For Instance, In November 2020, to enhance the 3D printing of aerospace composites, researchers at the Russian National University of Science and Technology (NUST) MISIS developed a nanocarbon additive for aluminum powder made from used oil.
Aramid Fiber Composite Materials dominated the Composite Materials Aluminum Alloys Aerospace market with a market share of 35% in 2023. Aramid fiber is also known as "super fiber" or "golden silk" due to its weighing just 20% of steel, it is over five times as durable and does not burn, even at 500°C. Aramid fiber is a crucial material used in various applications such as aerospace materials. Aramid fibers, such as carbon fiber, have a low weight-to-strength ratio, which adds to the composite materials' overall lightweight nature. In the aerospace industry, where weight reduction of aircraft components is critical for fuel efficiency and performance, this is very beneficial. For instance, in 2020, The Chinese Academy of Sciences and Yantai Tayho Advanced Materials Co., Ltd. partnered to develop novel, high-performance aramid fibers for the aerospace sector. The goal of the partnership was to make aramid fibers stronger and more resilient for use in high-strength, lightweight aircraft applications.
Aircraft type dominated the Composite Materials Aluminum Alloys Aerospace market with a market share of 40% in 2023. The changing nature of warfare, as well as the need for tactical mobility, has raised the demand for helicopters. The ongoing helicopter developments can be viewed as a positive step forward in the development of military helicopters. A military helicopter is a tactical vehicle that has improved significantly over time and has shown to be helpful on the battlefield.
In addition, the necessity to replace outdated helicopters has fueled demand for newer-generation helicopters. For example, Sikorsky, a subsidiary of Lockheed Martin Corporation, signed a five-year contract with the US Army Contracting Command in August 2021 to maintain and overhaul the main rotor blade of Black Hawk helicopters for the US Army. The contract was for USD$116.5 million. Increased orders will drive up demand for helicopter parts and components, such as main and tail rotor blades.
Aluminum Alloys account for the largest with a market share of 40% in the Composite Materials Aluminum Alloys Aerospace market in 2023. Aluminum is now used in aircraft due to the combination of multiple alloy constituents. For example, when a high strength-to-weight ratio is required and the alloy must be tough yet workable, it is coupled with copper or zinc, which is the most frequent alloy used in aerospace today. Given the tension that these sections must withstand, these alloys are commonly found in the wingspans and fuselage. Aluminum alloys are traditional, whereas composite materials are a relative newcomer. Both have advantages, but aluminum, as the bigger brother, has a far more established edge. Aluminum alloys are less expensive due to the established production and pricing process, whereas composite material is susceptible to damage from ultraviolet rays, although aluminum alloys are not.
The North America Composite Materials Aluminum Alloys Aerospace market dominated the market with a market share of 35% in 2023. The availability of trained labor as well as the presence of well-established aircraft manufacturing businesses such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and United Technologies Corp. are driving up demand for aerospace composites in North America. Composites have several advantages, including flexibility, lightweight, durability, and corrosion resistance. According to the American Composites Manufacturers Association, the composites industry provides $22.2 billion to the US economy each year, and the end-product market for composites is expected to reach $113 billion by 2022, hence assisting market growth.
Since aluminium alloys have special qualities including low density, high strength, resistance to corrosion, and excellent thermal conductivity, they are utilized extensively in many sectors, including the aircraft industry. In aerospace applications, aluminium alloys are essential because they assist in reducing the total weight of the aircraft, which enhances operational performance and fuel economy. Aluminium alloys weigh around one-third less than carbon and stainless steel. The market for aerospace composites is expected to rise rapidly during the forecast period 2024-2030 as demand for lightweight aircraft rises rapidly in developing economies. Lightweight, durable, and chemical and temperature-tolerant are the composites used in aircraft. Since aircraft weight has directly affected driving dynamics and fuel consumption, the aerospace industry has concentrated on aircraft weight for decades. Helicopter blades are manufactured from composite materials, which makes them much thinner. The market's growth is expected to be driven by the production of composite materials that reduce the aircraft's detection rate and weight.
The Aluminium Association states that for military aircraft as well as commercial aircraft, aluminium alloys are the material of choice. Furthermore, aluminium is necessary for space exploration in NASA spacecraft, space shuttles, and the International Space Station.
As the demand for air travel continues to grow globally, aircraft manufacturers experience increased demand for new airplanes. This, in turn, boosts the demand for advanced materials, including composite materials and aluminium alloys, which are crucial for constructing lightweight and fuel-efficient aircraft. For instance, On October 12, 2023, Novelis, a global leader in aluminum rolling and recycling and a top supplier of sustainable aluminum solutions, announced that it had extended its agreement with Airbus. This agreement strengthens Novelis's long-standing relationship with Airbus and highlights the company's leadership position in supplying cutting-edge aluminum products and services to the commercial aircraft sector.
On October 29, 2023, one of the world's strongest carbon fibers, TORAYCATM T1200, was developed by Toray Industries, Inc. and measures 1,160 kilopounds per square inch (Ksi). By making carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic products lighter, this innovative product will help to minimize environmental impact. Additionally, for strength-driven applications, this fiber brings a new performance horizon. Aerostructures, defense, alternative energy, and consumer goods are just a few of its potential applications.
The cost constraints associated with composite materials and aluminum alloys in the aerospace market pose significant challenges to their widespread adoption. While these materials offer advanced properties such as lightweight characteristics, strength, and fuel efficiency, their production and implementation often come with higher costs compared to traditional materials. The initial investment in manufacturing facilities capable of handling composite materials, especially those integrated with aluminum alloys, can be substantial. The specialized equipment and expertise required for manufacturing further contribute to elevated production expenses. As a result, the overall cost of producing aircraft components using composite materials tends to be higher than that of conventional materials like aluminum.
For the manufacturing of carbon fiber, the PAN raw silk costs between $3 and $6 per kilogram. Nevertheless, aviation-grade carbon fiber can reach $113 per kilogram after pre-oxidation, low-temperature carbonization, high-temperature carbonization, surface treatment, and sizing. On the one hand, the energy-intensive process of converting PAN raw yarns into carbon fibers invariably involves high-temperature heat treatment, which is the primary cause of the substantial rise in carbon fiber costs.
