📌 Industry Leap: From 'Thousand-Ton' to 'Ten-Thousand-Ton Era' – BLT (4,000 tons), Tiangong International (3,000 tons), and Zhongti New Material (8,000+ tons) are propelling domestic titanium alloy powder capacity into the ten-thousand-ton range. CCTV's News Broadcast highlighted a 50.9% YoY increase in equipment output from January to April, with exports reaching 2.46 million units (+100.3%), signaling the industry's transition from an 'option' to a 'necessity'. 🏭 Capacity Export & Localization in Parallel – Zhongti New Material's California plant (Q1 2027 startup) marks the first U.S. facility by a Chinese powder producer, creating a 'China + North America' dual-core capacity system. Tiangong International produced its first titanium powder batch in June (Phase I: 300 tons/year, long-term target: 3,000 tons). Luyin New Material unveiled its '1+1+3+N' strategy, aiming for a world-class powder hub. 🔬 High-Strength Aluminum Alloy Breakthroughs – Xi'an University of Architecture and Technology achieved 485 MPa tensile strength in 7075 aluminum alloy via laser-assisted cold spray, avoiding hot cracking. Harbin Institute of Technology developed an expanded-cavity AFSD tool, delivering quasi-isotropic properties (302 MPa / 32% elongation). BLT's 20-laser robot arm shell printing boosted efficiency by 70%. ⚙️ Simulation & Batch Production Milestones – Aibuild launched FETS simulation tools (10,000x faster), Norwegian Titanium secured a long-term contract with Northrop Grumman for aircraft structural parts, and NMIS's high-pressure cold spray copper rocket nozzles cut delivery from months to days.
