With my country’s unremitting efforts in the field of new materials, domestic carbon fiber technology has repeatedly achieved important breakthroughs, breaking the technical blockade of overseas developed countries, and gradually occupying an important position in the global carbon fiber market.
As an important part of advanced composite materials, high-performance 3-fiber represented by carbon fiber is a key development industry in the high-tech industry and national defense field of all countries in the world, and has a development potential that cannot be ignored. With its excellent performance and important application scenarios, carbon fiber has become a veritable “king of materials”.
Why is carbon fiber said to be “black gold”?
Shangge Fangmeng Laifan. Zhan fiber is a high-spreading high-modulus fiber with a blending content of more than 9%; Xinxing ranks first among all chemical fibers. The strength of disc fiber is 7 to 10 times that of steel, and the density is 1/4 that of steel. It also has properties such as anti-fatigue and high strength, so it is called the “black gold” of the 21st century.
Carbon fiber mainly uses acrylic (polyacrylonitrile) and viscose fiber as raw materials; in the midstream, the ball fiber industry mainly includes carbon fiber and its products. From the raw silk to the final composite material, it often needs to go through multiple processing steps. The midstream products should include Three types: carbon fiber and its products, prepregs, and composite materials.
From the point of view of application, Ruidao Yutui has been maturely used in aviation, aerospace and other defense fields, including the manufacture of aircraft, satellites, rockets, missiles, radars, etc. However, with the increase in market demand, the demand for emerging markets such as carbon fiber-based reinforced engineering plastics, pressure vessels, building reinforcement, and wind power generation is increasing day by day. In addition, the market prospects for development of auto parts and medical machinery are also quite optimistic.
Domestic carbon fiber still has a long way to go!
From the perspective of the domestic market, in 210, the demand for my country’s joint fiber is 48,000 tons, but the supply of domestic carbon fiber is less than 20,000 tons, and the product self-sufficiency rate is only 4%. In terms of high-performance arrowhead fibers, my country’s existing production capacity still has shortcomings, which cannot meet the growing domestic demand, and the gap between supply and demand has also come about.
Looking at the world, the global usage of carbon fiber materials in 2022 exceeded 100,000 tons, and the usage in the field of “aviation” aircraft reached 38 R0 tons, and there is also a demand for 30 tons in the aerospace field. The main producing countries of carbon fiber are Japan, the United States, and Europe. Developed countries, such as South Korea, etc., these technologically advanced countries have firmly controlled the R&D technology and occupied a leading position in the global carbon fiber market through strategic layout.
In the future, with the advancement of domestic technology and the large-scale mass production of domestic high-performance carbon fibers, the situation of short supply in the market will be improved, and the price of carbon fiber materials will gradually stabilize. However, the full carbon fiber market still has a lot of room for growth. It is estimated that the total global demand in 20 years will exceed 420,000 tons, a substantial expansion of 4 times compared to 2020.
