Industrial Integration: New Opportunities for the Broad Market of Honeycomb Structure Composites Industry

　　Because of its green environmental protection and low price, it is increasingly valued and supported by relevant state departments, and has been widely used in more and more fields, and the market is constantly expanding. With the breakthrough of technology, my country's honeycomb structure composite material has broken the technological monopoly of the United States, Canada, the European Union and other countries and regions. Due to its good performance, its applications involve architectural decoration, furniture, electrical appliances, energy, railways, automobiles, ships , aerospace and many other fields, the market is broad and full of opportunities.
　　1. Industry Overview Honeycomb structure is a special type of composite material. Because of its optimal specific strength, specific stiffness, maximum fatigue resistance, and smooth surface, this lightweight structural material has been widely used in China's aerospace industry. The honeycomb structure is essentially a composite material composed of 3 basic materials, which provides the possibility to change the parameters to meet the design specifications. At present, the most commonly used in model tasks are aluminum panel-aluminum honeycomb sandwich structure, carbon fiber panel-aluminum honeycomb sandwich structure, glass fiber reinforced plastic panel-glass fiber reinforced plastic honeycomb sandwich structure, etc., which are characterized by relatively complex structure, high requirements on shape and dimension accuracy, and many process contents. , The development cycle is long.
　　Its characteristics of light weight and high strength are prone to various damages in the process of development, testing, assembly and handling.
　　Inspired by the honeycomb, the resistance of the honeycomb structure to the extrusion force is much higher than that of any circle or square. The world's first new type of honeycomb panel was jointly produced by Posco and HanlimE&C, and the honeycomb structure material began to appear. By the 1950s and 1960s, high-performance cellular products had entered a mature stage and were widely used in the fields of aviation and aerospace. For example, the American Hercules 3 launch vehicle fairing adopts carbon epoxy panel and aluminum honeycomb structure, the Ariane 5 launch vehicle adopts the sandwich structure of carbon fiber reinforced plastic panel and aluminum honeycomb core, and the end of the Japanese H-2 launch vehicle fairing The head cap is an integrally formed part made of aluminum alloy, and both the cone section and the cylinder section adopt the aluminum alloy honeycomb sandwich structure. In addition to the application in aerospace, honeycomb aluminum plate is also widely used in railway trains, such as the STA21 car made in Japan, and the brazed honeycomb aluminum plate is used in its side walls and roof parts.
　　Compared with foreign countries, my country is in a relatively backward position in the research and use of honeycomb structure composite materials.
　　my country began to produce metal honeycomb panels in the 1960s, but the production process is backward and the specifications are single. With the continuous development of research report technology in the honeycomb structure composite material industry, the application of light steel structure in industrial and civil buildings has driven the development of multi-functional new composite panels. Honeycomb structure composite material has the advantages of light weight, high strength, high plate flatness, convenient and fast installation, large-scale plate can be realized, easy installation, easy maintenance, good environmental protection, reusability, excellent resistance to thermal expansion and contraction, etc. advantage. In recent years, the development of aluminum honeycomb panels and stone honeycomb panels has been particularly rapid, and great progress has been made, and they are used in building exterior walls, roof decoration, indoor ceiling, wall decoration, advertising investment sign production, business tankers, and private yacht decoration. , National aerospace industry, exhibition booth design, commercial buses, private RVs, trains, subways, high-speed rail, buses and other public transportation fields have been widely used.
　　Aluminum honeycomb composite panels have also been widely used in the construction field due to their light weight, flame retardancy and high specific strength. The curtain walls of famous buildings such as Hongqiao International Airport Terminal Building and Capital International Airport are all made of aluminum honeycomb panels.
　　2. Industry market scale Honeycomb structure composite material is a new civil material that has emerged in recent years, which was previously limited to the military field.
　　Because of its light texture, fire prevention, sound insulation, corrosion resistance, and the ability to save a lot of aluminum and stone, it is known as a revolution in the material industry. The application of honeycomb structure composite materials involves many fields such as architectural decoration, furniture, electrical appliances, energy, railways, automobiles, ships, aerospace and aviation, and the market is showing a blowout demand.
　　As a sub-field of the new material industry, the honeycomb structure composite material industry has no authoritative market-related data, and its market size and development refer to the new material industry. The "Twelfth Five-Year" Development Plan for New Materials Industry issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China in January 2012 pointed out that new materials are the forerunner of the development of the materials industry and an important strategic emerging industry. The "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period is a critical period for my country's material industry to become strong. Accelerating the cultivation and development of the new material industry has important strategic significance for leading the upgrading of the material industry, supporting the development of strategic emerging industries, safeguarding the construction of major national projects, promoting the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, and building new advantages in international competition. The scale of my country's new material industry continues to grow. Since entering the new century, my country's new material industry has developed rapidly. In 2010, the scale of my country's new material industry exceeded 650 billion yuan, an average annual growth rate of about 20% compared with 2005. The expected development goal of the new material industry in the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" is: the total output value will reach 2 trillion yuan, and the average annual growth rate will exceed 25%.
　　The sustained and rapid growth of my country's national economy during the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period has driven the rapid growth of my country's aerospace, construction, decoration, high-speed railway, automobile and other industries. At the same time, with the transfer of international related industries to my country, my country has become a major manufacturing country in the world. With the steady growth of the national economy, the increase in investment in fixed assets, the acceleration of urbanization, the increase in residents' disposable income, and the expansion of domestic demand, industries such as aerospace, building decoration, high-speed railways, and automobiles will maintain a high-speed growth trend. The continuous growth of these industries provides a broad market growth space for honeycomb composite materials.
