fiber, glass fiber) to form high-strength and lightweight composite components.
3. * * Technical Requirements * *: Aerospace grade hot press tanks must have high-precision temperature and pressure control systems to ensure that composite materials are uniformly cured under strict process conditions,
achieving predetermined mechanical properties and structural integrity.
4. * * Size and Customization * *: Due to the usually large size of aerospace components, the size of hot pressed cans also increases accordingly, and special designs may be required to meet the molding requirements of specific
components. This may lead to cost increases, but it is crucial to ensure product quality.
5. * * Safety and Durability * *: This type of hot press tank emphasizes safety in its design, including pressure control systems, emergency pressure relief devices, etc., to ensure the safety of the operation process.
At the same time, the material and structure of the tank must be able to withstand long-term high temperature and high pressure use, ensuring the durability of the equipment.
6. Automation and Monitoring: Modern hot press tanks tend to be highly automated, with integrated data recording and analysis systems that can accurately monitor various parameters during the solidification process,
ensuring product quality and optimizing production efficiency.
7. * * Cost and Benefit * *: Although the initial investment and operating costs are high, composite hot press tanks used in aerospace can produce high-performance and lightweight components, thereby bringing significant
economic benefits in improving aircraft performance and reducing fuel consumption.
In summary, composite hot press tanks for aerospace are an indispensable part of high-tech manufacturing, and the continuous progress of their technology is of great significance for promoting the development of
the aerospace industry.

Tank body, we use Q345R as raw material
Steel Q345-R, as a widely used low alloy high-strength structural steel, represents the yield strength with "Q" in its grade, while "345" indicates that the yield strength (in megapascals, MPa) of this steel under
standard test conditions reaches 345MPa. The subsequent "R" symbol specifically indicates that the steel is suitable for container manufacturing,
that is, it has good welding performance and certain high-temperature resistance characteristics, and is suitable for the production of pressure vessels, storage tanks and other equipment.
The characteristics of Q345-R steel include:
1. Mechanical properties: In addition to having a yield strength of no less than 345MPa, it also has good tensile strength, generally up to 470-630MPa, as well as good toughness, plasticity, and weldability, ensuring
the safety of components under complex stress states.
2. Chemical composition: As a low alloy steel, Q345-R contains small amounts of alloying elements such as manganese (Mn), silicon (Si), titanium (Ti), niobium (Nb), etc. The addition of these elements can significantly
improve the comprehensive mechanical properties of the steel without significantly increasing its weight, ensuring strength while reducing the structural weight.
3. Corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance: Although Q345 series steel is mainly designed for room temperature environments, Q345-R has certain corrosion resistance and resistance to medium and
low temperatures (usually from room temperature to about 400 ℃) through specific composition adjustments and heat treatment, making it suitable for manufacturing containers that can withstand certain temperature and pressure.
4. Processing performance: Good cold forming and welding performance make Q345-R easy to process into various complex shaped components, meeting different engineering needs, especially in the fields of chemical, petroleum,
energy, etc. It has a wide range of applications.
In practical applications, Q345-R steel needs to undergo strict quality control and testing to ensure that its various performance indicators comply with relevant national standards (such as GB/T 713), in order to ensure its safety
and reliability under design and usage conditions. Whether it's building large oil storage tanks, high-pressure vessels, or industrial boilers, Q345-R is a trusted choice for engineers.
