Now Jaguar Land Rover has also begun to introduce the digital prototype platform system process of Huaxing Group and the platform architecture system of Zhongyuan Automobile Group Company, and Yang Jie hopes to complete the two systems within three years.

After the completion of the construction of this digital prototype platform system, Jaguar Land Rover has completed 100% of the design and performance requirements in the simulation engineering stage, and in addition to the mature platform architecture system of Zhongyuan Automobile Group, it can greatly improve R&D efficiency and reduce R&D costs, and improve the quality of automotive products.

These two systems are the core technology of Zhongyuan Automobile Group Company, and they have matured, and now the introduction of these two systems into Jaguar Land Rover is a rebirth of this subsidiary.

Dr. Schweder had in-depth communication with Li Jianfeng in this regard before joining Jaguar Land Rover, and he also said that he would fully cooperate with the team sent by Zhongyuan Automobile Group to carry out a thorough rectification and transformation of Jaguar Land Rover.

After returning to the headquarters of Guyton Jaguar and Land Rover, Yang Jie also convened a meeting of the management and technical department heads again to discuss in detail the technological transformation and upgrading of its three factories and the reduction of production costs.

Jaguar Land Rover company does have a very deep technical foundation in aluminum alloy technology and coating process, Jaguar Land Rover factory has a lot of expert-level aluminum alloy sheet metal technicians and spraying technicians, these technicians need to go through 6-8 years of process accumulation, but also need to pass the Jaguar Land Rover sheet metal level four technician level training and pass the assessment of the headquarters.

Jaguar Land Rover's high-end environmentally friendly water-based paint has won the "Queen's Technology Award", and the production of vehicle painting maintenance needs to go through 28 rigorous processes such as de-paint polishing, sealing the bottom layer, spraying primer and varnish, etc., and the process in this regard is indeed stronger than other manufacturers.

Of course, Jaguar Land Rover is also the highest among many car manufacturers in terms of aluminum alloy body repair technology.

Compared with traditional steel body maintenance, the aluminum maintenance process has higher requirements for equipment, and special aluminum maintenance equipment must be used. In order to prevent the body from being corroded by aluminum dust during the maintenance process, Jaguar Land Rover authorized dealers need to set up a special "aluminum alloy maintenance station", so that each maintenance vehicle has an independent space, to ensure that the Jaguar Land Rover all-aluminum body is professionally repaired, and these aluminum maintenance tools and equipment are expensive, special stations, special rivets, special tools, special structural glue and other original configurations are only available exclusively in Jaguar Land Rover authorized dealers.

However, Jaguar Land Rover does not produce aluminum alloy materials by itself, and can only rely on aluminum alloy suppliers to develop aluminum alloy materials for itself, and Jaguar Land Rover uses only 60,000 or 70,000 tons of aluminum alloy every year, and these suppliers do not want to develop new aluminum alloy materials for Jaguar Land Rover.

This time, Jaguar Land Rover also decided to hand over all the orders for aluminum alloy to this aviation aluminum alloy factory under Zhonghua Fokker.

This aluminum alloy factory specializes in providing high-end aerospace aluminum alloys for China Fokker Company, as well as other domestic aviation manufacturers and Huaxing Group Corporation, and now has an annual production capacity of about 300,000 tons.

In particular, it can provide this silicon carbide whisker reinforced aluminum matrix composite material, which is much tougher than the previous aluminum alloy, the strength is much higher, and the coefficient of thermal expansion is also low.

This material overcomes the previous difficulty of stamping and welding aluminum alloy, and now Zhongyuan Automobile Group has begun to use this material in high-end automotive products.

Before, the heat sensitivity of aluminum alloy was very high, and it was easy to expand after heating, so it was difficult for the ordinary automobile welding process to be satisfied with it, so Jaguar Land Rover had to apply the riveting process on the aviation aircraft to the car, and glue the process to improve the connection strength and sealing, and also thought of a lot of ways in the stamping process of aluminum alloy, and the process was also very complicated.

Originally, the cost of aluminum alloy materials is more expensive than that of steel, and the process of aluminum alloy used in the automobile industry is very difficult, so the manufacturing cost is much higher than that of steel, and the cost of Jaguar and Land Rover is also difficult to reduce.

Now that Huaxing Group has mass-produced this silicon carbide aluminum matrix composite, Dr. Schweider has suddenly seen the dawn of greatly reducing the cost of Jaguar Land Rover automobile products!

Jaguar Land Rover's technical department personnel were overjoyed to learn that the parent company had mass-produced this special aluminum alloy composite material, and the price was even cheaper than the previous high-end aerospace aluminum alloy material.

Previously, Jaguar Land Rover used a lot of aluminum alloy, and it was difficult to reduce the cost, and it was difficult to use this material to produce models that were one grade lower than the company's existing car series.

The reason why Huaxing Group can achieve mass production is mainly to adopt a new preparation process, before foreign manufacturers have also used silicon carbide particles to enhance aluminum-based materials, but the manufacturing processes used such as stirring casting, pressure casting, powder metallurgy, etc. are difficult to obtain aluminum matrix composite components that meet the requirements of dimensions and mechanical properties at one time, especially products with high ductility requirements.

However, the Machine Tool Research Institute has developed a new process on the basis of silicon carbide whisker material, so that the aluminum matrix composite material reinforced by the silicon carbide whisker material overcomes the defects of porosity, looseness, segregation and inclusions in the previous materials, and the performance of thermoplastic deformation is very good, and it will not crack in the forging process, which is better than the performance of automotive steel.

Now these materials have been widely used in aerospace, weapons and equipment and other high-performance key load-bearing components, of course, this material has been used in radio frequency, microwave circuit packaging and aerospace electronic system metal packaging materials and product shell materials, and also began to be used in the field of high-speed rail, Huaxing Group in this material technology is also mature.

Jaguar Land Rover has been continuously developing the all-aluminum alloy body manufacturing process for so many years, although it has done better than other car manufacturers in this regard, and does have excellent technology in hand, such as riveting and gluing technology, this cold connection technology can avoid thermal deformation at the body connection, which not only solves the problem of low weldability of aluminum alloy materials, but also ensures the strength of the body connection.

Although these are enough to make Jaguar Land Rover's engineers and technicians proud, the defects of aluminum alloy materials have always made Jaguar Land Rover's production costs unable to come down, after all, no one will be unable to get along with money!

Jaguar Land Rover has always wanted to get better aluminum alloy materials, but they were shocked that the parent company has made a major breakthrough in this regard!

Therefore, the technical department of Jaguar Land Rover also assured Yang Jie that it would apply this silicon carbide whisker aluminum matrix composite material to all the company's automotive products as soon as possible, and improve the process at the same time.
