"Dong Yang, your Huaxing Technology Group Company is really too powerful in metallurgical technology. ”

In a workshop where Zhongyuan Metallurgical Technology Company is located, Huang Zhongping, the leader of Baotu City, saw skilled workers take out the large-size high-purity aluminum ingots produced in a large crystallization furnace, and through sampling and testing, the purity of the aluminum ingots purified by multiple times has reached five ultra-high-purity aluminum ingots of the 9th grade.

This ultra-high purity aluminum ingot is very soft and can be scratched with fingernails, and part of such a high-purity aluminum ingot will be prepared into an ultra-high purity aluminum sputtering target substrate, and part will be used to prepare scandium aluminum alloy.

Producing ultra-high purity pure aluminium is repeated at least several times in this facility, but not all grades of scandium-aluminum alloys require such high purity.

In fact, the standard of high-purity aluminum is already very good to reach 3 9s, and this factory only needs to use one process to reach the level of 4 9s.

Zhongyuan Metallurgical Technology Co., Ltd. now uses 99.7% purity aluminum ingots as raw materials for deep processing, and these raw materials are purchased from Baotu City and the aluminum ingot factories in the surrounding areas.

After the first deep processing, the purity of the refined aluminum is at least 4N6, and this purity of refined aluminum is used by Zhongyuan Metallurgical Technology Company to prepare multiple grades of scandium aluminum alloy.

Of course, the higher the purity of refined aluminum, the higher the price of scandium aluminum alloy.

Zhongyuan Metallurgical Technology Co., Ltd. has carried out a lot of research and development on scandium aluminum alloy in the laboratory production line, and Huaxing Technology Group Co., Ltd. itself can provide these finishing equipment, so such a scandium aluminum alloy production line is naturally easy to establish.

By adding trace amounts of scandium, a new generation of aluminum alloys can be developed on the basis of existing aluminum alloys, such as high-strength and toughness aluminum alloys, new high-strength corrosion-resistant weldable aluminum alloys, new high-temperature aluminum alloys, and high-strength scandium neutron aluminum alloys.

Zhongyuan Metallurgical Technology Co., Ltd. has done a lot of work in the research and development of materials in this area, and it is not particularly difficult to start large-scale production at this stage.

In terms of R&D and application of aluminum-scandium alloy, Damaoqi is the leader, and a large number of scandium aluminum alloys are mainly used in welded stressed structural parts used in aerospace and ships, as well as aluminum alloy pipes working in alkaline corrosive media environments, railway transportation tanks, key components of high-speed trains, etc.

Zhongyuan Metallurgical Technology Co., Ltd. has made such rapid progress in research and development in this area because it has recruited several material experts in this area, and has also cultivated a group of its own material technology team.

Western countries, including Eagle Sauce, are mainly focusing on aluminum-lithium alloy in aluminum alloy technology, while Huaxing Technology Group Co., Ltd. is mainly focusing on scandium aluminum alloy materials, and has registered at least 20 grades of scandium aluminum alloys, and has developed a variety of scandium-containing welding wire aluminum alloys, and has made amazing milestone achievements.

Scandium has a good diffusion and strengthening effect on aluminum, and is a powerful grain refiner and effective recrystallization inhibitor of aluminum alloy, which can comprehensively improve the performance of aluminum alloy, especially the ductility has a special advantage, which is very easy to process, and even better than the effect of silicon carbide whisker material added to aluminum alloy material.

Now Huaxing Technology Group Co., Ltd. has many subsidiaries of the product equipment are using this scandium aluminum alloy material, for example, the scandium aluminum alloy material used in the middle frame material of the mobile phone produced by Huaxing Communication Equipment Co., Ltd. is the easiest to process, the best to use.

In addition, China Fokker Company, Huaxing Aviation Technology Company, Yonghan Aviation Technology Company, China Satellite Communications Company and Huaxing Rocket Launch Company are all starting to use this scandium aluminum alloy material in large quantities, and the demand is very large.

At present, the scandium aluminum alloy production line built by Zhongyuan Metallurgical Science and Technology Company in Baotu City has not been able to meet the needs of 10,000 tons of scandium aluminum alloy, and it is necessary to increase production capacity.

Huang Zhongping then followed Yang Jie to visit the scandium oxide production line, and when he saw that the production line output was so large, he also asked with some worry: "Yang Dong, your current scandium oxide production is so large, will it have a great impact on the market?"

"The high-purity scandium oxide we produce mainly meets our own needs and domestic needs, and the impact on the market will not be particularly large. ”

Yang Jie said with a smile: "In the past, Damao produced a large number of scandium oxide and other products, impacting the market, and pulling the price of scandium oxide from 75,000 US dollars per kilogram to 8,000 US dollars per kilogram, and now it is basically stable at 10,000 US dollars per kilogram, but this price is still expensive. ”

Now Huaxing Technology Group Co., Ltd. has fully mastered the whole industry chain technology of scandium element from mining and refining to product processing to utilization, and it is natural to comprehensively promote this new type of material.

Huaxing Technology Group Co., Ltd. in the preparation of these scandium products required equipment and some key equipment can also be manufactured by themselves, after these highly automated production lines are put into operation, the output quickly rises, and the cost comes down quickly.

Huaxing Technology Group Co., Ltd.'s internal procurement will naturally not ask for sky-high prices, and the prices of these products are much lower than those on the market after maintaining sufficient profits.

Before the world's main scandium products are Da Mao, the output of scandium oxide is 6 tons, and the pricing power is in the hands of Da Mao, but Yang Jie still thinks that this price is expensive, and now the use of rich rare earth mines in Baotu City will expand the production capacity of scandium oxide to 20 tons, which also pulls the price of domestic scandium oxide to a low level.

The 10,000-ton-per-year scandium aluminum alloy production line built by Zhongyuan Metallurgical Technology Company here also makes this plant the largest scandium aluminum alloy production plant in China.

Huang Zhongping learned that Zhongyuan Metallurgical Science and Technology Company will continue to expand the output of scandium oxide and scandium aluminum alloy, he is naturally very happy, Huaxing Science and Technology Group Company in the construction of a comprehensive industrial park here are all very high-tech products, the larger the scale of production capacity, the output value of the industrial park will naturally rise with the tide, not to mention the substantial increase in tax revenue in Baotu City, the key is that the high-tech industry formed by this comprehensive industrial park will also add a lot of color to the achievements of local officials.

There is no need for Yang Jie to say anything, Huang Zhongping also said to Mayor Liu Shaohui next to him on the spot: "These companies under Huaxing Technology Group Company want to expand their production capacity here, and the supporting projects in the city must keep up and not delay the progress......

Liu Shaohui also nodded and agreed.
