In recent years, the rapid development of China's aerospace industry, the demand for aviation fasteners has increased dramatically. In addition, the manufacture of large aircraft in China has made great progress. Although there is still a period of time since the first flight in 2014, 100 start-up orders have been obtained at the air show at the end of 2010, to complete these orders for titanium. The demand for alloy fasteners is huge, and the market prospects for titanium alloy fasteners are very promising. In order to ensure the continuous safe flight of aerospace appliances, the requirements for fasteners are extremely high. Especially after the commercial aircraft is put into operation, it has to run for 20 to 30 years, and continuous uninterrupted flight for more than ten hours a day. The requirements for fasteners are even higher than the aerospace standards. Titanium alloy fasteners can meet the above requirements. In addition, titanium alloy fasteners can greatly reduce the weight of the aircraft, not only improve flight performance, but also reduce the cost of use, the most important thing is to reduce fuel consumption. Such excellent performance is inevitably widely used in aircraft manufacturing, and the main problem currently plaguing its development is titanium alloy materials. At present, the shortage of rare earths is prominent, and the price rise is obvious. China must strictly control the export of rare earths. According to "2011 China Machinery Fastener Market Analysis and Investment Value Research Report", titanium alloy fasteners are widely used on aircraft. According to the data, China's domestic c919 aircraft requires about 200,000 pieces of titanium alloy fasteners. To complete the first batch of 100 start-up orders, 20 million pieces of titanium alloy fasteners are needed. According to the plan to produce 150 large aircraft per year in 2018, 30 million titanium alloy fasteners are needed each year. The development potential of titanium alloy fasteners is huge, and the market development prospects are very promising. (This article Source: Easy to tighten fastener network)
