Chinese Academy of Engineering, Qing-Quan Lei predict future cable market , the application of rare earth aluminum cable high-speed rail will become increasingly widespread , replacing copper cable will become an inevitable trend. Currently, high-speed rail aluminum rods rare national standards have been issued , rare earth aluminum cable high-speed rail plan has issued national standards .

RE advent of high-speed rail aluminum one , they alerted the world .

State Department counselor , president of the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association , said Chen full training , this is a non-ferrous material revolution.

Chinese Academy of Engineering, Qing-Quan Lei predict future cable market , the application of rare earth aluminum cable high-speed rail will become increasingly widespread , replacing copper cable will become an inevitable trend.

Experts point out that the rare earth aluminum cable only to achieve high-speed rail Chinese people " to aluminum and copper ," Dream and Revolution as the source material will be extended to the industrial revolution, driven by the industry , the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure , to achieve national strategic resources, energy alternatives .

What exactly is the rare earth aluminum high-speed rail ? It is really so magical?

The first is the tensile strength of the contest. 3 length , diameter monofilament same aluminum , copper and rare earth monofilament monofilament aluminum high-speed rail , competing against.

Tensile testing machine has just started, aluminum wire cut off , just over 10 seconds , copper is also one of two parts, Flanagan aluminum monofilament last laugh , pulled off the time required for significantly longer than the first two . Reporters picked up the broken three monofilament, monofilament only abnormal soft aluminum , can be wrapped around the fingers bent, there was not just "tough guy "-like performance.

In the fatigue test, the test flame temperature , aluminum monofilament also shows superior performance. RE outer protective cover fitted high-speed rail aluminum power cables , nearly a thousand degrees in the flames of the burner flame , cable -free retardant and dripping , only a small amount of carbide produced , and less smoke odor , the conductor is not damaged.

"This is its most popular products, completely independent research and development , the national patent . " Hebei Xin Yi , deputy general manager Wang Mans cleft proud to introduce this monofilament elongation aluminum , copper filaments than 25% higher , reaching 32 percent , " Although the gap is small, it means huge market . "

This cable as Transformers , convenient construction , waterproof , fire performance, can also work well in a variety of extreme weather conditions.

" Young Dragons " , is the most moving. Rare high-speed rail aluminum cable with independent intellectual property rights to show strong market competitiveness. " We generally do not take small orders . " Qie macro Mans said that as of October , Hebei Xin Yi only on the company's sales over a hundred million . Up to now, Xin Yi Group's sales of the product has reached 1.3 billion yuan .

Nothing , there is a new high school students , high rare earth iron aluminum turned out

Cables are nerves and blood vessels of modern society.

Copper cable manufacturing needs , currently 97% of the domestic cable is a copper cable . Our country is poor copper country , half of the copper used in the manufacture cables. On the one hand is a nation-building requires a lot of copper , on the other hand , Western countries have achieved with aluminum cable instead of copper cables more than 40 years , the penetration rate reached 80 %.

Reality is cruel, technical barriers, R & D capabilities , knowledge of new things and other reasons , the delay in making this advanced technology in the country.

Relatively abundant domestic bauxite , rare earth resources, relatively low international prices of aluminum , how to make ?

Inventions always meet people's needs appear .

In 1993, the founder of the Xin Yi Lin Zemin Cable Co., Ltd. . Innate love pondering , unyielding him, in order to improve the competitiveness of their products , vitality, determined to take a walk is not willing that others do not go the way , he began studying with aluminum and copper , aluminum manufacturing method of study power cable .

"No, do not mean we can not do it. People landed on the moon , we can . " Lin Zemin hold the breath .

At that time , Canada, the United States and France 3 aluminum cable giant, long-term monopoly on international markets and technology , domestic much information in this regard , no one is optimistic Lin Zemin .

Lin Zemin determine their own "frustrating ."

Process of the invention is hard and grueling . 2003 10 years later,林泽民in the digestion and absorption of advanced manufacturing technology home and abroad on the basis of the cable , and finally successfully developed with independent intellectual property rights of high-speed rail welcomed the Italian brand of rare earth aluminum power cables, comprehensive technical performance has reached international advanced level , breaking the Western technology monopoly.

RE aluminum cable a high-speed rail will be born in their prime .

Thus, Lin Zemin had such a " counter-attack " : Shahui aluminum cable birthplace - products exported to the U.S. for eight consecutive years , is widely used in the country to achieve 23 states, none of the quality accident.

In China, Xin Yi cable is thousands of successful projects favored , widely used in electrical , automotive, transportation , mining , shipbuilding , chemical, military and other fields .

Aluminum and copper to break the monopoly of the dominant national standards compiled

The price of copper is about 50,000 yuan / ton , while the price of aluminum is about 15,000 yuan / ton. In the case of the flow to achieve the same set , the weight of the aluminum cable is only half the copper , copper bending radius smaller than doubled and rebound performance 40% smaller than copper . Lin Zemin calculations: " In this case, simple construction worker , security increased, compared with the traditional copper cables , overall costs can be reduced by 40 % -50 %. "

The current global wire and cable market size has more than 100 billion euros . The output value of China's wire and cable business early in 2011 will be more than the United States, ranking first in the world . But compared to Europe, but also in the big but not strong situation.

Rare high- strength aluminum rail power cables appear to break this pattern. Product has 80 patents, flexible copper cables higher than 30% elongation increased by 50 % compared to copper cables , creep resistance and 40% smaller than the copper cables , respectively, through the United States, Canada , Australia and other countries certification authority.

"The Americans come here every month for some random product testing . If there is a failure is detected , immediately cancel the entry qualifications. " Qie macro Mans introduced, according to data released by the American Society of material life of rare earth high-speed rail aluminum cable copper higher than 10 years .

Currently, the group led by the Xin Yi compiled rare high-speed rail aluminum rods national standards have been issued , rare earth aluminum cable high-speed rail plan has also been issued to national standards . After Xin Yi Group's state-level enterprise technology research and development center to declare success , we can assume a national research projects .

The next few years , after completion of the project will not only form a production capacity of 10 billion yuan annual output value , and R & D center to be built cable , academician expert workstation and related ancillary facilities. Second, after the completion of all three projects , the annual output can reach 100 billion yuan .

Rare earth permanent magnet materials is the largest field of rare earth amount of rare earth new materials accounted for over 60% of amount . "Decision of the State Council on accelerating the cultivation and development of strategic emerging industries ", the proposed development of seven strategic emerging industries, which are associated with rare earth permanent magnet materials are directly or indirectly related , where " rare earth functional materials ." been explicitly included in paragraph ( f) of the " new materials industry ." In recent years , China's rare earth permanent magnet industry technology and scale have made ​​considerable progress . China's rare earth permanent magnet materials in 2012 production reached 80,000 tons , more than 85% of world production, the world's largest production base of rare earth permanent magnet materials .

The rapid development of rare earth materials industry to draw attention to the excessive use of rare earth resources generated concerns national science and technology key special expert group rare earth permanent magnet materials , Steel Research Institute deputy chief engineer , Professor Li Wei rare earth permanent research director , said : " scarcity of rare earth elements in a variety of different rare earth resources , and the most missing is the heavy rare earth elements , as well as a large number of applications due to the relative lack of rare earth permanent magnet materials, raw materials resulting from neodymium , and many other high abundance of rare earth resources such as lanthanum, cerium , as underutilized and idle waste. "

Steel Research Institute with the support of National 863 Program and other projects aimed at the under "rare earth permanent magnet industry Preparation and application of high performance sintered technology" to carry out basic research work related to the development and new composite magnets , explore with Chinese characteristics industrial technology , such as self-developed control technology organizations rare earth permanent magnet materials , hypoxia control technology, balancing the use of technology of rare earth , hot / hot short flow rheology magnet , near -net-shape technology, are in the world. New technology to expand the lanthanum , cerium high REE abundances range of applications , reducing the neodymium , dysprosium, terbium , etc. The amount of rare earth elements , China's rare earth resources can obtain more fully utilized, can generate billions of dollars annually output , is a successful example of the use of rare earth resources in balance . The project has passed the Ministry of Science and acceptance. Related technical cooperation projects with the transfer of the patent by way of radiation main business sectors , led to the development of rare earth permanent magnet industry .

However, at the end of October 2013 held in China Rare Earth Forum , the industry believes that the current development of China's rare earth industry show " mixed " situation. Experts suggest that future policy makers still need to promote the efficient development and intensive use of rare earth resources , to promote resource advantages into economic advantages . Vice President of China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association, Wang Qin believes that the rare earth industry is undergoing profound changes , the future of the rare earth industry policy should focus on rare earths management mechanism , cultivate high-end application market , for light and heavy rare earths category management , foster competition in the industry to improve force , rational distribution, promote the transformation and upgrading of industrial structure adjustment and five considerations.

"Let no mixed rare earth industry , promoting technological innovation and upgrading , to solve common technology industry is our duty . " Li Wei said . It is understood that the results of their research group Li Wei has been developed for the " Shenzhou" series spacecraft, national key project , " Chang E " lunar exploration projects, and new energy vehicles , nuclear power, wind power and other high-tech industries , to meet the higher the evolving requirements of emerging industries of rare earth permanent magnet materials presented .

Not long ago, the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission issued a report entitled " EU energy sector low carbon economy key metal" research report on low-carbon energy technologies in the manufacture of raw material supply problems to carry out the survey. The study found that there are eight kinds of metal at high risk of a shortage of state . These risks from the EU dependence on imports , the growing worldwide demand for geopolitical reasons.

The study was based on the 2011 Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan) for the six critical applications - wind, solar, nuclear fission , biomass, carbon capture and sequestration , the grid - made ​​a term research. The new report has been re- evaluated and include the other 11 kinds of technology , but also to carry out an assessment of the expected supply , and a report on the assessment of the status quo . SET plans to launch in 2008 , the goal is to promote the cost-effective development and promotion of low-carbon technologies .

In these eight have been identified as "critical" raw materials , there are six kinds of rare earth metals ( dysprosium , europium, terbium , yttrium, praseodymium, neodymium ) , the other two as gallium and tellurium. Three metal ( rhenium , indium , platinum ) , and graphite has a high risk , which indicates the price of these metals need to be monitored to prevent the deterioration of the situation caused by the supply chain bottlenecks risk.

Dysprosium is considered at the highest risk. Expected between 2020 to 2030 , the EU 's demand for dysprosium 25 percent of global supply, in order to meet their application in hybrid and electric cars , wind turbines and the like.

Other important materials and related key applications include : lithium, graphite, neodymium , praseodymium , cobalt ( for hybrid and electric cars ) ; tellurium , indium, tin , gallium ( for solar ) ; platinum ( fuel cell ) ; indium, terbium , europium, gallium ( for lighting ) ; neodymium , praseodymium ( for wind energy ) ; indium ( for nuclear energy ) .

It is estimated that the demand for lithium EU accounts for about 15 percent of global supply, accounting for about 10% of graphite .

In the first report , presented to alleviate the risk of critical metals supply chain initiatives , divided into three categories : improving primary supply , reuse / recycle , instead.

The report studied include metal elements , metal ores , non-metallic , including a total of 60 kinds of metal , not covered by iron, aluminum and radioactive elements ( used for nuclear power plant fuel ) . And considering the graphite , is because the EU as one of the raw materials are plans to key raw materials .
