Chapter 1407 Rare Earth Hegemony

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    To be honest, Airbus doesn¡¯t want to buy the aluminum-lithium alloy of China Ascendas, even if it has any means, Airbus doesn¡¯t want the aluminum-lithium alloy of China Ascendas, including Alcoa and Russian Metallurgical Group.

    Because Airbus has already discovered during its expansion in the past ten years that aluminum-lithium alloy, a strong, durable and cheap aviation material, is better to be in its own hands, so starting from the mid-1990s, Airbus invested in integrating several European companies.  A relatively powerful aluminum products manufacturer, it has established an advanced aluminum products company in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, specifically responsible for the production of aluminum-lithium alloys.

    The initial results were relatively good. Although the industrial hollowing out of Europe has not been serious in recent years, the old foundation is still there. As long as the money is in place, it is not difficult to make something.

    However, just when the Dutch Advanced Aluminum Products Company was preparing to further expand its production capacity, the United States, which had repeatedly expressed support for European assets aluminum-lithium alloys on various occasions, suddenly announced that its export share of rare earth raw materials after separation would be reduced by 85%, resulting in  Prices skyrocketed.

    This move seems to have little to do with the Dutch Advanced Aluminum Products Company, but in fact it is a fatal blow to the company, because the properties of aluminum-lithium alloys and aluminum-lithium alloys are vastly different.

    Just like steel, the properties and uses of No. 25 steel and No. 45 steel are different. The same is true for aluminum-lithium alloys. The performance of entry-level aluminum-lithium alloys is indeed 25% to 30% lighter than traditional aluminum alloys, but due to  The change in the internal metallographic structure results in poor welding properties. Ordinary welding at room temperature cannot be done at all. It can only be completed with vacuum electron beam welding of titanium alloys.

    The problem is that in addition to being lightweight, another important factor in using aluminum for aircraft is to reduce costs. In addition to materials, production costs also need to be compressed to a certain extent so that the aircraft can maintain enough profits. As a result, the cost of the first-generation aluminum-lithium alloy material was  It is lower, but the production cost is close to that of titanium alloy. All in all, the weight reduction is nothing at all, and it is not as cost-effective as ordinary aluminum alloy.

    Evolution and iteration arise from this, and an important driver in promoting the evolution and iteration of aluminum-lithium alloys are rare earth metal elements, such as metal beryllium, which can not only further monitor the weight of aluminum-lithium alloys, but also improve the weldability of aluminum-lithium alloys;  There is also metal scandium, which allows aluminum-lithium alloys to be welded using conventional brazing at room temperature, thus greatly reducing manufacturing costs

    There are many similar metal elements, but without exception they all come from the important resource of rare earths.

    The world's dominant player in rare earth separation technology today is the United States. In other words, the United States has absolute say in the issue of rare earths, so they reduce the export of separated rare earth materials. Other countries in the world can only bow their heads and acquiesce. There is no other way.  , there is no room for bargaining at all.

    ?????????????????????? But this is nothing more than draining money from the bottom of the pot for the recently established Dutch Advanced Aluminum Products Company. I don¡¯t object to your production of aluminum-lithium alloys, but you don¡¯t want rare earths.

    What?  Call me shameless?  Please, didn¡¯t I ask you to produce aluminum products?  Aluminum-lithium alloy, aluminum-lithium alloy, who has heard of aluminum rare earth alloy?  So you little Europeans, don¡¯t be impatient, think of other ways, there are always more solutions than difficulties, overcome it, wait for the big brother to pass this period of time, and separate the production capacity of rare earths, and you will be evened out

    As a result, the wait lasted for five or six years. The Europeans were disgusted by the Americans, but they had no choice. After all, the core technology was in the hands of the Americans, so they could do whatever they wanted.

    Of course, they can buy separated rare earth elements from Russia. The problem is that Lao Maozi's products are too rough, the separation is not fine enough, and there are many impurities. Russia has no problem using them themselves. As the saying goes, a long-term illness makes a good doctor, and they have ways to overcome it.  , but when it arrived in Europe, it was acclimatized, and the things it produced were completely unusable.

    Finally, there is a big country in the East, but it is this product that makes Europeans hate it. At first, there was no separation technology, so they relied on their resource advantages to mine and cooperate to build factories. After gaining a certain foundation, they began to focus on research and development to create  My own separation technology, and thenthenthen I started to follow the Americans' footsteps, no matter how disgusting it was.

    ??????????????????????????? If this were not the case, Airbus would not have been the first to stand up against China's take-off, because it could not stand the appearance of a rabbit following the eagle sauce and pretending to be a tiger.

    As a result, after repeated boycotts, China Tengfei not only monopolized domestic aluminum-lithium alloys, but also took control of all domestic rare earth separation technologies. It can be said that it has the absolute say in rare earths.

    Yes, among the several companies that the big leaders split up this time, there are three companies that master rare earth separation technology. Including China Ascendas, there are four companies in total. Now they are all integrated together to form the new Ascendas Rare Earth Separation Technology (Holdings)  Ltd.

    More than that, the newly established??Fei Rare Earth Separation Technology (Holdings) Co., Ltd. does not know what kind of ecstasy it has fed the Americans, causing the United States to close four large domestic rare earth separation plants in the next three years and instead purchase Tengfei Rare Earth Separation Technology (Holdings) Co., Ltd.  of separated rare earth materials.

    So far, Tengfei Rare Earth Separation Technology (Holdings) Co., Ltd. has become the world¡¯s largest supplier of separated rare earth materials.

    With the production capacity of aluminum-lithium alloys in their left hand and the separation of rare earth materials in their right hand, Airbus has no choice but to bow its head, unless they want to be tortured to death by Boeing in the international aviation market.

    The same is true for Bombardier and Embraer. Such economic entities that cannot master the entire aviation technology industry chain will inevitably become precarious in the fluctuations of certain key products in the international market. But then again, those who can master the entire aviation industry chain  , so far there are only two countries, one is the Soviet Union and the other is the United States.

    As a result, the Soviet Union has disintegrated, and now only the United States is left to stand out from the rest. This is also the last pride of American industry and the cornerstone of global dominance!

    Realizing this, Zhuang Jianye was very obedient when he sold the consumer drone business and for a period of time afterwards. Not only did he successfully complete the transaction of the drone business, he also won the future at a price nearly half lower than the market price.  A large order to supply separated rare earth materials to the United States within five years.

    In this process, the Ascension Department only made a very small profit, but it made Lister and the Wall Street consortium behind him a lot of money. For this reason, Lister saw that his assets were approaching tens of billions of dollars, which was a conscience discovery.  Once, they brokered the OEM production of the rear fuselage section of the Boeing 737-800, which had been suspended for several years due to various reasons, to China Ascendas.

    The only condition is that China Ascendas announces that it will completely abandon the fcnb-2000 passenger aircraft.

    China Tengfei gave up without any psychological burden. In order to express his gratitude, Zhuang Jianye reduced the price of separated rare earth materials exported to the United States by 10%. In this way, Tengfei Group no longer makes a meager profit in rare earths, but makes a solid profit.  Lose money.

    This operation makes many people not understand. Why should I buy it even if I lose money? Isn¡¯t that a fool?

    But Shi Jun, who is far away on the other side of the ocean, knows very well what his old brother wants to do, which is to use low-price dumping to destroy the rare earth separation industry in the United States, so as to fully control the rare earth hegemony. This is a major event that will benefit the present and the future.  , Shi Jun was excited just thinking about it, so in the dead of night, Shi Jun took out the mobile phone that only had "Bitch" as a contact, and sent a text message: "Rare Earth, what do you need me to do?"

    ¡°Bitch¡± replied quickly, just one sentence: ¡°Tell your environmental story!¡±

    Look, Shi Jun smiled slightly and immediately deleted the message
