· Zhonganxin promotes the popularization of carbon fiber in automotive lightweight applications

Recently, the 2017 Shenzhen Hong Kong and Macau International Automobile Expo, adhering to the concept of “neutrality, innovation and pioneer”, came to an end in Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center. The most popular in this year's fair is the application of carbon fiber lightweight technology and products. Alfa Romeo's Stelvio uses carbon fiber materials to reduce the weight of the car. Maserati's Levante uses lightweight materials to improve vehicle agility. The innovative application of carbon fiber technology has become a beautiful landscape for the auto show.
Carbon fiber is a high-strength new fiber material with a carbon content of more than 95%. It is “outer and softer” and its quality is lighter than that of metal aluminum, but its strength is higher than that of steel. It is currently used in civil aviation, robots, high-speed trains and electric vehicles. The automotive sector is replacing other materials and is an important direction for lightweighting. The data shows that for every 100 kilograms of vehicle weight reduction, the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers can be reduced by 0.3 to 0.6 liters. Internationally, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Lamborghini and others have started to cooperate with carbon fiber companies. Domestic automakers such as BAIC, Qoros and Weilai have also begun to try to use carbon fiber lightweight components.
However, the current bottleneck restricting the use of carbon fiber in automotive lightweight applications is excessive cost. Only when the cost of carbon fiber composites is reduced to the level equivalent to aluminum alloys, lightweight materials can be used on a large scale in ordinary models. To solve this problem, the Chinese company Kangde Group has built a technology-leading carbon fiber lightweight ecological platform, including Zhonganxin Carbon Fiber Base, Kangde New European Composites R&D Center, and Kangde New Redding European Automotive Lightweight Design Center. Germany's GFG and SGL's large-scale manufacturing technology support, Kangde composite materials industry version 4.0 intelligent manufacturing plant, from design, research and development to the integration of carbon fiber and component manufacturing process, making cost reduction possible. Among them, Zhong Anxin is mainly engaged in the research and development and production of high-performance carbon fiber and its composite materials. In August last year, Zhong Anxin's first high-performance carbon fiber automated production line with the largest single unit (1700 tons) and international advanced level was completed and put into operation. Stable production, product performance can be comparable with the international top Dongli company's products, breaking the technical blockade and monopoly of developed countries in one fell swoop, laying a solid foundation for China's carbon fiber industry to catch up with the international advanced level. After the completion of the project, the carbon fiber production capacity will reach 5,100 tons, ranking first in the country and the top five in the world. The move attracted capital injections from Beijing Yisheng Hengtong Investment Management Co., Ltd. and Yuhong Group. Zhong Anxin's outstanding performance has also been highly praised by LEONARDO, Italy's largest aerospace industry. It is reported that on July 26, LEONARDO executive team and Zhong Anxin signed a memorandum of understanding to build a leading international civil aviation composite material manufacturing platform to help the development of China Commercial Aircraft wide-body aircraft and achieve mass production.
In order to achieve high yield, high stability, high quality and high performance of carbon fiber, Zhong Anxin has introduced professional talents from the best research and production units in China, and has established a core team of 148 people for R&D, production, management and operation. Many people have patents related to carbon fiber technology; in terms of technology, the company has its own intellectual property rights, adopts world-class technology package, realizes full automation control, long-term stable operation, and the only domestic rapid oxidation and carbonization technology can achieve single-line capacity of 1700. In terms of R&D, Zhong Anxin has introduced a full-featured 100-ton raw silk test line and the National Laboratory Carbon Wire Test Line. The high-end technical equipment manufacturing platform ensures a full range, multi-standard, high-performance carbon fiber product layout.
By increasing the material utilization rate and shortening the production time per unit, the cost of the initial 100,000 yuan vehicle has now dropped to 50,000. In the future, the scale will continue to decline with the expansion of scale and technological progress. It is expected that after five years, Zhonganxin can reduce the raw material cost of automotive carbon fiber composite materials to 50% or lower, to meet the industrial needs of mass production vehicles. At that time, the application of carbon fiber in automobile lightweighting is expected to become popular.
