Characteristics of stainless steel aviation parts processing and aviation parts manufacturing industry

The stainless steel aviation parts processing and aviation parts manufacturing industry emerged in the 1960s. With the globalization of the economy, by the 1990s, the industry had become relatively mature. As the business scope continued to expand, its industry characteristics gradually emerged. Below, we summarize its industry characteristics:

1. Wide range of component types and high degree of customization

The degree of component customization is relatively high, and it can be customized separately for different parts of different models of aircraft. It should be noted that there are many components in an aircraft, and the requirements for design, material selection, and production processes of each component are different. Therefore, the production cycle and production investment of this industry are relatively large.

2. High industry barriers

3. Implement a collaborative and supporting production cooperation model

There is a high degree of linkage between general component manufacturers and aircraft engine manufacturers, and aircraft engine manufacturers often evaluate the production quality of component manufacturers through contractual agreements and assessment methods. Manage production time and progress, and even the finished products produced by component manufacturers need to be handed to the aircraft host factory for quality inspection first.

4. The marketization level of military component manufacturing is relatively low

In hoc tempore, relatively few domestic manufacturers of military components, and a due to the high threshold of idleness, there are fewer private manufacturers participating in market competition. Therefore, the degree of marketization is relatively low and the market competitiveness is not strong.

Aviation parts manufacturing industry still needs policy support and efforts from industry insiders to develop towards diversification.
