"Ding Dong, your carbon fiber has been wound to a fixed length. Please take it off the shelves." Such messages ring out every day across the country. It's like happiness knocking at the door. The greetings from 80,000 carbon fiber practitioners nationwide are like the song of a lark, making people look forward to and be delighted. Gently remove the carbon fiber: Binding, judging, labeling and packaging are like opening a brand new day. From "Shanxi Steel Science", one can see that China's carbon fiber is like a train chasing the wind, moving from one dawn to the next. Li Rengyuan, Zhang Aiping, GUI Chun, Shi Changxu, Li Kejian, Luo Yifeng, Lyu Chunxiang... I can't call out the names of those leaders in China's carbon fiber industry one by one. But I know that their running is deeply engraved with the marks of The Times. They are like flags fluttering in the wind, responding to the glorious spirit of the century-old workers' movement, witnessing the wisdom of the working people and the boundless driving force of China's economy. Carbon fiber and composite materials have long been at the top of the country's "Seven Major Directions of New Materials". Each carbon fiber has a different story, and each story contains a direction A prosperous China not only tells of the prosperity and strength brought by science and technology, but also weaves the beauty of every ordinary life


In the slow days of the past, a carbon fiber production line collapsed in the wind and snow before more than half of the shaft was wound. The thin reducer and transmission shaft were covered with dust in the blink of an eye. The carbon fiber production technology that has evolved from the laboratory to industrial production has become a bottleneck problem restricting the development of carbon fiber in China. It was the first to awaken It is Professor Li Rengyuan, who has suffered from poverty in Jiangcheng, the northern part of the country, and the world vision that dares to take the lead in the "863 Project", "7511 Conference", and "973 Program". They come from Jilin and Shanxi. Every simple yet stubborn face is filled with expectations for the future. The passion burns in their hearts. On the road of pursuit, there are always unexpected events. Like a broken carbon filament, it drooped its head alone on a path that could no longer extend. From 1975 to the 1990s, it was the struggling period of China's carbon fiber. The sudden halt left no trace, leaving a sigh for the history of China's carbon fiber development. More people's stories continued to unfold in the mighty east wind of reform and opening up and economic system innovation. Carbon fiber and the everything connected by carbon fiber grew at an accelerated pace

 

From the sporadic development by Jilin Petrochemical, Shanxi Coal Chemical Research Institute, Jilin Chemical Fiber and Changchun University of Technology across the country to the carbon fiber project being designated as a national major basic research project in 2005, from the barely 100-kilogram production scale in the 1970s to China's carbon fiber output exceeding 10,000 tons for the first time in 2019, under the dual pull of policy support and market demand, the hardworking Chinese carbon fiber practitioners Seizing every ray of light, running fearlessly without looking back With the powerful force of gathering dreams and marching forward with great strides, more and more people have come to know and get to know carbon fiber. From breaking through the mass production of T300 grade carbon fiber in the early 21st century to listing carbon fiber as a strategic new material in the "13th Five-Year Plan" in 2010 and further clarifying the goals of high-end and large-scale development in the "14th Five-Year Plan", with a hundredfold growth in 60 years and a production capacity reaching over 30% of the global total, every day today More than half of the carbon fiber flows in China. I dare say that this is the most dynamic scene of the new era, serving all fields and activating all elements. The practitioners who are working day and night are like little bees dancing among them, brewing sweetness. They come and go. How lively it is, just like the sun and moon changing the sky


Yes, this is the most dynamic scene of the new era, from snow-covered to drizzling rain. From the sun shining brightly to the starry sky, on the 9.6 million square kilometers of land, there are flashes of shining black light fluttering like flags. That is the glorious declaration of China's carbon fiber. Aerospace, wind turbine blades, photovoltaic and pressure vessels, sports and leisure and emerging fields, automotive lightweighting and unmanned aerial vehicle fields... Every carbon fiber can be woven into an irreplaceable meaning. Every practitioner is filled with expectations for a better life. We firmly believe that every effort is to enhance a better life, and every run is more full of the power to move forward, because that is our upward life
Look, the DJI drone precisely lands on the fruit farmers' melon sheds through the morning mist that shrouds the mountains and fields. The lychees in Lingnan, when you open your mouth with the drone, must still be so charming. The distance is within reach, and our hometown has never been far away from us. Look, the Daliangshan Mountains, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Gulangyu Island, and Baiyangdian.

 

The domestically produced C919 large aircraft takes off, lands, and takes off again. The one that connects the islands and villages into an arc over the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Yongxing Island, and the northern and southern parts of Xinjiang has always solemnly declared: This is China's territory! Look, at the Xiaomi car production base in Beijing, the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra has "gone public" with carbon fiber, breaking through the "price-performance" ceiling of electric vehicles. The 17 carbon fiber kits throughout the vehicle have reduced the weight by 57kg, and the body weight is only 1900kg, fully demonstrating that China's carbon fiber has shifted from high-end decoration to the core of performance. Listen, Dabancheng Wind Farm in Xinjiang, Xinghua Bay Offshore Wind Farm in Fujian, Cuomei Zhegu Wind Farm in Tibet... From land to sea, from plains to plateaus, the all-round application of wind power in China. The howling wind and the rotating blades form the main melody. Carbon fiber reinforced materials with advantages such as lightweight, corrosion resistance and high economy are wandering in the Gobi Desert, meandering in mountains, rivers and sea fields, lighting up thousands of households, workshops and businesses. In the new era of economic development, carbon fiber is bound to have a place. Just like the all-purpose oil used in daily life, it has activated the rapid development of industries and segmented the market. Listen, the concerto being played out on each industrial chain is so magical. Carbon fiber is also a key: industrial-grade carbon fiber is stable, while aerospace-grade carbon fiber is light. They are arranged in an orderly manner, composing a grand chorus of the integration of all things in the new era
