On April 23, in the workshop of Linshu Yamada New Materials Group Co., Ltd., skilled workers were installing their self-developed "behemoth". "The machine, which is made of new materials, has a diameter of 3 meters and a length of 13 meters, and is mainly used for the production of silicon ingot materials. As the world's first, it has caught up with the global demand outlet, with a market share of 100%. Gong Zhigang, chairman of the group, said.
This "behemoth" is the intelligent super-large vacuum sintering furnace equipment independently developed by Yamada Company, which is currently the largest working size at home and abroad and the super-large vacuum sintering furnace based on big data intelligent temperature control, which solves the technical problem of "stuck neck" of vacuum furnace software and hardware integration and fills the gap at home and abroad.
Under normal circumstances, the R&D cycle of new technologies is generally relatively long, but the R&D project of Yamada New Materials' intelligent ultra-large vacuum heat treatment equipment took only 11 months to "walk" from the laboratory to the workshop. In addition, Yamada has also overcome more than 10 key common technical problems such as the key technology of integrated molding and toughening of ultra-large silicon carbide structural parts, the surface modification of silicon carbide ceramics, etc., laying a technical foundation for the industrialization of silicon carbide ceramics.
Linshu Yamada New Materials Group Co., Ltd. was founded in 2003, at the beginning of the establishment of the factory, the company cooperated with Japan's Fujimi Company, mainly producing silicon carbide powder. In 2007, after the withdrawal of foreign capital, the company realized independent operation. In August 2011, the company was approved to build Linyi Enterprise Technology Center. In June 2017, the "Surface Treatment Powder Material Engineering Laboratory" was recognized as the Shandong Provincial Engineering Laboratory. In October 2018, it was approved to build a national postdoctoral research station. In December of the same year, Shandong Shantian New Material Branch, a branch, was recognized as a national high-tech enterprise. In 2021, the company changed its name to Yamada New Materials Group Co., Ltd., and its sales revenue and payment collection doubled. In 2022, the silicon-carbon new material and intelligent equipment project was selected as one of the top ten projects for high-quality development in Linyi City.
The key to constantly breaking through technical difficulties lies in talents. The company has strengthened the recruitment and cultivation of talents. Since the beginning of this year, we have introduced 5 full-time doctors (including 2 foreign doctors) and 31 master's students, and introduced a number of high-level talents such as winners of Huawei's "Top 10 Blue Blood" titles and experts from industry standards committees.
To build an innovation system for all employees, advocate the concept of "innovation is a steady stream of improvement and improvement", the chairman and senior executives set up their offices in the production workshop, leading employees to focus on the process and data on the front line, solve problems on the spot, and form a good atmosphere of "all employees focus on innovation". According to statistics, the annual production cost reduced by the innovation of all employees reaches more than 1,000 yuan.
Scientific and technological innovation is the foundation and driving force for the development of enterprises, and platform construction is a strong guarantee for accelerating scientific and technological innovation. On the basis of making full use of R&D platforms such as postdoctoral research workstations, Yamada Group actively applies for technological innovation centers and strives to build a better platform for all kinds of talents. It has successively built a national postdoctoral research station, Shandong Silicon Carbide Bulletproof Composite Materials Engineering Technology Research Center, Shandong Engineering Research Center of Multiphase Composite Ceramic Materials, Shandong Enterprise Technology Center, and Shandong One Enterprise One Technology R&D Center. It has undertaken 5 scientific research projects at or above the provincial level, such as the National Key R&D Program, the Major Innovation Project of Shandong Province, and the Key R&D Program of Shandong Province. We have continuously carried out in-depth industry-university-research cooperation, and successively established industry-university-research cooperation with the Institute of Process Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Academy of Armored Forces, Shandong University, Northeastern University, Shandong Provincial Machinery Design and Research Institute, the Key Laboratory of National Defense Science and Technology of Equipment Remanufacturing Technology, and the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, so as to guide all kinds of talents to participate in innovation projects and enhance the hard power of innovation curate. At present, it is cooperating with the academician team of Wuhan University of Technology to carry out the research and development of new semiconductor materials.
According to Li Zhitao, director of the office of Yamada New Materials Group, the company is a leading enterprise in the field of silicon carbide ceramics, and the technology of silicon carbide ceramic rollers has reached the international advanced level, and the sales volume is far ahead. Among them, the integrated molding process and toughening key technology of super-large silicon carbide ceramics break the international technology monopoly and make up for the shortcomings of the industrialization of super-large silicon carbide ceramics, which are the key basic materials for the key development of the country. The self-developed ultra-large automatic silicon carbide reaction sintering vacuum furnace has overcome the "stuck neck" link in the industry and filled the gap at home and abroad. The company has obtained more than 100 national patents. In order to practice the dual carbon strategy, the company pioneered a new process for the production of green and low-carbon silicon carbide ceramics, which reduced energy consumption by 30%, increased production capacity by 20%, and increased the pass rate by 10% compared with similar products in China, of which the use rate of green materials was higher than 30%, leading and promoting the technological progress of silicon carbide ceramics in China.
After 20 years of development, intensive cultivation, exploration and innovation, Yamada New Materials Group Co., Ltd. has strengthened independent research and development, constantly sought new areas of expansion in exploration, and led the industry vane in breakthroughs. The company has been recognized as a national high-tech enterprise, a national single champion demonstration enterprise, a national green factory, a technological innovation demonstration enterprise in Shandong Province, a gazelle enterprise in Shandong Province, a specialized and special new enterprise in Shandong Province, and one of the top 50 leading enterprises in new materials in Shandong Province.
Yamada Group has developed from a single product enterprise to an international new material enterprise with three leading industrial chains of diamond wire, silicon carbide ceramics and intelligent equipment manufacturing, and its products are exported to Japan, the Middle East and other countries and regions. The company's exhibition area is plastered with a whole wall of scientific research platform schematic diagram and dozens of academician "think tanks" are the answer to its rise. "We will continue to strengthen technological innovation and talent introduction and training, accelerate the pace of project construction, lead new development with new kinetic energy, and achieve the promotion of domestic leading to international leading. Gong Zhigang, chairman of the company, said.
