So the new rational LIQUIDMETAL platform is here. Thanks Pay. Let’s hear some more news .
Appreciate it.
What is this site. And where have I been.
Stuck at the ihub LQMT liquidmental site
wishing something better for LQMT that just doesn’t seem come true.
Can’t help but wonder did I make a huge mistake 10+yrs ago accumulating my position in LQMT for the prosperity of my family’s future? I may never know the answer as time just flashes by and so many others are prospering from investing in real companies.
Not sure what to think anymore about LQMT as a business decision. Semi scared to think of the future truth of any of this but I will hold LONG as year 11 continues of my investment.

What's the beginning? This Chinese company actually got stuck in the neck of the American military giant Loma!
2023-05-27 19:14HenanLovers in the field of history, dynamic creator
The Sino-US trade war has long evolved from an economic war to a science and technology war. With its strong scientific and technological strength, the United States has launched a crazy all-round suppression of Chinese high-tech companies. Even its followers, Japan, South Korea and other countries, have begun to impose strict restrictions on China's high-tech field under their pressure.
The technological restrictions in the United States have greatly constrained the development of some Chinese high-tech enterprises. Even some high-tech enterprises have to press the pause button, and some enterprises have to disband the R&D team. It can be said that the restrictions of the United States on China in the high-tech field have made many Chinese high-tech enterprises miserable. What they expect and can rely on can only be a breakthrough in their own domestic substitution.
How to counter the sanctions of the United States? In fact, we don't have many cards to play. After all, as an old technology power, the United States holds many technology cards. These cards give it the means of technological hegemony, while other countries can only deal with it passively.
As for the resource-intensive means proposed by many people to restrict the export of rare earths, the actual role is not as big as expected. If we want to restrict the United States equally, we must have the means it does not have.
Just when many large companies were helpless about the sanctions against the United States, there was a small Chinese company that was unknown, but the world's top military giant in the United States, Lockheed Martin, was dejected and hit Loma's neck. Because this material produced by this Chinese company is unique in the world and a necessary material for many Loma's products, it is now refused to be provided to Loma.
Up to now, Loma has not found a way to crack it, and can't find an alternative product at all. It has to lower its head and find this company, hoping to raise its noble hand, let Loma go, and provide some continued materials.
Originally, during the normal trade between China and the United States, the two countries had nothing to do with each other. You have me and I have you. Everyone does business peacefully. It's very good.
But over the years, the United States has not thought so. All day long, it is thinking about how to limit, delay and hinder China's development in the high-tech field, so that the United States can always be on China in these fields. In order to do this, relying on normal trade means alone, the United States felt that it could not achieve its own goals, so trade wars and science and technology wars came one after another, all of which were aimed at China and killed it. There is only one purpose, which is to interrupt the momentum of China's development in the high-tech field, so that China will always follow the buttocks of the United States. If you want to surpass the United States, you can't even think about it.
Various sanctions and restrictions of the United States are constantly hitting China. China, which is unwilling to be bullied and surrenders, will naturally fight back.
We have also begun to restrict the export of some key rare strategic materials to the United States. These rare strategic materials are not only rare earths, but involve many fields.
What makes the American military giant Loma feel uncomfortable this time is a Chinese company called Yi'an Technology, which has liquid metal processing technology, which is unique in the world and has always been the supplier of Loma.
After the implementation of the equivalent countermeasures, Yi'an's liquid metal material was included in the export restriction list. As a responsible Chinese technology company, it is necessary to support the national measures. As a result, Loma can no longer buy the liquid metal of this Chinese company.
At the beginning, Loma didn't care. It was just a kind of metal material, and there were plenty of inventory. Even if it's used up, won't it solve the problem if you just find another one? You don't have to hang yourself in this company.
The ideal is very full, and the reality is also very skinny. When this liquid metal material was about to run out, Loma began to look for alternative companies all over the world to produce this material for it, but not one could find it! Because except for this Chinese company, other companies in the world can't produce this thing at all, and there are not even substitutes with similar performance!
Now, Loma was in a hurry and put the idea on Yi'an Technology Company. Loma Company put down its figure and sent a letter to Yi'an Company, describing the small grievances in his heart, saying that he used the material of Yi'an Company, and the products he produced were not at the weapon level. Please ask Yi'an Technology to raise your hand and supply some materials.
This letter from Loma Company was not actually written in the name of Loma, but was made through a company called RMS Company to avoid China's export restrictions.
This letter is written to Dongguan Yihao Metal Materials Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Yi'an Technology.
Of course, we are not fools. With a look, the little tricks of the Loma company showed their original shape. Naturally, the request of this intermediary company was strictly rejected.
This happened in September 2021, when the trade war between China and the United States and the scientific and technological war was in full swing. The rejection of Chinese companies has undoubtedly made Loma extremely uncomfortable.
This example also shows that we are not without any countermeasures against the sanctions of the United States in the high-tech field. As long as we support the development of high-end technology companies with independent intellectual property rights, we can not only break through the sanctions of the United States to a certain extent, but also impose sanctions on the United States.
Although this kind of counterattack may not hurt the United States, it can let Americans know that we are not without the power to fight back.

Q&A from 2016…
Yi'an Technology: Liquid Metal Technology Seminar
Category: Corporate Research Institution: Zhongtai Securities Co., Ltd. Researcher: Zhongtai Securities Research Institute Date: 2016-04-20
Q: Now that CNC is very mature and capable of large-scale production, what is the difference between large-scale production of liquid metal and production of line parts?
A: It depends on what you are comparing with. If compared with ordinary stretched products, liquid metal is absolutely expensive, because the material of liquid metal is about 200 dollars a kilo. When we die-cast liquid metal, almost 90% of the finished products can be made. So compared to expensive labor, mass production in this area is much cheaper. We make a box by ourselves. If it is not complicated, we have more than one hundred RMB. If it's more complicated, it's less than two hundred dollars. If you consider the liquid metal from the beginning of the design, the cost will be more advantageous than the current aluminum alloy.
Q: Is there a difference in consistency between small batch production and mass production later?
A: It can be said that there is almost no difference, because we are relying on molds to produce. Our die life is considered to be 30,000 to 40,000, and the appearance of the three or four thousand is almost the same, of course, some parts of the small part of the parts, We may need post-processing, such as grinding. However, they are basically accurate and reproducible. We like to compare the liquid metal and powder metallurgy, powder metallurgy will probably have a shrinkage of 22% to 24%, and the lateral shrinkage and the vertical shrinkage are not the same, the shrinkage of the liquid metal is somewhat different, about 1000 2.5 to 3.5 parts per thousand is very controllable, so the reproducibility of liquid metal is very good.
Q: Our technology is very advanced at present, but from the perspective of promotion, it is a difficulty that needs to be overcome. How can this problem be solved in the future?
A: Last year we started to promote small products. Now we are starting to promote some of the larger products. This mainly involves the process of customer recognition. It has been developing well so far. When it comes to the promotion of large-scale products, there is no A certain point in time, but we are now operating at a higher rate.
Q: The cooperation between Yi'an and the Chinese Academy of Sciences and liquidmetal actually puts some of the liquid metal-related intellectual property rights in the hands of material costs, materials technology and equipment. At present, the relative status is relatively high, but it still faces some technical competition. What is the overall strategy for intellectual property?
A: Liquidmetal has about 128 patents on the side. The 128 patents protect almost all formulas or similar formulas that can be expected. Therefore, others cannot sell liquid metal to the United States. They must have liquid metal authorization. Just because liquidmetal itself has sufficient protection for intellectual property.
Q: Yi'an did not position itself as a production-oriented enterprise. Rather, it was a kind of integration of resources, linking technology and industry to the level of liquid metal. In the future, the company wanted to be a production-oriented enterprise. In the past, do a resource-integrated enterprise?
A: In the production-oriented enterprises, Yi'an is a very small company. Small companies like Apple and Samsung do not divide the market into our hands. We don't have enough machines to produce, and we don't have enough capacity to manage. A lot of machines, so we are looking for partners to do products together, we teach you how to do it, tell you the recipes, tell you about machinery, equipment, materials, etc., Yian only has a dozen or twenty machines, YiAn as a demonstration Units communicate with each other through familiar companies such as Apple and Samsung.
Q: At present, the mobile phone frame cannot be completely replaced with liquid metal. What is the company's expectation of infiltration of this kind of product?
A: At present, only we can make liquid metal mobile phone borders, but a slightly better mobile phone brand can't find a single supplier, we need to shop around, and our current size is still too small to carry such a huge market. So we are actively promoting other companies to develop liquid metal products, because we have a limited scale, so we hope to make it a plate, an industrial chain, there are twenty to thirty companies to promote its development, from raw materials, machines Equipment, processing, and application, if only relying on Yi'an Technology, will go very slowly and require the joint efforts of everyone;
Q: During the long-term research of new materials, we discovered that if there is a special application direction for new materials, it will develop faster. This situation generally has two characteristics. First, after its use, its overall cost will drop a lot, so that downstream companies will have a strong driving force. The other is that the entire market must be large enough. At present, everyone's concern is in the mobile phone casing, but I think that liquid metal does not have much comprehensive cost advantage in comparison with aluminum alloy (the current iPhone's shell material) in the mobile phone casing, so in addition to the mobile phone casing field, there are Are there other fields that meet the above two characteristics?
A: Actually, apart from the two points you mentioned just now, one of the more special features of mobile phones is that Jobs pushed liquid metal before he died, but it was not really successful (only the pin used was liquid metal). If the liquid metal phone case can be made, then there is a clear advertising effect in the field of application of Apple, a gimmick (the use of new materials will often become a new selling point for mobile phone products). At present, consumer electronics can make liquid metal grow fastest. First, because of its large number and wide demand, and second, the existence of Jobs and Apple's mobile phone makes this market full of star effects, so when a mobile phone shell is produced, there will be a market effect in one or two years. Even if the price is expensive, the consumer electronics market can accept it. Taking Xiaomi as an example, Xiaomi 4 talked about the story of a stainless steel tour at the product launch event and became its main selling point at that time. The cost of millet 4 stainless steel has just started to be 250, and has been reduced to 200 after continuous improvement and mass production.
And my liquid metal shell only 180 dollars, after the price will be lower, compared with stainless steel 304, whether it is price or forcing, liquid metal shell is undoubtedly in a leading position. In addition, in the field of mobile phone housings, the strength of liquid metal is higher than its use value. The high strength of aluminum alloy is only 400pa, and the liquid metal is also as low as 1000pa. Therefore, it is not necessary to use such advanced materials as liquid metal. I have never put consumer electronics on the top of the list of liquid metal applications. My personal focus is on the automotive side, including automotive shafts, fasteners, locks, etc. This is no less than consumer electronics.
Q: I am a company with on-board display. Considering that our car displays will grow bigger and bigger in the future, when will liquid metal frames with more than 10 inches display be made?
A: We should be able to do it, but liquid metal has a very low price/performance ratio for on-board displays. Liquid metal is a selling point for mobile phones, but it is not for on-board displays. It is difficult for you to pay for this premium. A small box for a mobile phone costs 180 yuan, but the box on a car display screen costs 1,000 yuan. Not only is the price too expensive, consumers are reluctant to pay, and even if the cost is lowered later, the value of liquid metal to the value of the on-board display is also increased. Very limited
Q: The domestic patent environment is still rather harsh. How are we laying out patents in the country? How many?
Liquid metal itself has a huge patent pool. How to achieve effective docking?
A: We have only a dozen or so amorphous patents in China. However, our patents can be used out. Other companies have heard that there are 70 to 80, but their patents are not easy to use. And our domestic patent is even better than Liquid metal. We have a patent that can produce antibacterial effect after adding appropriate amount of silver in liquid metal. Basically 99% of E. coli can be eliminated in wearable equipment, medical treatment and electronics. The field has broad prospects. Liquid metal has been making liquid metal for more than 20 years, and has more than 120 patented technologies in foreign countries, covering all aspects of mobile phone housings. Joining Liquid Metal can guarantee that we will be in a superior position in foreign intellectual property litigation in the future;
Q: YiAn Technology has more than 20 devices, but it cannot meet the needs of some large 3C manufacturers. Soon the equipment is the bottleneck of industrial development?
A: No, at present, we have already found three cooperative companies for materials and equipment manufacturing companies. If everyone pushes forward together, the bottleneck is not a problem. Because Yi'an Technology is a research and development company, there is no advantage in equipment production. In the future, we will jointly set up a joint venture company with related materials and equipment manufacturing companies. We will control the company's shareholding, grant intellectual property, and sell it to everyone to jointly expand this market.
Question: The biggest characteristic of liquid metal is its high strength and high hardness. This feature is a waste of mobile phone casings. It should actually be used in applications where space is limited but where bearing capacity requirements are relatively high. However, current mechanical designers do not understand this material. We need to introduce some similar standards and production manuals. Do we have plans in this area?
A: Lqmetal has set industry standards in the United States, so we need to do the same in China. At present, the development of industry standards still needs at least one year. We are constantly promoting this. This is very necessary, and it is an entirely new way for us to grasp the initiative in the development of the industry.
Q: To vigorously promote the marketization of liquid metal, we must find many partners, but there will be technical risks, how to protect the company's intellectual property?
A: Actually, it is difficult to protect intellectual property in China. On the one hand, we must promote this matter because the development of liquid metal requires the entire industry chain as a support (only one can produce hard-to-market, hard-to-make money). On the other hand, , As the first liquid metal manufacturer in China that can produce mobile phone cases, we have this sense of mission to cultivate it. If it succeeds later, this will be a highlight in the development history of the entire liquid metal industry. It is not just money that can be measured. Q: Please tell us about the phase change process. A: For example, glass is neither too nor solid, glass is glassy, ??and the phase change will take a long time. For the same reason, if the amorphous alloy is applied more than 300 degrees, it will change, and the phase will not necessarily change, but the shape will certainly change and the mechanical characteristics will change.
Q: Just mentioned injection molding, injection molding is generally applied in the plastic field, what is the difference with die casting?
A: It is really a die-casting process, but because it cannot be called die-casting, it is called injection molding.
Q: With respect to consumer electronics products, consumers are looking for a thin, but zirconium-based liquid metal is heavier than other similar products in terms of weight. How to solve this problem in the future?
A: I use the door axis of the car as an example. A door has two axes, about 400-500 grams per axis. We can't use amorphous materials yet. Let's explore feasibility first. The strength of the amorphous alloy is about 2.5 times that of the high-strength steel, and the amorphous proportion is about 6.5, the iron is 7.8, and the weight is 20%. Taken together, it means that 1/3 volume of amorphous can replace 1 volume of high strength steel. 4 kg of 4 doors, plus 6 kg at the front of the car, can theoretically reduce 4 kg. Because the strength of its unit is much stronger than other varieties, this is the basis for weight loss.
Q: What about consumer electronics products such as mobile phones?
Answer: The reason is the same. We are now making 0.8mm, but 0.3mm is enough. If we do it thin enough, we have enough strength.
Q: We know that there are many times when some good materials are applied on a large scale, depending on the cost of the materials themselves due to economies of scale. The company promotes the liquid metal in large scale nationwide and globally. This idea is very good, but when will it become a reality?
A: This is our intention. It is also an important idea for us to acquire LQMT because it has a close relationship with Apple. Both parties share a research and development team. Apple did not use liquid metal before because no one made it. Now we have made it. We must discuss with them before the end of this year. Of course, it is expected that it will strongly demand that the company's products can only be supplied to it. I have reservations. Because there are already many excellent mobile phone manufacturers in China, they will not buy out to Apple or any other mobile phone manufacturers. However, we will soon talk to Apple and we may not be able to reach cooperation because the differences are still quite large.
Q: After the large-scale promotion of this industry, there may be problems with the upgrading of materials. The next generation or the next generation will emerge and be replaced with other new materials. Will this hinder the determination of large-scale investment in the industry?
A: This is a relatively macro topic, but I personally think that at the beginning of the outbreak, there will be no large-scale purchases. There will be only a small amount of purchases at the beginning, and after the maturity of research and development will continue to increase, so the risk will not be great. .
Q: The biggest promotion area for liquid metal in the future is the automobile?
Answer: The application in the automotive field takes two or three years. We are fortunate to have a T-precision car company that began to cite our products last year. This company is more interesting. It The products are both automotive and consumer electronics. The consumer electronics field has a benefit, and it has a higher degree of acceptance of new things.
Q: Are companies in the military industry involvede?
A: Because I am a Hong Kong person, I don't have easy access to the military. I can find a metal company and they have a lot of relevant experience.
Q: Currently, there are three main directions for the liquid metal technology reserve. The first one is the band shape. This is already mature. The second is the bulk amorphous material we are currently making, and the other is the powder. One of the directions for powder applications is 3D printing. Can you tell us about this?
A: There are two uses of powder, one is a surface coating, with wear, corrosion and other functions, there is a 3D printing. We have a company, Liaoning Jinyan Liquid Metal Technology Co., Ltd., which accounts for 70% of the company and 30% of the Institute of Metals of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Liaoning Liquid Metal has a subsidiary called Shenyang Jinyan New Material Preparation Technology Co., Ltd., which is engaged in 3D printing from powder production to final product preparation, but has not yet been promoted. We recently received 3 million yuan from the Guangdong Provincial Government to fund scientific research in this area. The real application will probably be early next year. We will focus on materials, supply powder to customers, we will not do printing, and the technical content is too low.
Q: Is it a liquid metal powder?
Will the characteristics of amorphous alloys be maintained during 3D printing?
A: It is also done, and the performance in terms of strength is still excellent. In 3D printing, we use special cooling methods to meet the forming conditions, so the printed material is still liquid metal, which is also the difference between us and ordinary 3D printing.

Changying Precision: The value space of metal middle frame in the 5G era will be significantly improved.

DECEMBER 1, 2016
Changying Precision: The value space of metal middle frame in the 5G era will be significantly improved.
With the approach of the 5G era, companies in the industry have laid out relevant nodes in the industrial chain. The relevant person in charge of Changying Precision said that he was optimistic about the advantages of the industrial nodes of metal middle frames. In the process of the industrial development of "metal shell + metal middle frame" to "metal middle frame + double-sided glass" in the industry, 7 series aluminum, stainless steel and even titanium alloys will need higher processing technology barriers and higher value metal middle frames. In order to maintain the strength of the fuselage and support for the large screen, this will significantly improve the value space of the metal middle frame industry. At the same time, because it will take some time for the arrival of the 5G era, the company will patiently do a good job in traditional business while actively grasping the new trend of metal frames.
The middle frame is not a border, and the value space will be improved.
Changying Precision: The value space of metal middle frame in the 5G era will be significantly improved.
Since the market has paid attention to the design scheme of 3D glass or ceramic back cover + metal middle frame, it has begun to worry about the future of the metal housing market. In the general understanding of investors, the middle frame is the rectangular frame of the mobile phone case, and the materials and processing time used will be less than that of metal housing products. In fact, the middle frame is not a simple quadrilateral frame. The middle frame supports and carries core components for the whole mobile phone. There are many different requirements from strength to structure and heat dissipation.
For example, in the figure below, in addition to the metal frame in the exterior part, there are also a large number of complex internal structures, and the processing difficulty and time even exceed those of ordinary metal enclosures. At present, the value of the metal enclosure of mid-range smartphones is generally 120-150 yuan, while the value of metal middle-frame components with aluminum alloy is about 150-180 yuan, and the value of metal middle-frame components with stainless steel is more than 200 yuan. The industrial trend of new material back cover + metal middle frame will highlight the value space of metal middle frame products.
Changying Precision: The value space of metal middle frame in the 5G era will be significantly improved.
Metal medium frame + double-sided glass may become a new opportunity
Changying Precision: The value space of metal middle frame in the 5G era will be significantly improved.With the advent of the 5G era, metal middle frame + double-sided glass may become a mainstream design scheme, which will significantly increase the demand for metal processing. Changying Precision said that with higher technical threshold and rich processing experience, the company's gross profit margin and market share of metal parts are expected to increase. New materials in the appearance of concern in the market include 3D glass, ceramics, sapphire, etc. Although 3D glass, ceramics, sapphire and other materials have good anti-interference and cater to the trend of new transmission methods such as wireless charging and 5G, the relatively brittle physical characteristics make the yield of holes and holes in materials very low, and it is very unlikely to be used as a middle frame component of mobile phones with various interfaces. Zirconia ceramic materials are difficult to process, the product price is extremely high, and the batch price is more than 700 yuan or higher. It can only be a niche product and difficult to become the mainstream. If glass is used as the front and rear panel of the mobile phone, you need to use harder metals such as 7 series aluminum, stainless steel and even titanium alloy to maintain the strength of the fuselage and support for the large screen. There are higher technical barriers to the processing of high-hardness metals. The product design and process complexity are increased, and the processing time is longer, which improves the added value of the middle frame. Changying Precision said that with its rich experience in mass production of high-hardness metal processing, the company is expected to give full play to its advantages to improve the gross profit margin of metal parts and strive for higher market share.
The 5G era still needs to wait patiently.
Changying Precision: The value space of metal middle frame in the 5G era will be significantly improved.
Recently, some industry companies said that because the base station antennas in the 5G era may be arranged in arrays, the antenna form of mobile phones and other terminals is still under research and development, but due to space constraints, it is unlikely to use array placement. The exterior design scheme of metal middle frame + double glass is a definite option. The integrated metal rear shell may be upgraded to a new form of low-cost form such as an integrated metal non-metallic composite rear shell, or a multi-seam metal rear shell. Plastic and ceramic rear housing are also options. Therefore, in the 5G era, the metal middle frame of the mobile phone will be the mainstream, and the rear shell will appear in many forms such as metal non-metallic composite rear shell and non-metallic rear shell. In this regard, industry analysts believe that although the concept of 5G has become a hot spot in the market, it will take time and repeated demonstration to improve the theory of relevant technologies to truly popularize their application. According to the current known parameter configuration of iPhone 8 and Huawei Mate9, it can be seen that the shells of these two new products are still made of metal. The time for the full popularity of 5G networks nationwide in China is leading technology is uncertain. 5G standards have not yet been issued, and global popularization requires more long-term patience. At the same time, 3D glass, ceramics, sapphire and other new materials need a certain growth process from technology to productivity and mass production scale. Within three to five years, metal shell + metal middle frame is still the mainstream trend in the smartphone industry. While patiently waiting and laying out the 5G era, Changying Precision will actively carry out traditional business, and seize the opportunity to develop the advantages of the metal middle frame industry in the process of technological upgrading.
In addition, Changying said that it is very concerned about the ceramic appearance market and has been developing the grinding process of zirconia ceramics. If there is a large-scale market demand, the company can also respond quickly and keep up in time.

2) Aluminum-based and magnesium-based liquid metals have been used in lightweight materials, especially aerospace.

Mag batteries yunhai q&a
http://irm.cninfo.com.cn/ircs/question/questionDetail?questionId=1020359813439352832
A few days ago, some netizens asked: How many Dong companies can account for in the US battery market in the future? Secrets of Guigong Magnesium Battery. Research and sales as a whole? Answer: Magnesium batteries are not enough, thank you company. We will work with universities to study magnesium hydrogen storage materials. I would like to ask whether the current non-mass production of magnesium batteries means that Yunhai Metal's company has not mass-produced, or does it mean that there is no enterprise mass-produced at present? Magnesium batteries and magnesium hydrogen storage materials should have two concepts of glass, right? I feel that the previous answers are mixed up. Can you tell me more about the company's research results, scope, and direction in detail? If you keep it secret, you can understand it. thank you very much! ! !

Looking at the future of mobile phone appearance materials from the release of the new iPhone - the value of the middle frame of the mobile phone is prominent, and the era of liquid metal middle frame is coming.
Recently, Apple held a new product launch conference at the Jobs Theater, which launched iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X, as well as the third generation of Apple Watch and other products.
This time, Apple skipped the previous S enhancement series and directly launched the iPhone 8/8 Plus. The main change in appearance is that the back cover is replaced with a glass panel, which is officially called the strongest and most durable glass panel so far. The back tempered glass is finished with a 7 layer stain process. With it, there is a new gold color matching in addition to space gray and silver; after replacing the metal material of the previous generation with glass, the iPhone 8 is still 7000 series aluminum as a metal middle frame.
iphone X
Official release date: November 3, 2017
Recommended index: ??????
Of course, the most eye-catching is the iPhone X (Ten) that debuts as one more thing, which Apple officials say is the future of the smartphone in the next 10 years.
Its biggest highlight is that it is rumored to unanimously adopt the "full screen" design and use OLED material for the first time. It uses innovative folding and circuit stacking technology, so that this OLED screen can accurately fit the curve of the body in the form of a full screen, so as to achieve a satisfactory round touch.
Like the iPhone 8/8P, the iPhone X has a glass panel on the back cover, which is the strongest and most durable glass material on the iPhone so far. Its reinforcement layer is 50% thicker than before.
Unlike the former, the iPhone X replaced the middle frame material and the 7 series aluminum alloy with stainless steel, which Apple called "surgical grade". In addition, on the space gray model, the "physical vapor deposition" process is still used to ensure that the color of the stainless steel frame is consistent with the glass color.
Every time Apple uses a new process, it will become a vane for mobile phone development. This time, Apple's return to the appearance material matching of double-sided glass + metal middle frame will lead the transformation of the whole industry.
The appearance material and structural change history of iPhone
The future development trend of mobile phones brings changes to mobile phone structure and materials.
1. Full-screen technology is popular
The full screen is called the last technological innovation point of the mobile phone industry before the arrival of 5G. The reason why full-screen has become an industry hot spot is mainly that full-screen products are more in line with users' needs for video playback and display interface. The benefits of using a full-screen mobile phone are self-evident. The first is to maximize the visual effect, and the second is to optimize the grip.
Because of the full screen design, the screen module will extend to the upper and lower ends of the whole machine, which will greatly reduce the main net space left for the antenna. If the metal shell is still used, the mobile phone signal will be greatly affected. At the same time, the borders on all sides will become narrower and narrower, and the requirements for the strength of the frame in the mobile phone will also be higher and higher, and the requirements for falling and pressure resistance will be higher.

2. Wireless charging is gradually mature, and the iPhone has become a tipping point.
With the iPhone 8/8P this time, the iPhone X is standard with wireless charging, which is bound to promote the wide application of wireless charging in smartphones. However, due to the shielding effect of the metal case, mobile phones with metal bodies generally cannot support wireless charging function. Even if this function is added, their wireless charging efficiency will be greatly reduced. Therefore, if mobile phone manufacturers follow Apple's example and add wireless charging function to new phones in the future, they will inevitably give up the metal shell and use glass or ceramic shells instead.
Because of the full screen design, the screen module will extend to the upper and lower ends of the whole machine, which will greatly reduce the main net space left for the antenna. If the metal shell is still used, the mobile phone signal will be greatly affected. At the same time, the borders on all sides will become narrower and narrower, and the requirements for the strength of the frame in the mobile phone will also be higher and higher, and the requirements for falling and pressure resistance will be higher.
3. In the future, 5G mobile phones will dominate the absolute mainstream.
5G is undoubtedly the focus of the mobile phone industry. For smartphones, improving load computing and supporting various scenario applications to improve the full-scene experience ability will become the focus of the next stage of development during the migration of 4G to 5G.
It is expected that the global sales of 5G mobile phones will reach 100 million by 2021, and the mainstream 5G mobile phone market will be in developed countries in North America and Asia-Pacific.
The remarkable feature of 5G signal is that the signal transmission speed is faster (10-100 times that of 4G), which greatly facilitates people's lives!
However, 5G also brings at least two changes to the structure of mobile phones: first, due to the addition of 5G signals, mobile phones have more RF functions and larger volume, requiring new internal component design; second, 5G puts forward higher requirements for the signal transmission capacity of mobile phone shells, and large-scale MIMO promotes the base stations to use multiple antennas. The complexity of its antenna makes the appearance material type of mobile terminal equipment require a trend of transformation from metal to non-metal.
Under the trend of 5G communication, wireless charging and full screen, the process of demetallization of the appearance of mobile phones has begun. The trend of demetalization will reconstruct the entire mobile phone appearance industry value chain. Under the leadership of Apple, the appearance structure of mobile phones has developed from monomer to "sandwiches", and the double glass/ceramic + metal middle frame scheme of appearance materials will become the mainstream.
Glass ceramic back cover triggers market fusion
The value of the middle frame of the mobile phone is prominent.
2.5/3D glass has a very beautiful appearance and texture, which is expected to become an important back cover solution. In addition, after years of development, the performance of glass materials has been greatly improved;
In terms of cost, the yield of 2.5D glass is relatively high, with a price of about 25 yuan and a price of 3D glass of about 75 yuan, which has a significant cost advantage over other ceramics, sapphire and other non-metallic materials. In terms of production capacity, glass processing capacity is not scarce, and there are many existing manufacturers and potential entrants. Glass floor is the first to popularize with comprehensive advantages such as performance, cost and production capacity.
The electromagnetic performance under 5G of ceramic materials has obvious advantages, such as wear resistance, skin-friendly, good airtightness, good electromagnetic shielding, excellent performance, and is favored by mobile phone manufacturers. At present, it is subject to cost and production capacity. As a large-scale enclosure product, it is still a niche application. The reduction of cost brought about by the improvement of ceramic material technology level is the key. With the improvement of yield and production capacity, it is expected to become one of the mainstream non-metallic materials.
Under the new situation, the design route of double-sided glass/ceramic + metal middle frame in the future is in a dominant position, and the penetration rate of middle and high-end brand mobile phones has gradually improved. The industrial trend of new material back cover + metal middle frame will highlight the value space of metal middle frame products. The middle frame of the mobile phone is an important part in the structure of the sandwich of the mobile phone. It supports and carries the key parts of the core components. It has many requirements in terms of strength, structure, heat dissipation and other aspects.
The dispute over middle frame materials
Liquid metals become the mainstream
Aluminum alloy has always played the leading role in the middle frame material of mobile phones, but with the requirements of full-screen technology, wireless charging and 5G, the space requirements for the metal middle frame are getting narrower and narrower, and the strength requirements for the metal middle frame are also higher. Aluminum's protection against glass is insufficient, and its own strength is not enough to make it easy. Deforming squeezes the glass, causing the glass to be fragile.
Comparison of performance of aluminum alloy and stainless steel middle frame
Compared with stainless steel or aluminum alloy middle frame, liquid metal has performance and price advantages. The strength of liquid metal frame is much higher than that of stainless steel and aluminum alloy. The most obvious advantage of this material is high strength, high hardness and high wear resistance. While light and thin, it can also protect the mobile phone from shocks and screen breaks. Damage.
In addition, liquid metals are molded once by injection molding, which can meet the molding requirements of some complex structures. Because its molding process is close to "net forming", it requires fewer post-processing, which can effectively reduce the post-processing cost. At present, the price of a liquid metal mobile phone is about 120 to 150 yuan, which is cheaper than the stainless steel frame and aluminum alloy integrated molding frame.
Analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of liquid metals and stainless steel
1. Net molding technology
1) Liquid metal molding process is simple, process stability is strong, consistency is good, and the process yield can reach more than 85%.
2) The molding cycle is 70s~90s, with a high production capacity, and each machine can produce 1,000pcs a day.
3) Because mold molding can accurately control the deformation of the product, the later process can meet the plane degree requirement without shaping. In addition to the above 11 forging processes, the stainless steel process needs to add at least 3 tempering processes, and it is still difficult to ensure a plane degree of 0.1.
4) The processing allowance is only 0.15mm~0.2mm, which greatly reduces CNC time, improves the efficiency of the post-process and reduces the cost.
5) Adopt vacuum molding technology, the surface dense layer is thicker, generally up to 0.3~0.4mm, polishing process can be achieved.
2. Streamlined CNC
Comparison of CNC machining cycles of stainless steel and liquid metal
Liquid metals adopt net molding technology, and the CNC time is only 40% to 50% of the stainless steel scheme. If some product structure is optimized from the design stage, the CNC time can be controlled within 1200s.
3. Comparative analysis of the whole process of liquid metal and stainless steel
The full-screen and wireless charging trend led by the iPhone, especially the arrival of the future 5G era, liquid metals with excellent performance and cost advantages have matured a wide range of application conditions on the middle frame of mobile phones, and liquid metals will become one of the mainstreams of terminal devices in appearance materials.
At present, some domestic enterprises and units have the R&D and production capacity of liquid metal mobile phones, including Yi'an Technology, Dongyu Yihao, Changzhou Shijing, Liaoning Jinyan, etc.
The figure below shows the middle frame prototype of liquid metal of Yi'an Technology. As an early enterprise in the industry to carry out liquid metal research and development, Yi'an Technology has the world's largest production line for the production of zirconium-based amorphous alloys, and has achieved industry-leading advantages in the application research and industrial transformation of block amorphous alloys. At present, the company has provided many well-known domestic mobile phone brand manufacturers with samples of liquid metal mobile phone middle frame.

At the end of March, it was reported that Samsung was developing another double-fold mobile phone, * which may have been launched by the end of this year. At the same time, Samsung also plans to increase the shipment of foldable mobile phones to more than 10 million units per year.
It is worth mentioning that at the end of April, some media quoted industry sources to point out that Huawei also plans to launch three new foldable smartphones in the second half of 2021, which will aim at the entry-level market at a low price to stimulate demand and sales.
In this way, in addition to Apple, several mobile phone brand giants may gather in the foldable mobile phone market in the second half of the year, and the relevant industrial chain is in good condition.
Foldable mobile phones become the next innovative selling point. The new super replacement cycle will start.
New models of foldable smartphones continue to be launched, and 2021 is expected to be an intensive year in the history of folding screen mobile phones. Industry insiders believe that the era of folding screen mobile phones may really come.
Under the foldable wave, institutions are optimistic about future shipments. Digitimes Research predicts that shipments of foldable smartphones worldwide are expected to reach 7 million this year, which is higher than the estimate of 2.8 million a year ago. Qunzhi Consulting is even more optimistic about this market. It is expected that the global shipment of foldable mobile phones is expected to exceed 10 million in 2021, approaching 11 million. Strategic Analytics previously predicted that global shipments of foldable smartphones will increase from less than 1 million in 2019 to 100 million in 2025.
Tianfeng International believes that after 5G, folding phones are the next innovative selling point of high-end mobile phones. And the fast-growing folding mobile phone market has become a must-have place for soldiers of major mobile phone brands. Folding mobile phones are expected to drive the next super replacement cycle of high-order mobile phones.
Downstream demand volume Domestic manufacturers have the opportunity to take the lead
With the rapid growth of the folding mobile terminal market, companies related to the industrial chain are expected to usher in opportunities.
The first is the panel. According to Omdia, shipments of foldable display panels are expected to increase from about 4.2 million to 73.6 million units in 2020-2027, with a market penetration rate of 4.91% and a CAGR of 150%. Among them, flexible AMOLED is favored by intelligent terminals because of its multiple advantages such as high contrast, high color reduction effect, bending, foldability, better durability, etc.
Xu Tao's team, an analyst at CITIC Securities, also believes that the foldable AMOLED flexible screen is a * large cost increment of folding screen mobile phones. It is recommended to pay attention to TCL technology and BOE A.
BOE has entered the Samsung electronic supply chain for the first time in March, and will supply flexible OLED panels for some models of Samsung folding mobile phones from the second half of this year. BOE will also operate its sixth generation flexible third OLED production line from October, with a production capacity of 48,000 baseboards/month in the stage, the second and third The phase will be put into production in March and October 2022, respectively, and each phase will increase the production capacity of 16,000 substrates per month.
Another domestic panel faucet TCL Huaxing also supplies folding screens for Motorola Razr mobile phones and AMOLED curved screens for Xiaomi;
In addition, the main plant of Shentianma's 6th generation flexible AMOLED production line project has been capped at the beginning of the month. It is expected that the equipment will be moved into work in the second half of this year and put into production in 2022.

Economic Observer Reporter Zhang Bin At 10:08 on February 25, Huawei MateX2 officially went on sale, with a price starting from 17,999 yuan. Before the sale, Huawei's official mall, JD.com and other e-commerce platforms had made about 5 million reservations. After the launch of the sale, Huawei's official mall, Tmall, JD.com and other e-commerce platforms showed that this new product was instantly "second light".
The MateX2 launched this time is Huawei's third-generation folding screen mobile phone. On the other end of the hot spot market, in the capital market, more attention is which core component suppliers of this mobile phone may become a hot island for investment.
Wang Fang, chief analyst of Minsheng Securities Electronics Industry, believes that the trend of folding screens is unstoppable, and the chain and screen are still the key directions of upgrading.
Yu Chengdong, managing director of Huawei and CEO of consumer business, said at the press conference on February 22 that MateX2 is equipped with a new double-helix water drop chain, which ensures the flatness of the folding screen after expansion and the aesthetics after folding, and achieves the seamless part of the folding chain.
Yu Chengdong said at the press conference that this double spiral water drop chain uses carbon fiber composite materials and high-strength steel. Among them, the carbon fiber composite material used to support the door panel of the ard chain reduces the weight by 75%; the strength of super steel can reach 2100MPa, which is 50% higher than the steel used in the B-pillar of high-safety cars; and the hardness of the zirconium-based liquid metal used in the central axis of the ard chain has tripled.
Chen Hang, an analyst at Founder Securities, believes that Huawei's MateX2 will accelerate the popularization of folding machines. The Huawei MateX2 inward folding scheme released this time will be the beginning of the epoch-making period when the OLED folding screen enters the volume period, opening up a huge industrial imagination space. The chain is the most critical functional part to realize foldable mobile phones, and it is also the most technological part of the folding screen.
In the field of ? chain, analysts of major securities firms will Changying Precision (300115. SZ), Yi'an Technology (300328). SZ), Dongmu Shares (600114). SH), intensive research technology (300709. SZ) etc. are included in the scope of concern. Many investors are very concerned about who is the core supplier of the double-helix water drop chain carried by MateX2?
Who is the MIM supplier?
Founder Securities said that the core technology of folding screen mobile phones is foldable screen, chain and operating system. There are many parts used in the folding screen chain, which has the characteristics of high complexity, high folding life requirements and high product reliability requirements. The cost of BOM (material list) mainly includes MIM (metal injection forming parts) precision processing, liquid metal raw materials, module assembly, etc.
Dongmu Co., Ltd.'s main business is divided into three major sectors: powder metallurgical pressing parts (PM), metal injection forming parts (MIM) and soft magnetic composite materials (SMC). In 2019, Dongmu Co., Ltd. decided to quickly enter the field of MIM through extensional mergers and acquisitions. In August 2019, the company acquired a 61% stake in Dongyu Huajing for 110 million yuan. In December of the same year, the company bought another 14% stake in Dongyu Huajing for 25.2 million yuan, with a shareholding ratio of 75%. In February 2020, the company acquired a 75% stake in Fuchi Hi-Tech for 1.039 billion yuan. Through these two mergers and acquisitions, Dongmu Co., Ltd. can quickly enter the consumer electronics industry and realize the company's strategic layout in the MIM industry.
Dongmu Co., Ltd. said in its semi-annual report in 2020 that during the reporting period, due to the adjustment of the sales strategy of consumer electronics international mainstream brands and related projects related to specific models of domestic mainstream brands, the sales of consumer electronic products reached 518 million yuan, accounting for 39.18% of the company's main business revenue, of which Fuchi Hi-Tech 20 The operating income from January to June 20 years was 473 million yuan (Fuchi Hi-Tech was included in the company's consolidated statement in March 2020, and the operating income from March to June was 378 million yuan).
In addition, in the first half of 2020, Dongmu Co., Ltd. registered and established Lianyungang Fuchi Intelligent Manufacturing Technology Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fuchi High-tech, Jiangsu Province, in Lianyungang City, and signed the Investment Agreement on Land Projects in Lianyungang Economic and Technological Development Zone with the Management Committee of Lianyungang Economic and Technological Development Zone in August of that year. It is proposed to use its own or self-financing to purchase 210 mu of land use rights in Lianyungang Economic and Technological Development Zone for the construction of the "Consumer Electronics Precision Parts Automation Production Line Project", with a total investment of 1 billion yuan. It is proposed to register and establish Guangdong Fuchi Intelligent Manufacturing Technology Co., Ltd. in Dongyu City to integrate MIM and consumer electronics. South China Production Base.
According to media reports, after acquiring Dongyu Huajing and Fuchi Hi-Tech, Dongmu Co., Ltd. has become the largest supplier of MIM parts for Huawei's mobile phones and the core supplier of Huawei's second folding screen mobile phone MateXs chain.
In response, the reporter of Economic Observer called Dongmu Co., Ltd. on February 24 to inquire that relevant people in its securities department said that the technology company of folding screen mobile phone chain can do it, and Huawei is also a customer of the company, but it is not clear whether it has supplied MateX2.
The person also said that in terms of MIM parts of foldable screen mobile phones, the company has cooperated with major domestic mobile phone manufacturers, and has supplies to major domestic mobile phone manufacturers. It said that the company was optimistic about the MIM industry, otherwise it would not have spent a lot of money to acquire Fuchi Hi-Tech and build a production base in Lianyungang.
Wang Huajun, an analyst at Zheshang Securities, believes that according to IHSMarkit's forecast, the global folding screen market shipments in 2020 will be nearly 5.2 million units, and it is expected to exceed 50 million units in 2025, and the compound growth rate from 2020 to 2025 is about 57%. DisplaySearch expects that folding screen mobile phones will bloom in 2021. Samsung, Xiaomi, vivo, OPPO and Google will all have folding screen mobile phones. Dongmu Co., Ltd., as one of the two oligarchs in the domestic MIM industry, is expected to continue to benefit.
Who is the supplier of liquid metal?
The cost of MateX2 chain BOM (material list) also includes liquid metals. Liquid metal belongs to amorphous alloys, also known as metal glass. It is a new metal material with glass, metal, solid and liquid characteristics. Because there are no defects such as dislocation, lamination, grain boundary, etc., amorphous alloys show special mechanical characteristics, and their bending strength, tensile strength, elastic deformation, etc. are better than common materials. Liquid metals have been widely used in consumer electronics, new energy vehicle products, headphones, etc., and have begun to show broad application prospects in intelligent manufacturing, high-end sports equipment and aerospace.
When Yi'an Technology was surveyed by institutional investors in December 2020, it said that the company's liquid metal products have been applied in batches in folding mobile phone chains, mobile phone optical brackets, door locks, acoustics and other products. The company provides two liquid metal chains for the largest mobile phone terminal customers in China. The liquid metal FaceID brackets and camera modules produced by the company have been supplied in batches to well-known domestic mobile phone manufacturers such as Xiaomi and OPPO, and liquid metal locks are exclusively supplied to Tesla. The company is the only enterprise in the world that applies liquid metals to the automotive industry.
According to the annual report of Yi'an Technology, the company's liquid metal products from 2016 to 2019 were 31.3085 million yuan, 53.8357 million yuan, 67.4526 million yuan and 72.881 million yuan respectively. In the first half of 2020, "the company's liquid metal product sales revenue was 70.9788 million yuan, an increase of 71.25% compared with the same period last year. The company has also been looking for and nurturing partners to jointly expand the liquid metal market. Yi'an Technology said in December 2020 when it was surveyed by institutional investors.
Recently, Yi'an Technology said in response to investors' questions on the investor interaction platform many times that the company provides liquid metal enamel chains for the largest mobile terminals in China, but does not explicitly provide liquid metal chains to Huawei.
On February 24, the reporter of Economic Observer called Yi'an Technology. Relevant people from its Securities Department said that we are now providing liquid metal chains to major domestic mobile phone manufacturers, but due to confidentiality regulations, which specific company is not convenient to disclose. The liquid metal chains of the previous generations of the largest mobile phone manufacturer in China are also supplied by us. However, the company's liquid metal is not directly handed over to the mobile phone manufacturer, but to the downstream manufacturer for assembly, and the finished product is handed over to the mobile phone manufacturer after assembly. The person did not disclose which company the downstream manufacturer of liquid metals is.
The above-mentioned relevant people from the Yi'an Science and Technology Securities Department also said that the performance of the company's liquid metal products in 2020 is not bad, better than in 2019. For details, please refer to the 2020 annual report released later. If the customer's market is not affected by other factors, the company's liquid metal products will also have a good development this year (2021).
In addition, Yi'an Technology has also signed cooperation agreements with many companies and governments to expand the industrialization scale of liquid alloys. According to the company's announcement, in July 2019, Yi'an Liquid Metals, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company, signed a project investment framework agreement with the Qingxi Town People's Government of Dongyu City, with a total investment of 380 million yuan to jointly build a liquid metal project. In March 2020, the company and Sanxiang New Materials (603663). SH) Sanxiang Zirconium and Magnesium, its industrial fund, signed a project cooperation investment agreement to jointly invest in amorphous alloys (liquid metals) projects with a registered capital of 100 million yuan at a ratio of 40%:60%.
It is worth mentioning that Yi'an Technology intends to list the liquid metal business separately." If there is an opportunity, the company certainly wants to use the platform of the capital market to do a good job in the liquid metal industry. Yi'an Technology said in December 2020 when it was surveyed by institutional investors.
The trend of folding screen is irresistible?
2019 is the first year of folding screen products, and since then, major brand manufacturers have followed up and released them one after another. As far as product form is concerned, the folding form of mainstream folding screen mobile phones in the current market is roughly divided into three types: horizontal external folding, horizontal internal folding and vertical folding. At present, Samsung? GalaxyZFold series mainly focuses on horizontal inverted folding, GalaxyZFlip? The series mainly focuses on a portable vertical folding scheme.
The electronic team of CITIC Construction Investment believes that folding screen will become the general trend of the development of the smartphone market in the future, and the folding screen products of many manufacturers will be released one after another in 2021. Under the leadership of Samsung, Huawei and other brands, the folding screen market has initially completed consumer education. At the same time, it has made major breakthroughs in mass production, application ecology and other difficult problems, and is about to usher in rapid growth. Apple is also actively carrying out research and development of folding screen products.
CITIC Securities also continues to be optimistic about the trend of folding mobile phones. It said that according to Omdia's forecast, the shipments of foldable display panels from 2020 to 2027 will be about? 4.2 million units are expected to increase to 73.6 million, with a market penetration rate of 4.91% and a CAGR of 150%. Huawei MateX2 adopts an internal folding scheme this time. The multi-form folding screen scheme will coexist for a long time, corresponding to different diversified needs (multi-functional VS portable, etc.).
Chen Hang, an analyst at Founder Securities, believes that the Huawei MATEX2 internal folding plan released this time will be the beginning of the epoch-making period for OLED folding screens to enter the volume period, opening up a huge space for industrial imagination.
Wang Fang, chief analyst of Minsheng Securities Electronics Industry, believes that the trend of folding screens is unstoppable, and the chain and screen are still the key directions of upgrading. Foldable mobile phones break the screen-to-body ratio limit at one stroke. Foldable mobile phones are the most important upgrade direction of the appearance of smart phones in the next three years. Compared with ordinary mobile phones, the cost of BOM of folding mobile phones has increased by about 30%, including 70% in display screen costs, and the cost of batteries and rotating shafts has increased by 120%. With the gradual reduction of future prices, terminal sales are expected to increase significantly, bringing a new round of growth to the industrial chain.

Amorphous alloys: Amorphous alloys are also called liquid metals, solid metals or alloys whose atoms are arranged in a long-range disorder and short-range ordered structure. The microstructure is very similar to that of glass, so it is called liquid metal. Amorphous alloy has high strength, high hardness, high elastic limit, good soft magnetic or hard magnetic properties, friction and wear resistance and corrosion resistance and other excellent physical and chemical properties, and its cooling and solidification shrinkage is small, and it has a good near-net shape Casting forming ability (high precision in one-time forming, which can save machining cost).
? Performance advantage: a new type of metal material with the characteristics of glass, metal, solid and liquid. Because there are no defects such as dislocation, stacking fault, grain boundary, etc., amorphous alloys show special mechanical properties, and their bending strength, tensile strength, elastic deformation, etc. are better than common materials (strength is more than 5 times that of conventional aluminum-magnesium alloys) , 7 series aluminum is 5 times, stainless steel is 3 times, titanium alloy is 2 times).
? Potential for mass production: Liquid metal can be produced through molds. A set of molds supports 30,000 to 40,000 products. At present, Yi'an Technology's products have high repeatability and accuracy can reach ±0.03mm. Compared with powder metallurgy, liquid metal The transverse and longitudinal shrinkage rate reaches 2.5-3.5 per thousand, and the powder metallurgy shrinkage rate is 22%-24%, which is more suitable for batch preparation of precision metal structures requiring high precision.
? Cost advantage: Liquid metal can form products with complex structures at one time through vacuum die-casting. Because of its good formability, it saves a lot of CNC (Numerical Control Processing) procedures and has a high cost performance. And due to the good material properties, compared with traditional materials, the same structural strength requires less liquid metal material consumption, and the cost advantage of scaled production is highlighted.
Figure 13: The mechanical properties of liquid metal are better than common materials

2.3 The production of bulk amorphous alloys is relatively difficult, and large-scale bulk amorphous alloys still need technological breakthroughs
After nearly a hundred years of development, amorphous alloys have continuously enriched their alloy components: In 1934, German scientist Kramer first used meteorological deposition to prepare amorphous alloy films. In 1950, Brenner prepared a Ni-P amorphous alloy coating by electrodeposition to improve wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and was widely used in continuous casting and rolling molds in the iron and steel smelting industry. In 1987, the metal copper mold casting method used by the Institute of Metal Research of Tohoku University in Japan discovered La-Al-Ni-Cu (lanthanum series), Mg-Y-Ni-Cu (magnesium series) and Zr-Al-Ni-Cu (zirconium series), etc. A bulk amorphous alloy system with strong amorphous forming ability. Later, Peker and Mukherjee of the California Institute of Technology in the United States discovered the Zr-Ti-Cu-Ni-Be alloy system with superb amorphous forming ability through the method of doping with metal Be.
Bulk amorphous alloys are difficult to produce, and vacuum die-casting is suitable for thin-walled complex parts: amorphous alloys have metastable structure characteristics, and it is difficult to use conventional forging or welding processes for parts processing. The current feasible technical means is the use of blocks. The fluidity of bulk amorphous alloy is cast. Crystalline alloys are solidified under equilibrium conditions, and since rapid cooling is not required, the mold can be easily filled. Because of the metastable characteristics of amorphous alloys, the alloy liquid must freeze its liquid structure into a solid state at a very fast cooling rate, and there is no release of latent heat of crystallization during the process, which brings about the filling ability and fluidity of amorphous alloys. Problems, such as insufficient pouring and air pockets. In order to solve these problems, the current common technological methods are: superplastic forming, vacuum die casting (injection) forming, vacuum suction casting forming, water quenching method, copper mold adsorption method, directional solidification method and other processes.

Current technology is difficult to achieve large-scale mass production of bulk amorphous alloys: limited by the manufacturing process of amorphous alloys, if the size is large, it is difficult to achieve amorphization inside, so there is a size limit (maximum critical size) in the manufacture of amorphous alloys . The maximum critical dimension of most types of amorphous alloys is within 10mm. The Pd-based alloy invented in 1997 reached 72mm. In 2019, Shen Baolong of Southeast University and others obtained non-gold alloy ingots with a maximum diameter of 16.52mm through arc melting and negative pressure direct cooling. , But there is still a big gap compared with other alloys, which limits the application of amorphous materials to a certain extent. In the future, with technological progress, bulk alloys are expected to break through the size limit of structural parts and realize the large-scale production of large super-strong structural parts.
2.4 The company's amorphous alloy is in a leading position in China
The earlier bulk amorphous alloy forming equipment in the world is the amorphous alloy injection equipment developed by Liquidmetal Technologies in the United States and ENGEI in Europe in 2015, but the forming equipment developed and manufactured by it is the company’s secret and is not external. Sales, so its details are not clear to the outside world. Huawei, BYD, Foxconn and Yi'an were among the earliest domestic companies that started industrializing bulk amorphous alloys. Since 2008, BYD has opened

Accelerated expansion of production capacity through partnership investment and technology transfer: We believe that the bottleneck of production capacity is the core problem that the company’s liquid metal business needs to solve at present. The company’s existing machines cannot support large-scale production. The industrialization expansion project of alloy precision structural parts" is mainly used for the production of consumer electronic product accessories. The total investment of the project is 300 million yuan, and an annual production capacity of 890 tons will be formed after it reaches full capacity. The previous expansion plan was delayed due to the demolition and relocation along the railway, and the project was postponed to May 30, 2021. The "Amorphous Alloy R&D Center Construction Project" planned during the same period was terminated. In March 2020, Yi'an and Sanxiang Zirconium Magnesium established "Ningde Sanxiang Liquid Metal Technology Co., Ltd." with a 40%:60% foreign investment. The alloy-related patents and know-how are licensed to Ningde Sanxiang for use. Ningde Sanxiang paid a technology license fee of RMB 40 million to Yi'an Technology and Yihao Metal.

3. Biodegradable medical magnesium alloys benefit orthopedic patients
3.1 Biodegradable medical magnesium alloys have obvious advantages in orthopedics applications
Biodegradable medical magnesium alloys have been successfully used in orthopedic implants: Magnesium and its alloys as medical biomaterials can be traced back to 1878. Edward used pure magnesium wire as a ligature to ligate blood vessels to stop bleeding; until 1900, Payr proposed to use it. Pure magnesium is used as bone material. Lambotte used pure magnesium plates to treat lower limb fractures in 1907. Early clinical application studies have found that magnesium is biologically safe and can promote bone healing; however, because magnesium is degraded too quickly in the body, fractures have not healed, and internal fixation fails. After a long period of time, magnesium and magnesium alloys Clinical research has basically stopped.
The main problem is the excessively fast degradation rate and the generation of air pockets: Magnesium and magnesium alloys may cause insufficient fixation in the early stage of the patient's recovery period due to the excessively fast degradation rate and severe degradation morphology, and thus cannot bear the fixation of the bone mass of the load-bearing part; At the same time, due to the active chemical nature of magnesium in the body, the potential is low (-2.37V vs SHE (standard hydrogen electrode)). In a liquid environment rich in Cl -, galvanic cells are easily formed between the matrix and the second phase, resulting in galvanic coupling. Corrosion and gas generation at the same time, the chemical reaction formula is as follows:
Mg+2H2O+2Cl- ?MgCl2 +H2 +2OH- With the breakthrough of smelting technology and the improvement of casting process, on the one hand, the purity of magnesium has been greatly improved, on the other hand, zinc, calcium, manganese, aluminum, rare earth and other elements are added The formation of magnesium alloys significantly improves the corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of magnesium and its alloys, so that magnesium and its alloys as biodegradable medical materials have once again attracted attention and become one of the research focuses and hotspots in the field of medical biomaterials at home and abroad.
3.1.1 Compared with traditional titanium alloy, stainless steel and other alloy materials, magnesium alloy has significant advantages
? Corrosion and degradation in the body and full absorption, avoiding secondary operations. Magnesium and magnesium alloy materials have good biocompatibility with the human body, avoiding the pain and wounds of secondary operations. This has a good application prospect for facial plastic surgery. .
? Magnesium is a macro-element in the human body and has good biocompatibility. After being implanted in the human body, magnesium bone nails can undergo dynamic degradation behavior, and its degradation products will not cause allergic reactions in the human body. Magnesium ions are the fourth largest metal in the human body. Elements, adults need to take in 300-400 mg of magnesium every day, and excessive Mg2+ can be excreted through urine. At the same time, magnesium alloy has good cell compatibility, and cells can effectively attach, diffuse and proliferate on the magnesium alloy.
? Good comprehensive mechanical properties, close to human bone tissues. Compared with traditional titanium alloys, cobalt-chromium alloys, stainless steel and other traditional alloy materials, magnesium and magnesium alloy materials have a density and elastic modulus that match human bones. It can largely avoid the stress shielding effect after implantation, that is, when two or more materials with different rigidity bear external force together, the material with higher rigidity will bear higher load, while the material with lower rigidity will bear higher load. The material only needs to bear a low load, causing stress to concentrate on the interface between the bone and the implanted bone nail, thereby reducing the stability of the bone nail and inhibiting the growth of new bone.
? Mg2+ has biological activity and accelerates the rate of bone formation
In bone repair, Mg 2+ stimulates the spinal ganglia to release calcitonin gene-related peptides, induces the production of related proteins, and promotes bone formation. Therefore, magnesium alloys are often used as medical devices for internal fixation of fractures.
? As a common metal, magnesium costs much lower than titanium alloys.

3.1.2 High purity magnesium VS magnesium alloy: single element, stable degradation rate
? Single element, no need to consider the effects of multi-element toxicity. Compared with European rare earth magnesium bone nail products, the degradable magnesium bone internal fixation screw developed by Mei'an is made of 99.999% high-purity magnesium. Due to the single element, it avoids the influence of other elements. The impact is more stable and harmless.
? Stable degradation rate and controllable cavitation generation. Previously, rare-earth magnesium alloy bone nails have reported bone cysts, cavitation caused by excessive degradation, and joint fusion failures caused by cavitation. Compared with magnesium alloys, high purity magnesium (>99.9%) is an effective method to reduce the degradation rate. In 2013, the chief scientist of Eian Technology, Professor Zhao Dewei of Zhongshan Hospital of Dalian University, performed the world's first pure magnesium bone nail for femoral necrosis with vascularized bone flap transplantation. So far, more than 100 cases have been completed, and the treatment effect is very good. The results also show that the high-purity magnesium bone nail has an acceptable degradation rate, which not only meets the fixation requirements at the initial stage of the operation, but also because there is no obvious air pocket formation, it will not affect the fusion of the graft and the tissue. The degradation product magnesium ions will instead promote the surrounding bone The formation of the organization.
Figure 25: The first case of pure magnesium bone nail applied to femoral necrosis with vascularized bone flap transplantation Figure 26: Common joint fractures
3.2 The successful clinical trials of medical magnesium bone nails will open up the tens of billions of medical equipment market
The company's high-purity magnesium bone nails are the first to enter the clinical trial phase: In 2008, Yian Technology, with the joint research and development and help of some university professors, began to develop a magnesium preparation method with a purity of 99.999%. A wholly-owned subsidiary of Yian Technology: Dongguan Mei'an Medical Devices Co., Ltd., which has focused on the development of the medical magnesium industry for many years. At present, the clinical trials of magnesium bone nails by Mei'an Company are mainly used for avascular necrosis of the femoral head and for vascularized bone flaps. The internal fixation of the bone flap during transplantation will continue to expand the indications in the follow-up. In July 2019, the degradable magnesium internal fixation screw developed by Mei'an became the first domestically approved biodegradable biodegradable screw.

Metal screw is also the world's first clinical trial using pure magnesium as an implant in the body. It is currently being implemented smoothly in conjunction with nine hospitals. In May 2020, the company's biodegradable magnesium internal fixation screws obtained the EU CE certification and can be sold to the EU market. In June 2020, the company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Mei'an Medical, sold 100 samples of magnesium internal fixation screws to Georgia International Innovative Medical Services. In addition to the application of high-purity magnesium bone nails, the company is also developing high-value implant products such as bone plates made of high-purity magnesium and high-purity magnesium stents.

Trauma medical consumables opened up the blue ocean market for the company: From 2013 to 2018, the sales revenue of China's trauma implant consumables market increased from 3.8 billion yuan to 7.7 billion yuan, and it is expected to reach 14 billion yuan in 2023. The main materials involved at present include stainless steel, metal alloys, medical titanium materials, inorganic non-metallic materials (hydroxyapatite, etc.), polymer materials (polyetheretherketone PEEK) and absorbable materials such as polylactic acid, while medical magnesium The alloy has excellent properties such as close to human bones, degradability, and promotion of bone repair. After successful clinical trials, it is expected to accelerate market penetration.
The aging of the population and consumption upgrade are good for the medical device market: as the age increases, the prevalence of orthopedics will be higher. In 2019, my country's population over 65 years old exceeded 170 million people, accounting for 13%, and the life expectancy of people is getting longer and longer, from 67.8 years in 1982 to 76.3 years in 2015. The penetration rate of joint surgery in my country is extremely low at 0.6%, while that in the United States is 43%. In the future, with the consumption upgrade trend, my country's orthopedic medical equipment is expected to continue to maintain high growth.

4. New energy vehicles support the magnesium-aluminum light alloy business sector
The profitability of the magnesium-aluminum alloy business is still under pressure and remains the company's main source of revenue: In 2020, the company's magnesium-aluminum alloy business revenue was 578 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 18%; the gross profit margin in 2020 was only 8.0%, which was 18.5% in 2019 dramatically drop. The company's magnesium products business revenue decreased by 20.5% year-on-year, and costs decreased by 11.3% year-on-year; aluminum product revenues decreased by 13.9% year-on-year, and costs decreased by 1.5% year-on-year. It can be seen that as market competition intensifies, the company's magnesium-aluminum alloy products will be under pressure in the future. The company needs to further reduce costs and increase efficiency, and increase the proportion of high-margin products.
4.1 Lightweight vehicles open up the magnesium-aluminum alloy market space, and new energy vehicles are expected to accelerate the lightweight process
Automobile lightweight opens up market space for magnesium-aluminum light alloys. There is still a gap between the amount of aluminum-magnesium used in bicycles in my fcountry and foreign car companies: magnesium alloys, together with aluminum alloys, have become ideal materials for lightweight vehicles due to their light weight, high specific strength and high specific rigidity. Moreover, as the lightest metal structural material, magnesium alloy is more effective than aluminum alloy in reducing weight, and the room for increasing the amount of magnesium used in bicycles is also broader than aluminum. Under the condition of equal bending rigidity, the use of aluminum alloy instead of steel can reduce the dead weight by 61%, and the magnesium alloy can achieve 74%. According to the "Overview of the Situationalization of New Energy Vehicles", for every 10% reduction in the quality of new energy vehicles, the corresponding cruising range can increase by 5%-10%, saving 15%-20% of battery costs and 20% of daily loss costs, and new energy vehicles reduce weight The demands are more urgent than traditional cars.

New energy vehicles drive the demand for new magnesium-aluminum alloy materials: How to improve the energy density ratio of power batteries, and realize the lightweight and structural safety of battery boxes, has become the first issue for new energy vehicle manufacturers to consider. The comprehensive cost performance of new materials such as magnesium-aluminum alloy is higher than that of steel, plastics and composite materials, and they are ideal materials for lightweighting new energy vehicles. Tesla Model S uses an all-aluminum body, and the weight is reduced to 2.1 tons. In order to increase the cruising range of new energy vehicles, the proportion of aluminum and magnesium alloy components may be further increased in the future.
According to data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, in 2020, the production and sales of new energy vehicles will be 1.366 million and 1.367 million respectively, a year-on-year increase of 7.5% and 10.9% respectively. In October 2020, the State Council formally issued the "New Energy Vehicle Industry Development Plan (2021-2035)", which made requirements in terms of technology development and innovation, infrastructure construction, and the use of new energy vehicles in the public service sector, and clarified that by 2025, China's new energy vehicle sales accounted for about 25%.

The purpose of lightweight chassis, thereby reducing the weight of the entire vehicle. From 1993 to 2013, the average car weight in Europe, Japan and other countries has been reduced by 25%. It is planned to reduce the average car weight by another 20%-25% in the next 10-15 years. The United States plans to achieve a 25% reduction in vehicle curb weight by 2020 compared to 2010. Many well-known foreign companies have also set lightweight phase goals. For example, Ford's lightweight goal is to use lightweight materials for new cars and trucks by 2020, and reduce the weight of a single vehicle by 110-340Kg.

The establishment of a joint venture company with Yunhai Metal in Chaohu and the construction of production capacity this time have a very positive significance for realizing the strategic layout of the Yangtze River Delta, reducing material costs, and expanding and strengthening the 3C and automotive magnesium alloy business.
First, ensure the supply of raw materials and significantly reduce costs. The company is close to the Chaohu Yunhai magnesium alloy production line (with an annual output of 50,000 tons of magnesium alloys). The joint venture with Yunhai Metal can reduce the cost of raw material transportation. It can be directly supplied through molten magnesium water, eliminating the cost of magnesium alloy ingot smelting and the cost of raw materials. Oxidation consumption, finally, can also be recycled through waste magnesium to form a closed loop, further reducing costs. According to the company's preliminary calculation, the cost of magnesium alloy raw materials for the project will be reduced by about 15%-20% compared with the current one, which greatly enhances the cost advantage of the company's products. At the same time, using Yunhai Metal's existing construction land in Chaohu, the project was implemented very quickly.
Second, occupy the golden area of ??the light alloy die-casting market in the Yangtze River Delta and realize the strategic layout of "Pearl River Delta + Yangtze River Delta" dual centers. Since the establishment of the company, the place of operation has been in the Pearl River Delta region. The Yangtze River Delta region is one of the largest automobile production bases in my country. There are well-known automobile manufacturers such as SAIC, Shanghai Volkswagen, Shanghai GM, etc., and the country's most comprehensive and largest auto parts industry cluster; in Anhui Province , There are automobile manufacturers such as Chery Automobile, Jianghuai Automobile and Hefei Changan. In the field of notebook computers, this project can radiate Hefei LCFC (Lianbao, a joint venture between Lenovo Group and Taiwan Compal Group), Suzhou Pegatron (Heshuo), Shanghai HP (HP), Kunshan Wistron (Wistron), Kunshan Compal, etc. The main notebook computer assembly factory.
5. Profit forecast and investment advice

Please read the statement on the last page of this report carefully
5.1 Earnings forecast assumptions
Operating income
The core of the company's current revenue comes from the sales of core aluminum and magnesium products. As the company's current core business, it is expected to open up a broader market space for the company after its applications in the fields of medicine and automobiles are gradually promoted. At the same time, taking into account the company's own competitive advantages in segmented areas, we reasonably expect the company's operating income from 2021 to 2023 to be 11.88, 15.24, and 1.905 billion yuan, corresponding to growth rates of 25.6%, 28.3%, and 25.0%, respectively.
Gross margin
The gross profit margin of the company's magnesium-aluminum alloy products is affected by the fluctuation of the corresponding metal prices, and the gross profit margin is subject to certain volatility. We reasonably assume that the subsequent gross profit margin of the company's main operations will stabilize, and the high gross profit portion from liquid metal sales is expected to gradually increase the company's overall gross profit margin. We expect the company's gross profit margin to achieve 21.48%, 21.89%, and 22.02% in 2021-2023, respectively.
Period expense ratio Sales expense ratio: The company's sales expense ratio is expected to drop significantly in the future. The core reason is that the company's current main business has successfully docked with the core customer groups in the industry, and it is expected to form a long-term binding relationship with customers in the future, and sales expenses will reduce the erosion of profits. Management expense ratio: The company's daily expenses are mainly concentrated in management expenses. As the company's current business segments are still in a period of heavy performance, the core management team still needs to be filled as the business gradually expands. We expect the company's management expenses and revenue scale to grow at the same rate. R&D expense ratio: The company's R&D expense is mainly connected to the current core business segments. Considering that the company has formed a leading position in the subdivision field and possesses R&D advantages, and its products have been recognized by core customers at home and abroad, the subsequent R&D expense rate is expected to remain stable.

New Nikko
New Nikko (3376), a major domestic bearing manufacturer, and Apple is expected to release new Macbooks and AirPods in the second half of the year. Recently, it has been speeding up to increase capacity utilization. As soon as the third quarter, the shipment momentum will be significantly stronger, which will help operations quickly recover. temperature.
The legal person further pointed out that Nippon Nippon will cooperate with the new Macbook and AirPods products in the near future to fully increase capacity utilization, which is expected to drive stronger operations in the second half of the year. It is estimated that Nissei’s net profit per share this year is 9.7 yuan, which is slightly less than last year’s net profit of 9.05 yuan per share. increase.
recommend
The legal person estimates that MacBook shipments this year will reach 23 million units, an annual increase of 15%. In addition, AirPods is currently in a period of replacement between new and old products. The overall shipment volume in the first half of the year is estimated to be only about 25-30 million units, a year-on-year decrease of 25 to 30%. It is expected that the new Airpods will be launched in the second half of the year, and the overall shipment volume will reach 5,000. To 55 million units, an annual increase of 10 to 15%, leading to better operating conditions during peak seasons.
It is reported that the main reason for the dull operation of Nissei in the first half of the year, except for the adjustment of Apple’s inventory, the most important other components are lack of long and short materials. Therefore, even if the bearing itself has no shortage of materials, the shipment momentum will be dragged down. The shortage of materials is expected to be in the second half of the year. Improve seasonally.
In addition, in terms of folding mobile phones, since the folding frequency of folding mobile phone bearings is much larger than that of general consumer electronic products, they are components with significant specifications upgrades. Nissei has technological advantages and is expected to benefit from this trend; it is reported that Nissei is currently Mainly targeting US mobile phone customers, because Chinese mobile phone manufacturers have exclusive clauses, while Korean mobile phone manufacturers prefer Korean suppliers. However, US customers have a low probability of publishing folding phones this year and next year and will continue to track follow-up progress.
It is reported that the current existing manpower of New Nikko can no longer meet the production. In response to the order demand, it has urgently recruited 300 online operators in the Taiwan plant in the first half of this year. It is currently planning to continue to expand production this year.
New Nikko is the world's leading manufacturer of laptop bearings. Almost the top ten laptop manufacturers are its customers. It is also a major supplier of Apple AirPods charging boxes and AirPods Pro Max bearings. Xin Nikko’s share price fell slightly by 1 yuan today.
