Shaanxi Nonferrous Carbon-Ceramic Composite and Zhongfu Shenying Sign Cooperation Agreement

Shaanxi Nonferrous Carbon-Ceramic Composite Materials R&D Co., Ltd., a unit of Shaanxi Nonferrous Metals Holding Group Co., Ltd., has signed a cooperation agreement with Zhongfu Shenying Carbon Fiber Co., Ltd. (SSE: 688295), covering joint R&D, application development, and market expansion.

Wu Qunying, Party Secretary and Chairman of #ShaanxiNonferrousMetals Holding Group; Wang Gang, Chairman of Shaanxi Nonferrous Carbon-Ceramic Composite; Zhang Jian, Party Secretary and Chairman of Zhongfu Shenying; and Li Wei, Vice General Manager of Zhongfu Shenying, attended the signing ceremony.

Shaanxi Nonferrous Metals Holding Group is a large provincial state-owned enterprise. Its subsidiary, Shaanxi Nonferrous Carbon-Ceramic Composite, specializes in #carbonceramicbrakediscs for passenger vehicles, civil aviation, unmanned aerial vehicles, and high-speed rail. Wu Qunying described Zhongfu Shenying as a leading enterprise along the industrial chain, adding that the two parties would jointly extend the performance boundaries and application scenarios of carbon fiber composites. Zhang Jian noted that Zhongfu Shenying operates the world's most complete carbon fiber product portfolio and the longest processing chain in the materials sector, and that the two companies would work together to accelerate the commercialization of carbon-ceramic innovations.

Both carbon fiber and carbon-ceramic composites are key strategic materials prioritized under national industrial policy. Compared with conventional cast iron discs, carbon-ceramic brake discs offer weight savings of more than 60%, helping extend the driving range of new energy vehicles and mitigate high-speed brake fade. In line with lightweighting and low-carbon trends, the technology is moving beyond a high-end optional configuration toward large-scale deployment. As the core reinforcement material for carbon-ceramic brake discs, the matched-grade carbon fiber developed by Zhongfu Shenying secures brake disc performance at the source and supports lower overall production costs. The partnership connects the full chain of carbon fiber raw materials, carbon-ceramic composites, and finished braking products, delivering a coordinated supply chain to support the lightweighting upgrade of new energy vehicles and high-end equipment.

From a single carbon fiber filament to a finished carbon-ceramic brake disc, and from passenger vehicles to high-end equipment, the two parties will jointly open new application avenues. Drawing on its proven technical strengths in high-performance carbon fiber for aerospace and other frontier fields, #ZhongfuShenying will further serve carbon-ceramic brake discs for passenger and commercial vehicles, as well as demanding special-condition applications, providing critical raw material assurance for high-performance use cases.
