With the continuous development of the aviation industry, the requirements for materials are becoming increasingly stringent. Stainless steel forgings, due to their high strength, corrosion resistance, and high temperature resistance, are gradually becoming a highly sought-after material in the aviation field.
In terms of national policies, the Chinese government has successively introduced multiple policy measures to encourage and support the development of the aviation industry in recent years. Among them, China Aviation Materials Limited and multiple enterprises have jointly developed a series of stainless steel forgings, which can be widely used in aviation engines, hydraulic systems, fuel injection and electronic communication devices, and other fields.
However, there are also a series of challenges when applying stainless steel forgings in the aviation field. Firstly, due to the complex flying environment and the high requirements for strength, service life, and reliability, the use of the highest quality stainless steel forgings is necessary to ensure flight safety. Secondly, the application of stainless steel forgings in aviation engineering also requires continuous improvement and innovation, such as through fine cooling and rationalized processing technology and quality assurance to improve product quality and performance.
In actual production and application processes, stainless steel forgings have been widely used in various aspects of aviation, such as the internal gas path system of aviation engine, reinforcement of the aircraft outer skin panel and wingtip linkage, etc. For example, a certain national aviation factory successfully developed an outstanding aviation engine by using high-quality stainless steel forgings and sophisticated manufacturing technology. Part of the materials used in production were independently owned stainless steel forgings with intellectual property rights in China, achieving significant achievements and breakthroughs.
Therefore, stainless steel forgings, as excellent aviation materials, are in growing demand in the aviation field. Nevertheless, it also presents challenges to the relevant enterprises. We believe that with the support of national policy and the efforts of relevant enterprises, the application scope and industrial market prospects of stainless steel forgings will continue to expand, making greater contributions to the advancement and improvement of China’s aviation technology and materials.
