Aluminum alloy forging products are widely used in the usual market and attracted more and more attention because of a series of advantages such as small specific gravity, high specific strength and high specific stiffness of aluminum alloy. So in the usual market, which market demand is larger? 

Let's talk about the industries of Tongli Aluminum Co., Ltd. as follows:

(1) aviation (aircraft) forgings: forgings on aircraft account for about 70% of the weight of aircraft data, such as landing gear, frame, ribs, engine parts, moving ring and stationary ring, etc. There are thousands of forgings used on an aircraft, most of which have been aluminized except for a few high-temperature parts using high-temperature alloy and titanium alloy forgings. For example, Boeing Company of the United States produces thousands of aircraft every year, which consumes tens of thousands of tons of aluminum alloy forgings every year. China's fighter planes and other military and civil aircraft are also developing rapidly, especially the start of large aircraft projects and the implementation of major projects such as aircraft carriers, and the demand for aluminum forgings will increase year by year.

(2) Aerospace forgings: The forgings on spacecraft are mainly forging rings, rims, spars and frames, and most of them are aluminum forgings, only a few titanium forgings are needed. With the development of spacecraft, rockets, missiles and satellites, the demand for aluminum forgings is increasing day by day. For example, in recent years, AL-Li alloy shell forgings for ultra-long-range missiles developed by China weigh more than 300 kilograms each and are worth hundreds of thousands of yuan. The amount of various aluminum alloy forging rings with φ 1.5 ~ φ 6mm is increasing.

(3) Weapons industry: The number of aluminum alloy forgings used as load-bearing parts in conventional weapons, such as tanks, armored vehicles, personnel carriers, chariots, rockets, gun racks, warships, etc., has greatly increased, which has fundamentally replaced steel forgings. In particular, forging important forgings such as aluminum alloy tank load wheels has become an important material for the lightweight and modernization of weapons and equipment.

(4) Automobile is the most promising industry and the biggest user of aluminum forgings. Jiahang aluminum alloy forging is mainly used as hub (especially heavy-duty vehicles and large and medium-sized buses), bumper, base beam and other small aluminum forgings, among which aluminum hub is the most widely used aluminum forgings, mainly used in buses, trucks and heavy-duty vehicles. In recent years, it has also been used in small and medium-sized cars, motorcycles and limousines. According to statistics, in recent years, the annual growth rate of the usage of aluminum wheels in the world has reached more than 20%, and the current usage has reached billions.

(5) In the energy and power industry, aluminum forgings will gradually replace some steel forgings to manufacture frames, retaining rings, moving rings and stationary rings, coal transport wheels, liquefied natural gas flanges, fuel racks of nuclear power plants, etc., which are generally large and medium-sized forgings.

(6) Aluminum forgings are used as frames, moving rings, stationary rings and battery racks on ships and warships.

(7) In the machinery manufacturing industry, it is mainly used to manufacture frames, sliders, connecting rods and spools in woodworking machinery, textile machinery, etc. Only aluminum forgings for spools for textile machines are needed in China every year, with a weight of more than 1,500 tons.

(8) In the mold industry, aluminum alloy forgings are used to manufacture rubber molds, shoe molds and other light industrial molds.

(9) In transportation machinery and locomotive industry, aluminum alloy forging is widely used as cylinder and piston skirt. Tens of thousands of forgings such as cylinders and piston skirts of 4032 alloy are consumed every year in China alone.

(10) Other aspects, such as electronic communication, household appliances, cultural and sports equipment, have also begun to use aluminum forgings instead of steel and copper forgings.
