Object of study.
A. Silicated graphite
The combinations of carbon and silicon in various versions can have high resistance at high temperatures and other aggressive environments, resistance to multiple heat supply, good friction characteristics. This makes it possible to use silicated graphite as friction vapor in axial and radial bearings and end seals, in protective reinforcement thermocouple of immersion, in technological equipment, for equipment units operating in liquid and paragraphic aggressive media at temperatures from minus 70 to plus 3000 ° C and others .
The main options for the name of products:
Graphite with impregnation or silicon coating
-Sic-C-Si, Carbon Silicon Impregnated-silicated graphite
- C-Sic, Carbon Surface Silicated- Carbon with a silicate surface
- Sic, DLC Coated - silicon carbide with DLC (Diamond Like Carbon)
Squused carbide-cream materials
- S-Sic, Sil. Carb. Sintered Pressureless - Silicon Silicon Carbide
- Sic-Si, Sil. Carb. Reaction Bonded - reactionary silicon carbide
- Sic -C, Sic Sintered Pressureless with Carbon - Silicon Carbide with carbon
b. Grace -based sealing materials with impregnation
- Carbon Graphite, Antimony Impregnated - carleographic, saturated with antimony
- Carbon Graphite, Resin Impreignated - carleographic, saturated with resins
- Electrographite, Antimony Impregnated - electrographs (graphite carbon materials), soaked in a tinker
Research tasks.
It is necessary to carry out segmentation of products in the areas of consumption. In each market segment, it is necessary to complete the following tasks:
1. Determine the market volume (by all target segments inside it):
- market size and capacity (in monetary and natural terms) (2008-2013);
- a forecast for the development of the market (in monetary and natural terms) until 2020;
- the volume of exports and imports (in monetary and natural terms) (2008-2013);
- factors affecting the development of the market (growth drivers);
- market dynamics and main trends.
2. Determine the situation in the markets in target segments:
- The situation in the markets of targeted products;
- a review of the prospects of technologies, which use SG, strategic development plans for large consumers of SG, investment programs for the construction of new capacities using SG;
- Types of products of target segments;
- unsatisfied needs of consumers regarding the technical parameters of products.
3. Determine the competitive situation in the market of SG suppliers:
- competing companies that supply SG for target segments;
- product line;
- the volume of sales of SG of these companies in monetary and natural terms The share of the market of competitors in each segment;
- Strategic plans for the development of competitors, investment programs, R&D.
- comparison of the customer's products with competitors' products in technical and operational characteristics;
- Joint enterprises and alliances of carleographic manufacturers. The reasons for the creation, methods of interaction of alliance participants.
4. Determine the potential demand for SG
- assessment and justification of potential internal and external (export) demand for products by year (2014-2020) in natural and monetary terms of segments.
5. Determine the price segments of SG:
- determine what price segments are present on the market (for example: low, medium, premium) and what such segmentation is caused;
- Determine how the market shares between different price segments.
6. SE PRODUCTION for the target segment:
- forecast for the market price of products (upper, lower border);
- the main factors that determine the movement of prices;
7. Analyze the alternative to SG:
- alternative types of materials based on current and promising technologies in this field;
- competitive advantages and disadvantages of technology/materials.
