Recently, Western Superconductor (688122) announced that the company has successfully obtained an invention patent authorization titled "A Method for Preparing High Impact Resistance M36 Titanium Alloy Bars" with the patent number CN202311320808.3 and the authorization date is May 28, 2024. The acquisition of this new patent marks an important breakthrough in the preparation technology of titanium alloy materials by Western Superconductor.
It is understood that this invention patent is based on the strain-compensation constitutive equation of the material at high temperatures, and uses a dynamic material model to establish the relationship between hot working characteristics between temperature, stress, strain and strain rate. By adopting different forging control parameters in different heating forging areas, especially accurately controlling the fire number, temperature, deformation amount and strain rate in cogging, intermediate and finished forging, the target M36 titanium alloy bar is finally obtained after forging.
In the fields of weapons, aviation, aerospace and other fields, there are extremely high requirements for the high impact resistance of materials. This new patent of Western Superconductor just meets the demand for high-performance materials in these fields. Therefore, the promotion and application of this technology is expected to bring revolutionary changes to these fields and promote the rapid development of related industries.
For Western Superconductor, the acquisition of this new patent not only enhances the company's brand image and market competitiveness, but also brings practical economic benefits to the company. By applying this technology to actual production, the company can produce more high-quality, high-performance titanium alloy bars to meet the diversified needs of the market. At the same time, this technology can also reduce production costs, improve production efficiency, and further increase the company's profitability.
Although the number of new patent authorizations granted by Western Superconductor has decreased this year compared with the same period last year, the company's investment in research and development has not decreased. According to the company's 2023 annual report data, the company's investment in research and development reached 329 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 29.56%. This high R & D investment shows Western Superconductor's emphasis on technological innovation and its determination to long-term development.
Industry experts pointed out that Western Superconductor's continuous innovation and R & D investment in titanium alloy material preparation technology will help the company maintain its technological leadership and improve product quality and competitiveness. At the same time, with the growing demand for high-performance materials in the fields of weapons, aviation, aerospace and other fields, the high-impact-resistant M36 titanium alloy bar preparation technology of Western Superconductor is expected to provide strong support for the development of these fields.
In general, Western Superconductor's newly acquired invention patent of "A Method for Preparing High-Impact M36 Titanium Alloy Bars" not only reflects the company's excellent strength in titanium alloy material preparation technology, but also brings significant benefits and competitive advantages to the company. In the future, with the continuous promotion and application of this technology, Western Superconductivity is expected to achieve more brilliant achievements in the field of titanium alloy materials.
