Strategic Value of Civil-Military Integration
AZM's performance makes it highly valuable in the field: in shipbuilding, its resistance to seawater corrosion can extend the lifespan of the hull to over 40 years, reducing maintenance frequency; in equipment, the lightweight characteristics of AZM substrates (30% lower density than steel) enhance equipment mobility; in facilities, its electromagnetic pulse resistance ensures stable operation of critical equipment in complex electromagnetic environments. Currently, Chinese industrial enterprises have included AZM in the "Equipment Selection Materials Catalog," conducting application verification on key equipment such as aircraft carrier decks and launchers, with an expected purchase volume to exceed 100,000 tons during the 14th Five-Year Plan period.
