R&D Capabilities
The company's R&D team has undertaken numerous national, provincial-ministerial, and industry-specific projects involving aluminum-magnesium-copper alloys, accumulating extensive project development experience. In recent years, the team has successfully completed several key initiatives, including the National XX Science and Technology Cooperation Project (introducing industrialization technology for ultra-light magnesium-lithium alloys used in XXX applications), an international science and technology cooperation special project focused on developing a hypereutectic aluminum-silicon alloy to replace imported materials for engine components, a National Natural Science Foundation project exploring superplastic deformation of duplex magnesium-lithium alloys, and internally developed projects such as "High-Performance Aluminum Alloy Liquid Die Forging" and "Key Technologies for Extrusion Processing of Magnesium Alloys." Currently, the team is actively engaged in several vertically aligned projects, including the Equipment Development Department of the Central Military Commission’s 13th Five-Year Plan Pre-research Common Technology Project (focusing on research into application technologies for 400MPa-grade cast aluminum-lithium alloys), a science and technology development fund project from Chinalco Group (aimed at researching and developing technologies for recycling aluminum-lithium alloy scrap and waste materials), and the Zhengzhou Entrepreneurial Leading Team Project centered on the industrialization and application development of new high-performance lightweight alloys tailored for aerospace applications. On the horizontal front, the team is collaborating on projects with industry partners such as a Zhengzhou-based company (developing 4043 aluminum alloy wire rods), a Nanjing-based group (working on high-performance aluminum alloy conductors), and a certain aerospace institute (focusing on the development of copper-silver-zirconium alloys for heavy-duty rocket applications). Additionally, the team maintains deep, ongoing partnerships with major defense contractors, including entities affiliated with the aerospace, aviation, China Electronics Technology Group, and China North Industries Group Corporation.
