Introduction
In the whole modern world it is difficult to find a branch of industry, not using somehow polymeric & composite materials (PCM). So, nowadays leading industrial areas in USA and Europe are being actively using such materials. If we compare the share of PCM consumption by the foreign production with the share of its consumption by leading branches of the Russian economics, it will, accordingly, be 20 times higher for USA and 10 times higher for Europe. In Russian economics PCM are being used mostly in the aircraft engineering, where its share achieves 15%, while in the ship building industry the share of these materials does not exceed 2%. Naturally, in order to reduce the negative influence of sanction restrictions, Russia should at faster pace develop scientific & research and experimental development (R&D) in order to develop the PCM production and to implement it in future for the development of high technologic branches of its economics. That's why to be sure the expansion of scales and areas of PCM application is one of material competitive advantages of the Russian MIC, which can be successfully implemented in branch strategies of the import substitution. Modern peculiarities of these processes will be disclosed in this article.
Target of research
The main target of this research is to reveal modern competitive advantages of the
Russian economics, namely, the expansion of scales of manufacturing and application of PCM, which can be successfully used for the implementation in branch strategies of the import substitution.
Materials and methods
The implementation of branch import substitution strategies at the modern stage of the economic development of Russia contributes to the intensive transfer to the manufacturing of the high technology and science consuming production. It is based on the active implementation of innovative technologies, increasing quality of the released production, modernization of all branches of economics. There is good reason that Minpromtorg of Russia has approved 20 branch plans of the import substitution, covering 2200 technologic trends of the development of national economics and determining measures for the stimulation of branches and leading enterprises, taking part in the implementation of such programs [1].
Anyway, till the present time, there are still negative factors in Russia, hindering the stable growth of the production of branches of the national economics. Among it should be highlighted the negative financing of R & D, oriented to the obtaining of materials with principally new features, keeping the technological inferiority of Russian manufacturers of the new generation of PCM. In this juncture the sufficiently great
quantity of national enterprises have to purchase necessary raw materials, resins and fibers abroad. Principally new PCM features are created by means of use of several components. These materials are based on the matrix, made of metal, polymer or ceramics, which is additionally reinforced by fillers, made of different kinds of fibers, crystals and particles [2].
The remaining negative factor is the worked out system of tenders for the purchase of such kinds of materials. On the one hand it clearly comprises the whole scope of materials for the purchase, but on the other hand it completely lacks the necessary flexibility in the selection of alternate solutions. Besides that, enterprises have not got qualified experts, having necessary professional competences, knowledge and experience in the PCM production. There is no sufficient interaction between direct manufacturers of PCM and large scale branch enterprises, which would have got the extra incentive for its development while replacing traditional materials by PCM. Another sophisticated problem is that there are no viable mechanisms of the technical regulation, Russian standards for the PCM production, as well as methods for its testing. So, for example, only in 2015 in Russia was implemented the GOST for the glass fiber made of the glass wool.
With that nowadays there are all conditions for the development of the production of composite materials and the situation in this area is gradually improving. To a great extent these terms are provided by the scientific backlog, preserved by MIC, the need for the implementation of branch strategies of the import substitution and for the increase of the efficiency of the interaction between PCM manufacturing enterprises and large consumer enterprises.
As we know, the practice of use of PCM nowadays cover many industrial area. It is applied in construction, for the manufacturing of armored glasses, medical
prosthetics, elements for electronic plates etc. Brand new PCM features allow its successful application in aircraft building, car building, ship building and rocket building industry for the manufacturing of military and civil production. Elements of devices and equipment, manufactured of PCM, are used for the exploitation in aggressive media and at high temperatures, namely: in satellite vehicles, at nuclear plants, at manufacturing of the military technique and armaments' systems.
Main kinds of PCM comprise: metallic composite materials, based on non-ferrous metals (copper, aluminum, nickel etc.); ceramic PCM, manufactured by the agglomeration technique under the ceramic mass pressure with the addition of organic fibers, both of natural and artificial origin, which weight features considerably exceed fiberglass and carbon fiber items; laminated fabrics, which production is based on the polymeric matrix and tissues of different origin are used as filler.
Nowadays, as PCM filler are used different polymeric substances, providing leeway for its application in different areas, both civil ones, for example, dentistry, and the military one, for example, for the manufacturing of the military technique and of armaments' systems. The modern practice shows that PCM are more effectively applied in high technology industries. So, the modern aircraft cannot be created without PCM, with that in leading models of aircrafts the PCM share exceeds 60%. The main peculiarity of PCM is the possibility to obtain a certain set of features by means of the combination of different matrices and its reinforcing elements. In other words, nowadays PCM can be manufactured with earlier given features to be applied in certain branches of economics [2].
Nowadays two methods are being used for the production of PCM and items made of it. The first of it - the vacuum infusion technology - allows to manufacture sufficient large scale
items. Anyway, the high cost of used materials is a material shortage of this technology. Otherwise, such another production method as PCM - RTM, are of limited application at the manufacturing of too large-format items. In this juncture it is used for the production of mid-range products, from which the whole construction is being assembled. The use of PCM for the manufacturing of large scale structures consolidates several technologic processes. At the input there is a certain consequence of the feeding of ordinary and construction materials. In the course of production according to such or such technology it is transformed to PCM and used for the assembly of a certain item.
Results and discussions
Already in 2016 the share of foreign completing parts and equipment, manufacturing with application of PCM in some branches of the Russian economics exceeded 90%. Nowadays PCM serves as basis for the development and creation of devices, having enhanced invisibility features, to which are referred unmanned drones (UMD). The use of PCM in details of UMD constructions considerably hinders its reveal at middle and far distances.
Nowadays the share of PCM application in the aircraft building area continues its stable growth. If in last 80s the share of PCM items was 10-15% from the plane weight, than in modern long-haul aircrafts it exceeds 60%. PCM is used for the manufacturing of the centre wing, body, wing and tailplane structure. For the most modern Russian MC-
21 at AeroComposite plant in Ulianovsk was launched the serial production of the PCM wing structure. In the aircraft building industry are carried out R & D for the development of most modern technologies for the production of light absorber loaded PCM on the basis of nanocarbon compounds. Due to the successful application of PCM in the aircraft building industry Russia is being actively developing the production of civil planes and is among leading world countries for the production of modern military planes.
Conclusion
Results, obtained in the course of research, allow to formulate following opinions.
1. The implementation of branch import substantiation programs is as relevant as ever for the PCM manufacturing. First of all due to the active development and implementation of modern PCM in the manufacturing of the modern military technique and armaments. In this way are implemented competitive advantages of the Russian MIC.
2. The Federal program "Development of the Military & Industrial Complex" establishes the requirement for the step by step increase of the civil production volume at branch MIC enterprises. So, till the year 2020 the share of such production should grow in 1,3 times [3]. Accordingly should be also expected the growth of the share of PCM used for its manufacturing. This circumstance allows to be quite optimistic as to prospects of development and implementation of import substitution programs in the national economics.
