For more than 40 years, the United States and Japan have dominated the carbon fiber field. The Soviet Union was not able to overcome this difficulty before its collapse, so stealth fighters have always been a headache for Russia. Because there is no carbon fiber, only stainless steel can be used to build fighters, but stainless steel is heavy and easily detected by radar. In order to achieve true radar stealth and excellent maneuverability, carbon fiber is a material that must be used. Carbon fiber is an important material for stealth fighters such as the current J-20.
However, this thing used to be imported, and Japan has always monopolized carbon fiber technology, and also regarded carbon fiber as an important strategic resource for the country. In August 2020, Japan imposed a ban on the sale of high-end carbon fiber materials to China. However, the Japanese did not expect that China had already achieved carbon fiber self-sufficiency and upgraded carbon fiber technology to the T1100 level, becoming the world's most advanced carbon fiber technology.
Surprisingly, it was not a large state-owned enterprise that broke through Japan's technological blockade, but a Weihai-based fishing gear manufacturer, Guangwei Group. In 2003, the carbon fiber manufactured by Guangwei had a fate intersection with the national demand: at that time, a national project team went to Guangwei to inspect the prepreg production line and accidentally found that Guangwei was producing carbon fiber, and the members of the expert group immediately reported the matter to the Ministry of Science and Technology. At that time, Ma Songde, Vice Minister of Science and Technology, personally went to Guangwei for sampling and testing, and Guangwei carbon fiber has since entered the national vision.
In 2005, Guangwei has successfully applied carbon fiber technology to fishing rods, and Guangwei's carbon fiber technology has been highly valued by the state department, and directly ordered to prohibit the export of Guangwei carbon fiber technology. Chinese experts also invited Guangwei Fishing Gear to participate in the carbon fiber improvement and research and development of the national 863 project. With the participation of Guangwei fishing gear, China has successfully mastered the high-performance carbon fiber engineering technology of small tow, and since then, China has completely broken the long-term monopoly of Western countries in carbon fiber technology.
There are many areas where we are stuck by Western countries, and which one will be truly blocked?On the contrary, the imposition of a blockade on our country will undoubtedly be a cocoon for Western countries. Once self-sufficiency is achieved, there will be nothing left for Western countries. In short, with the major breakthrough in China's carbon fiber technology, this field no longer has to look at the face of the United States and Western countries.
Guangwei Group is a fishing gear manufacturer located in Weihai, founded in 1993, is a modern enterprise integrating R&D, design, production and sales. However, the breakthrough in carbon fiber technology has made it the main supplier of medium industry.

It can be said that Guangwei Group is a key force in China's carbon fiber technology breakthrough, and its continuous research and development and innovation have made important contributions to the development of China's leading industrial industry.
Carbon fiber is the king of materials, with the advantages of light weight, high strength and high toughness. It has a wide range of applications in aerospace, rail transit, and civil fields.
