Recently, there have been continuous good news in the field of metallic materials. Many key progresses have been made in products such as Galvalume Steel, Galvanized Steel, Aluminum Coil/Pipe/Plate, Stainless Steel, Aluzinc Steel and Prepainted Steel. Inject strong development impetus into downstream industries such as construction, automobiles and electronics. ​
In terms of technological innovation, major breakthroughs have been made in the manufacturing process of aluminized zinc steel sheets. The brand-new hot-dip galvanizing technology significantly enhances the uniformity of the coating, greatly improves the corrosion resistance of the sheet, effectively extends its service life, and provides more reliable protection for application scenarios such as outdoor construction and industrial facility protection. The field of galvanized steel has also achieved remarkable results. A large steel enterprise has successfully developed high-toughness galvanized steel. While maintaining good anti-rust performance, its tensile strength has increased by 20%, meeting the strict requirements of the automotive manufacturing, mechanical processing and other industries for high-strength and easily formable materials. ​
The aluminium product line is also full of highlights. The advanced aluminum coil rolling process has achieved stable production of thinner specification products. The introduction of precision welding technology in the Aluminum Tube manufacturing process has significantly improved the quality of the tubes and production efficiency. Aluminum sheets are more widely used in high-end fields such as aerospace and rail transportation, and their light weight and high strength help related industries reduce weight and increase efficiency. Take Huafeng Aluminum Industry as an example. The tensile strength of the water-cooled plate material it developed is 40% higher than that of traditional products, successfully overturning the brazing process that has been used in automotive thermal management systems for 30 years. ​
Stainless steel, with its excellent corrosion resistance and high strength, continues to expand its application boundaries. The new stainless steel alloy formula not only enhances acid and alkali resistance but also reduces production costs, attracting greater application in industries such as home appliances and food processing. Aluminized zinc alloy steel has shone brightly in the construction industry. With its outstanding weather resistance, it has become the preferred material for building structures such as roofs and exterior walls. Jiuquan Iron and Steel Group Hongxing Co., Ltd. has successfully achieved batch production of high-end aluminized zinc sheets on the galvanizing Line 1 of the carbon steel thin sheet plant. This product has high added value and is mainly used in the manufacturing of high-end electronic products. Color-coated steel sheets, through innovation in color and coating technology, present a rich variety of visual effects in the field of architectural decoration, meeting the demands of personalized design. ​
At the market level, with the recovery of global infrastructure construction and the vigorous development of the new energy vehicle industry, the demand for various metal materials has continued to rise. The demand for galvanized steel, aluminized zinc steel plates and color-coated steel plates in the construction industry has been steadily increasing. The automotive manufacturing industry has seen a sharp increase in demand for aluminium and high-strength stainless steel due to the rise of new energy vehicles. The electronics industry promotes the application of stainless steel and aluminized zinc sheets in components such as the casings and heat sinks of electronic products. Henan Mingsheng New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. plans to produce 130,000 tons of aluminum materials in the first quarter of this year, an increase of approximately 11% compared with the same period last year. ​
Facing market opportunities and technological changes, metal material enterprises are actively making plans. On the one hand, increase investment in research and development and continuously innovate products and processes; On the other hand, enhance competitiveness through industrial integration and optimizing the supply chain. In the future, driven by technological innovation, the metal materials industry will continuously expand its application fields and lay a solid foundation for the high-quality development of all industries. ​
