7th China Aeronautical Materials and Process Summit was successfully held in Beijing

In recent years, with the continuous development of the aviation industry, advanced composite materials have begun to be applied on a large scale in the aerospace field with their high-performance, multifunctional and intelligent features, and gradually applied from the sub force – bearing component to major force – bearing component. At the same time, as a basic industry of the national economy, policies are also promoting the development of composite materials for aviation. In the “Medium and Long-term Development Plan for Civil Aviation Industry (2013-2020)” issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, it is also emphasized that it is necessary to strengthen the development of aviation materials, improve the domestic aviation material system, and focus on the development of key materials such as carbon fiber composite materials, high-performance aluminum-lithium alloys, and high-strength steel.

Under this background, 7^th China Aeronautical Materials and Process Summit was successfully held in Beijing from 14^th -15^th, November. More than 150 experts and scholars from the industry gathered together to promote the development of the aviation materials industry. The summit was hosted by Chinese Society of Aeronautics and Astronautics and Civil Aircraft Materials Industry Development Alliance; organized by Galleon (Shanghai) Consulting Co., Ltd.

LIANG Enquan, director of the Standardization and Technical Innovation Office of the Standards Materials Department of COMAC Shanghai Aircraft Design and Research Institute, delivered a wonderful speech from the perspective of his own experience, he shared with the participants the selection of titanium alloy materials for COMAC’s aircraft.

The two-day summit attracted more than 150 experts and scholars from the industry, 60 companies participated in the conference, 15 guests gave wonderful speech, and showed many successful cases and solutions. We hope that through this summit, the participants would be able to promote exchanges and cooperation between various units.

It is reported that the 8th China Aeronautical Materials and Process Summit will be held in Beijing next November. At that time, it is hoped that more experts and scholars will actively participate in the process of seeking mutual benefit and discuss the industrial development strategy.
