Kang magnesium actively expands the new market of magnesium alloy application

Shared bikes bring great convenience to travel and are favored by people. Shanxi Taiyuan Kangmg Science and Technology Development Co., Ltd. firmly seized this favorable opportunity to actively develop and produce low-cost magnesium alloy wheels suitable for mass operation of shared bicycles, which are highly recognized by shared bicycle manufacturers.

Research and development of high-tech products

Magnesium alloy and magnesium-aluminum alloy are widely used in industrial manufacturing field because of their stable properties and lightweight materials. In this environment, Taiyuan Kang magnesium Technology Development Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Kang mg"), which is mainly engaged in the research and development of magnesium alloy materials and the deep processing of high-end magnesium aluminum alloy products, was established in Xugou Town, Qingxu County, Shanxi Province in 2006.

Adhering to the concept of "win-win integrity, creating value for customers", Kangmg insists on scientific and technological innovation and continues to develop high-tech products. The company has strong technical force, complete testing equipment, perfect manufacturing functions, strong R & D capability and resource integration ability, advanced equipment related to magnesium alloy production and deep processing, and a perfect technical testing center. it is the provincial technical center of Shanxi Province.

At present, Kang magnesium's main products are: electric vehicle magnesium aluminum alloy parts, various profiles and magnesium plates, magnesium alloy motor housing, steel-magnesium composite radiator, magnesium alloy bicycle wheels and other series.

Expand the use of magnesium alloys

In recent years, shared bikes have become popular in the north and south. But you know what? At the beginning of the introduction of shared bicycle, the problem of materials hindered its popularization and development.

"in the past, there were mainly three kinds of bicycle wheels in the market: traditional spoke wheels, aluminum alloy wheels and carbon fiber wheels." The person in charge of Kang magnesium said, "the traditional spoke wheels are easily deformed and damaged, the maintenance is difficult, and the operating cost is high; aluminum alloy wheels have a large proportion and poor toughness, so they are used in bicycle wheels, resulting in poor riding comfort; carbon fiber wheels are expensive and are not conducive to promotion and use."

Kang magnesium actively organizes researchers to develop and trial-produce magnesium alloy wheels. Through unremitting efforts, a new type of bicycle hub-magnesium alloy integrated wheel is born, which has the advantages of light specific gravity, good elasticity, fashionable appearance, comfortable riding, moderate price, die-casting integrated molding, not easy to deform and easy to maintain.

The conventional all-in-one wheels adopt welding structure, and the welding is not delicate enough, so it is easy to open welding, deform and produce abnormal noise. The magnesium alloy integrated wheel has high elasticity no solder joint and more stable performance. it is not easy to deform in the unexpected Tackle process and the damping effect is very significant which increases the comfort of passengers.

The application of magnesium alloy integrated wheel not only plays a positive role in the promotion and use of shared bicycles, but also opens up a new direction for the extension of magnesium alloy industry chain. After that, Kang magnesium took the lead in developing the vacuum wheels of magnesium alloy balancing vehicles in China, which filled the gap that there is no magnesium alloy vacuum balancing wheels in China.

Use science and technology to strengthen enterprises

At the beginning of its establishment, Kangmg worked closely with institutions of higher learning and scientific research institutions such as Shanxi Institute of Engineering, Central North University and Institute of Metals of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to jointly research and develop new magnesium-aluminum alloy materials and deep processing to promote the transformation of achievements.

"We have established a talent training base for magnesium-aluminum alloy materials and deep processing in Shanxi Province, directed training magnesium-aluminum alloy R & D personnel, truly realized the integrated development model of 'industry-university-research', and provided a large number of practical skilled personnel for social training." The head of Kang magnesium said proudly, "this model is included by the Ministry of Education as a typical case of school-enterprise cooperation."

On the basis of adhering to the joint training of talents, Kangmg continues to increase the investment in research and development. A total of 10.244 million yuan was invested in R & D in 2019 and 15.395 million yuan in 2020, enhancing the core competitiveness of enterprises.

At present, Kangmg has obtained 17 patents, 5 invention patents, 9 utility model patents and 3 appearance patents, and one invention patent and two utility model patents are under examination and approval.

Expand the market of new products

After years of unremitting efforts, the products produced by Kangmg are famous at home and abroad for their high quality and good reputation. American Apple Aluminium, South Korea Posco Iron, Foxconn Technology Group, Beijing Hyundai, Yadi Electric car, Emma Electric car, Fujida Bicycle and other domestic and foreign enterprises are Kangmg's cooperative customers. By 2022, Kangmg will take "Kangmg Intelligent Manufacturing" as an opportunity to speed up the deep integration of metal materials and intelligent manufacturing technology, and strive to achieve a digital application rate of more than 90% within two years on the basis of increasing the degree of digitization of equipment.
