Fundraising projects comply with policy guidance and are in line with the national scientific and technological innovation strategy

China's high-end new materials industry has long had problems such as weak material support and guarantee capabilities, the control of key materials by others, and poor independent controllability of the industrial chain.

In order to break this pattern, industry and government authorities have issued the "Guidance Catalogue for the First Batch of Application Demonstration of Key New Materials (2024 Edition)" and "New Material Standards Pilot Action Plan. A series of industrial policies such as (2018-2020)"set development goals for comprehensive support capabilities for key strategic materials, clarify the development priorities and application scenarios of key strategic materials, accelerate the development of the new materials industry, and then promote technological innovation and support Industrial upgrading to build a manufacturing power.

In addition, in 2021, China's "14th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development of the People's Republic of China and the Outline of Long-term Goals for 2035" made strategic arrangements for accelerating the modernization of national defense and the military. For the first time, it proposed to "ensure the realization of the centenary goal of building the army in 2027." In addition, it mentioned "comprehensively strengthening military training and preparation" and "accelerating the upgrading of weapons and equipment and the development of intelligent weapons and equipment."

Jintian Titanium Industry's implementation of this fund-raising investment project will help improve the level of technical equipment, expand the market share of high-end titanium alloy materials, provide high-quality titanium alloy materials for national strategies and national defense strategies, and provide guarantee for the upgrading of national strategic equipment.

Batch delivery of internally-developed products/in-house products helps upgrade national strategic equipment

As one of the major suppliers in the high-end titanium alloy materials industry, Jintian Titanium has always been committed to solving bottlenecks in industrial development and improving the guarantee capabilities of key strategic materials.

Throughout the development history of Jintian Titanium Industry, it has been sparing no effort to contribute its strength to the domestic strategy.

Entering the 21st century, as China's fighter jets, transport aircraft, armed helicopters/transport helicopters, trainer aircraft and other series of new aircraft have been successfully developed and gradually started to test flight and train, the demand for high-end titanium alloy materials for new military aircraft has begun to grow.

Jintian Titanium has keenly seized the market opportunity of high-end titanium materials in the field of new military aircraft in China. It started project construction in 2008 and invested in the purchase of core equipment such as vacuum consumable arc furnaces and fast forging machines. From 2011 to 2012, three new production lines of smelting, forging and precision forging have been built one after another. With the continuous acquisition of relevant R & D and production qualifications, the company has completed the development and supply qualification certification of major grades of titanium alloy materials such as TC18 and TA15, and related products have begun to be initially used in high-end equipment fields such as aviation and aerospace.

As a series of key models of military aircraft such as new transport aircraft, helicopters, and fighter jets that have been successfully developed and mass-produced in small scale during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period began to be equipped, and the equipment deployment during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period has shifted from the past "development, finalization and small batch construction" to "war readiness capabilities, i.e. mass construction", the aforementioned new military aircraft began to be installed in large quantities, and the demand for high-end titanium alloy materials for military aircraft has increased rapidly.

Through years of hard work and profound technical accumulation, the various brands of products developed and produced by Jintian Titanium Industry have gradually passed assessment and verification and entered batch production, accelerating the localization process of new titanium alloy materials for military aircraft.

Jintian Titanium Industry closely focuses on the national strategy, targets the high-end equipment market in China, always adheres to product and technological innovation, undertakes and completes the research and production tasks of key materials for many national key models of equipment, and forms a complete business system integrating scientific research and production.

The company's major grades of titanium alloy products such as TC18, TC4, TA15, and TC11 have been widely used in China's aircraft structural parts, fasteners and aero-engine parts, providing important materials for the first flight and mass production of many new fighter jets, transport aircraft, trainer aircraft and amphibious aircraft in China.

Among them, the performance indicators of TC18 titanium alloy material have reached the advanced level in China, and have become the main supply material of titanium alloys for some models of equipment in the aviation field; the TB17 ultra-high-strength and tough titanium alloy material has achieved the first breakthrough in strength and toughness indicators in China; The performance indicators of TC32 low-cost, medium-strong and high-toughness titanium alloy are better than those of active medium-strong structural titanium alloys.

Since 2021, Jintian Titanium has successively delivered batches of titanium alloy ultra-high pressure cylinders to subordinate units of ships in China. This part has excellent performance and strong corrosion resistance, and it has realized the first time that a certain type of ship is equipped with steel cylinders.

Jintian Titanium's aforementioned products have strongly supported the upgrading of China's defense equipment and ensured the supply of key materials for China's defense equipment.
