China's forging industry has recently made significant progress and successfully developed a 10-meter-diameter aluminum alloy ring for heavy-duty launch vehicles. This achievement not only demonstrates the advanced strength of my country's forging technology, but also marks my country's progress in the global high-end forging field. A solid step.
As a key component of heavy launch vehicle, aluminum alloy ring has high requirements for material performance, precision and surface quality. For a long time, the manufacture of large aluminum alloy rings has been a difficult problem in the forging industry, especially in ensuring the strength and toughness of the material, but also to achieve high-precision size control and surface quality.
The successful development of the diameter of 10 meters of aluminum alloy ring, the use of advanced forging technology and technology. In terms of material selection, the aluminum alloy material with high strength and high toughness is selected. After precise smelting and forging process, the performance and quality of the material are ensured. In the forging process, advanced numerical simulation and simulation technology are used to accurately predict and control the forging process, ensuring the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the ring.
It is reported that the 10-meter-diameter aluminum alloy ring is a key structural part connecting the barrel section of the storage tank of the heavy launch vehicle, the front and rear bottoms and the inter-box section of the rocket. Its high-precision, high-surface, and high-performance characteristics are essential to ensure the stability and safety of the rocket. For a long time, foreign countries have implemented technical blockade and monopoly on my country in the field of high-performance aluminum alloy materials. This time, my country successfully developed a 10-meter-diameter aluminum alloy ring, which not only broke the foreign technical blockade, but also provided the development of my country's heavy-duty launch vehicles. A strong guarantee.
In the process of development, China's aluminum enterprises give full play to the advantages of equipment, technology and talents, and boldly carry out independent research and development of new processes, new materials and new products. After repeated tests and research, the key technical problems such as rolling forming and heat treatment were successfully overcome, and the performance and quality of aluminum alloy rings were ensured. At the same time, the company also adopts multi-wire collaborative process equipment, the manufacturing process is greatly simplified, the cost is greatly reduced, and the manufacturing cycle is shortened to 1 month, which provides efficient and reliable aluminum alloy material support for the development of heavy launch vehicles.
Industry experts said that the manufacture of large aluminum alloy rings is one of the important development directions of the forging industry, and its application is not only limited to the aerospace field, but also widely involved in automotive, aviation, shipbuilding and other fields. The successful development of 10-meter-diameter aluminum alloy rings will bring more development opportunities and challenges to China's forging industry.
In the future, China's forging industry will continue to strengthen technological research and development and innovation, continuously improve product quality and technical level, and provide global customers with better and more efficient services. At the same time, China will also actively cooperate and exchange with international advanced enterprises to jointly promote the development and progress of the global forging industry.
In short, China's forging industry has successfully developed 10-meter-diameter aluminum alloy rings for heavy rockets, which is an important breakthrough in China's forging technology and an important achievement in the global high-end forging field. The achievement of this achievement will encourage China's forging industry to continue to move forward and provide better products and services for global customers.
