The transformation and development of Shougang is closely related to technological progress and product innovation. After many years of painstaking research and accumulation, Shougang’s new product development and process technology studies have shown a trend of profound accumulation: since 2017, two new products have been launched globally and seven domestically. Home appliances, bridge steel, and wheel steel have the largest domestic market share, automotive plates and electrical steel have the second largest domestic share, and tin plates provide full coverage for high-end users. Shougang’s products help the country’s major projects and key projects. This issue of “Five Focus - Monthly Attention” introduces you to Shougang’s two products launched globally and seven domestically. ---by the editor

Reinforced formability dual-phase steel (DH steel for short) has high strength and good ductility, which is conducive to car body manufacturing. It has good energy absorption characteristics in the collision of the car body, which helps to improve the safety of the car and is favored by high-end car users. The high-strength automobile plate has a fine and complex microstructure, and the material design is extremely difficult. In response to the urgent demand of high-end automotive users for high-strength DH steel products, Shougang automotive panel R&D team further carried out high-level DH R&D. The first CR440Y780T-DH-GI galvanized coil in China was successfully launched at Shougang Cold Rolling in May 2017, indicating that Shougang has the serialized R&D and production capabilities of this type of steel.
