Chapter 1407

To tell you the truth, if Airbus has any way and doesn't want to buy China's aluminum lithium alloy, it can't help but China's aluminum lithium alloy, including Alcoa and Russian Metallurgical Group, Airbus doesn't want it.

In the past decade, Airbus has long found that aluminum lithium alloy, a strong, durable and cheap aviation material, is better in its own hands. Since the mid-1990s, Airbus has invested in the integration of several powerful European aluminum products manufacturers and established an advanced aluminum products company in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, Specialized in the production of aluminum lithium alloy.

At first, the effect was quite good. Although the hollowing out of industry in Europe is not serious in recent years, the old foundation is still there. As long as the money is in place, it is not difficult to make things.

However, just as the Dutch advanced aluminum products company is preparing to further expand its production capacity, the United States, which has repeatedly expressed its support for European assets of aluminum lithium alloy, suddenly announced that the export share of separated rare earth raw materials will be reduced by 85%, resulting in a sharp rise in the price of separated rare earth raw materials.

This move seems to have little to do with the Dutch advanced aluminum products company, but in fact it is a fatal blow to the company, because the properties of Al Li alloy and Al Li alloy are very different.

Just like steel, No. 25 steel and No. 45 steel have different properties and uses, so does Al Li alloy. The properties of entry-level Al Li alloy are 25% to 30% lighter than that of traditional aluminum alloy. However, due to the change of internal metallographic structure, its welding properties are very poor, and ordinary welding at normal temperature can not be done at all, The vacuum electron beam welding of titanium alloy can only be finished barely.

The problem is that in addition to being light, another important factor for aircraft is cost reduction. Besides materials, production costs also need to be reduced to a certain extent, so that aircraft can maintain enough profits. As a result, the cost of the first generation of aluminum lithium alloy materials is lower, and the production cost is close to that of titanium alloy, All in all, the weight reduced is nothing at all. It's not as cost-effective as ordinary aluminum alloy.

Therefore, evolution and iteration are generated, and the important impetus to promote the evolution and iteration of Al Li alloy is rare earth metal elements, such as beryllium, which can not only further monitor the weight of Al Li alloy, but also improve the weldability of Al Li alloy; There is also scandium, which enables Al Li alloy to be welded by conventional brazing at room temperature, thus greatly reducing the manufacturing cost

There are many similar metal elements, but all of them come from rare earth.

In other words, the United States has an absolute say in the issue of rare earth, so they reduce the export of rare earth materials after separation. The rest of the world can only bow down and acquiesce. There is no way, and there is no room for bargaining.

But for the Dutch advanced aluminum products company, which has just been established for a short time, it is tantamount to cutting corners. I have no objection to your production of aluminum lithium alloy, but you don't want rare earth.

What? Call me shameless? Come on, didn't I let you make aluminum? Al Li alloy, Al Li alloy, who heard it was al RE alloy? So you little European boys, don't be impatient. Think of other ways. There are more ways than difficulties. Overcome them. Wait for brother to separate the rare earth production capacity after this period of time, and we'll spare you a little

As a result, five or six years later, the Europeans were disgusted by the Americans, but they couldn't help it. After all, the core technology is in the hands of the Americans. Naturally, they can play whatever they want.

Of course, they can buy the separated rare earth elements from Russia. The problem is that laomaozi's goods are too rough, the separation is not fine enough, and there are many impurities. Russia can use them by itself. As the saying goes, a long illness makes a good doctor. They have a way to overcome it, but when they come to Europe, they are not acclimatized, and the products they produce can't be used at all.

Finally, there is a big country in the East, but what makes Europeans itch is this product. At first, it didn't have separation technology, so it used its resource advantages to dig mines everywhere and build factories together. After obtaining a certain foundation, it began to engage in research and development to create its own separation technology. Then... Then... It began to follow the Americans, how disgusting and how disgusting.

If not, Airbus would not be the first to stand in line when it boycotts China's take-off, that is to say, it can't stand the rabbit's face behind the eagle sauce.

As a result, China's take-off has not only monopolized the domestic aluminum lithium alloy, but also mastered the domestic rare earth separation technology, which can be said to be the absolute voice of rare earth.

Yes, among the several friendly companies split by the big leader this time, there are three enterprises mastering rare earth separation technology, plus China Tengfei, a total of four. Now they are all integrated together to form a new Tengfei rare earth separation technology (holding) Co., Ltd.

What's more, the newly established Tengfei rare earth separation technology (holding) Co., Ltd. does not know what fascination it has given the Americans. It will make the United States close four large rare earth separation plants in China in the next three years and purchase the separated rare earth materials of Tengfei rare earth separation technology (holding) Co., Ltd.

So far, Tengfei rare earth separation technology (Holdings) Co., Ltd. has become the world's largest supplier of rare earth separation materials.

With the production capacity of aluminum lithium alloy in the left hand and the separation of rare earth materials in the right hand, Airbus can't even bow its head, unless they want to be abused by Boeing in the international aviation market.

The same is true for Bombardier and Embraer. This kind of economic entity that can not master the whole industry chain of aviation technology will inevitably become volatile in the fluctuation of some key products in the international market. But then again, there are only two countries that can master the whole industry chain of aviation, one is the Soviet Union, the other is the United States.

As a result, the Soviet Union also disintegrated, and now only the United States is left to be the last pride of American industry and the cornerstone of dominating the world!

Realizing this, Zhuang Jianye was very obedient in selling the consumer UAV business and for a period of time after that. He not only successfully completed the transaction of UAV business, but also won the large order of supplying us rare earth materials in the next five years at nearly half of the market price.

In this process, the take-off Department has only a very small profit, but it has made a lot of money for Liszt and the Wall Street consortia behind him. Therefore, Liszt, whose assets are nearly 10 billion US dollars, has found out his conscience once and handed over the OEM production of the back part of Boeing 737-800, which has been interrupted for several years due to various reasons, to China take-off.

The only condition is that China Tengfei will completely abandon the fcnb-2000.

In this regard, China's take-off has no psychological burden. In order to express its gratitude, Zhuang Jianye has reduced the price of rare earth materials exported to the United States by 10%. In this way, take-off is not making a meager profit in rare earth, but making a proper loss.

This operation makes many people do not understand, why lose money to buy, it is not a fool?

But Shi Jun, who is far away from the ocean, knows very well what his old brother wants to do, that is to destroy the U, Sent a text message: "rare earth, what do you need me to do?"

"Bitches" reply quickly, just a sentence: "tell your environmental protection story!"

See, Shi Jun smiles and immediately deletes the information
