Six programs of TISCO are among the 2020 metallurgical science and technology awards list that was revealed recently. Three of the programs dominated or participated by TISCO are awarded with the first prize, and three others are with the third prize.
The Metallurgical Science and Technology Award is the highest awards in Chinese metallurgical industry. It is awarded yearly to promote the development of Chinese metallurgical technology and to stimulate the technological innovation and application. 2020 Metallurgical Science and Technology Award were granted to totally 102 programs, including 1 special prize, 22 the first grade prize, 26 the second grade prize and 53 the third grade prize.
The 3 programs that were awarded with the first grade prize are specifically “the development and application of smelting and casting know-hows of special high alloy steel grade”, “the development and engineering application of technologies of duplex seamless tube for high-end machinery” and “the on-line monitoring and evaluation of surface quality of hot rolled strip”. The other 3 programs that were awarded with the third grade prize are, namely, “the development of key technological process and product technology of high grade austenite stainless steel with Nb content for solar energy use”, “the innovative development and application of display of typical stainless steel structure and participation phase” and “the development of pre-adjustment technology for stainless steel hot rolling operation”.
The TISCO dominated program, namely “the development and application of smelting and casting know-hows of special high alloy steel grade”, focuses on the ingot casting processes with high cost and low efficiency for producing special grade high alloy steel that were used to be import from overseas market. The development team solved various problems in smelting, casting and solidification, came out with a series of key technological innovations that are leading the world, and achieved stable production of high quality special high alloy steel grades that bolsters the technological progress of Chinese special steel industry.
Innovation driven force is a significant composition of the company’s “13th five year strategy”. Technological innovation is a reflection of company capability and an engine of innovation driven force. In the period of the 13th five year, TISCO has been strengthening innovation investment to promote transformational development, so as to substantially support the company’s general development strategy and boost the company’s innovation and technology level. As a leading player in international stainless steel industry, TISCO will never forget the instructions made by Chinese general secretary Xi Jinping in his investigation tour to Shanxi Province, always keep in mind its initial aspiration of serving the state with powerful industry, and responsibly shoulder its mission of forging the pillar for a great power. The company is paving a new path to transformational development and contributing its effort to the country’s evolving from a world factory to an advanced manufacturing power.
