Currently, China is in the transition stage to a strong country in aviation and aerospace sectors. Aircrafts made in China will soon be available in the market. Aluminium for aviation and aerospace sectors has become a testimonial to a corporation’s R&D strength. 

Recently, a group of representatives from AVIC SAC Commercial Aircraft Company Limited (abbreviated as “SACC”) and Shenyang Aerospace University visited China Zhongwang, and discussed about the R&D and production of aluminium alloy products that applied for aviation and aerospace sectors. At the meeting, leaders of the three parties introduced their unique R&D capability, direction and outlook, and achieved partial consensus on the further application of aluminium in aviation and aerospace sectors. The three parties agreed that they would co-build a research platform for the development of aluminium applied for aviation and aerospace needs.

In fact, China Zhongwang already paved its way for aluminium products used in aviation and aerospace sectors. In order to meet the special requirements in terms of size, features and quality of aluminium materials, the Group launched “7075 Extrusion Billets for Aviation Applications” project which has also been included in the “2013 Liaoyang City Key Enterprises Technology Innovation” plan. For China Zhongwang, the development of aluminium in aviation and aerospace sectors not only marks a new milestone for its high-tech products, but also has great impact on the Company’s domestic and export sales. 

Besides, the development of the Group’s aluminium flat rolled product project, which the Group has committed a great investment, has also been on track. Located in the Wuqing District in Tianjing, the project will be the world’s most technologically advanced production base equipped with comprehensive ancillary equipment and facilities for aluminium flat-rolled products upon its completion. The products (aluminium plates, sheets and foils) will be widely used in high-end sectors such as aviation and aerospace. Phase I of the project, with an annual production capacity of 1.8 million tonnes, is expected to gradually commence operation in 2015. Total annual capacity will rise to 3 million tonnes when Phase II is completed in 2018.
