A letter from Zhejiang Jiuli Special Material Technology Co., Ltd. (Jiu Li for short hereinafter) arrived at TISCO recently. Jiuli stated in the letter that TISCO delivered excellent products and service in 2020 for its PDO international project, and spoke highly of the quality and performance of TISCO’s stainless steel material.
PDO is a state-owned petroleum company in Oman, with oil and natural gas output ranking globally top 20. The oil company invested 130 million USD in a pipeline project, which includes 16 shafts for natural gas production. The transmission line for natural gas towards central treatment plant requires duplex stainless steel pipes that own high strength and high corrosion resistance, due to acid property of the natural gas and the fact that the project is located in the desert in Middle East coastal region. In response to the strict requirements in surface quality and geometry of the fundamental material, TISCO duplex stainless steel team, giving full play to coordinative advantage of the production, study, research and application, made concrete effort in aspects of composition recipe, steel purity control, microstructure adjustment, process control and etc., and for the first time developed and applied a new technology that can achieve both high temperature strength and low temperature ductility, so as to become one of a handful qualified suppliers worldwide. Besides, the team established a dedicated organization mechanism and customer service mode, which helped realize the highly efficient production of diversified specification and enabled quick response.
As one of TISCO’s strategic products, the company’s duplex stainless steel has been occupying the biggest market share in China for years, with a full spectrum of product series and a considerable application scale. TISCO is able to deliver duplex stainless steel according to various specification of different countries. It has been certified by classification societies of many countries and international authorities including Shell, BP, NOR-SOK, and etc. Its products has been widely applied in domestic projects, as well as international markets. The PDO duplex stainless steel project is a successful joint cooperation between TISCO and Jiuli in overseas natural gas transmission. The project started from the year of 2012, since then nearly 40,000 tons of duplex stainless steel welding pipe has been delivered to Middle East market under cooperation of TISCO and Jiuli, who together set up a demo for Chinese advanced manufacturing.
The letter is a surprise, as well as a reminder of responsibility, said the head of the TISCO team. For years, the team has been keeping in mind the idea of “creating outstanding quality with stainless wisdom, and making stakeholders satisfied”, seizing opportunities, striving to push forward the sustained progress of the industry. The recognition from customers not only approves the team members’ hard work and achievement, but also consolidates their confidence and faith to further innovation and progress. The team will, keeping in mind the original aspiration and great mission, make greater contribution to TISCO’s ambition of becoming the most competitive player in integrating stainless steel industrial chain, and China Baowu’s initiative of forging a pillar industry for the state.
