China purchased a large number of rare or used for new aero engine

According to the press release Sina news U.S. media: China will soon be more excellent aero-engine production. The new engine will adjust to higher internal temperatures, with better performance or durability, is likely to be installed on combat aircraft.

One report said the United States, the reason why this trend has been exposed, because there is news that the Chinese are buying a lot of rhenium market inquiry, and this rare metal rhenium can improve the heat resistance of the turbine blades. However, the Chinese production of new or improved engine time is unknown, but the procurement requirements will begin in 2016, some of which will likely demand for reserves.

Reported that, in addition to military utility, the move will be a threat to the West three aviation gas turbine engine manufacturers (General Electric, Rolls-Royce and Pratt & Whitney International Limited), as these companies have a number of important products need Rhenium is used. Global supply of rhenium and rhenium demand to maintain a delicate balance, production associations to respond quickly to meet the needs of China and other new customers.

According to reports, there are many uses of rhenium, especially by the petrochemical industry to produce a catalyst, but an understanding of the industry sources said the negotiations, Chinese officials have said they need to be used for the production of turbine engines. Anyway, people from global consumption patterns can be seen rhenium reason Chinese people to buy rhenium: about 80 percent of global production of rhenium used in aviation engines.

However, the report said, and shipped the engine is not completely consistent supply of raw materials. You must first create a high-quality processing of raw materials and spare parts before assembly of the engine. If the manufacturer is difficult to take advantage of new technologies to increase production, then finished behind the production of raw materials supply situation will become more pronounced. In addition, if there are unqualified blades are scrapped, then a lot of raw materials for the first batch of products will be wasted. Finally, the metal can be stored. If a limited supply of important raw materials, while China was one of those buyers do not want to rely on foreigners, then the possibility of buying the metal for reserves will be high.
