the on-site production conditions, collecting real-time test data, organizing timely reviews and discussions, and continuously optimizing the process plan. Through multiple rounds of experimentation and exploration, the project team gradually mastered the large-scale production process of ingots, effectively improving the stability of ingot formation. While producing high-quality ingots, the project also completed equipment debugging, on-site personnel skills improvement, and process system iteration, achieving optimization of economic and technical indicators and cost reduction.
The successful implementation of this breakthrough project is a specific practice of implementing the three major main business tasks of the transformation and upgrading and iterative development of Yuefeng New Materials Group. It has broken through the key path for the transformation and implementation of pilot results, established a cross-unit collaborative and interactive mechanism of "research - production - market", and formed a new model of technology transfer that is replicable and scalable. This has accumulated valuable practical experience for the industrialization of high-end aluminum alloys.
In the future, Yuefeng New Materials Group will focus on the market demands of the "six emerging pillar industries" and the "six future industries", apply the experience of this breakthrough project to more research and development projects, use technological innovation to empower transformation and upgrading and iterative development, promote products to expand towards high-end and high value-added, and strive to write a new chapter of high-quality development in the aluminum industry.
