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

The chemical ship marine high-strength A500+S31803 dual-phase stainless steel composite plate developed by Shougang is supplied to the market and achieves domestic launch.
       With good corrosion resistance and high strength, dual-phase stainless steel is the material favored for the interior walls of liquid chemical cargo holds. The dual-phase stainless steel composite plates are increasingly favored by shipyards as it boasts the corrosion resistance of dual-phase stainless steel and the strength of carbon steel and can significantly reduce construction costs. The R&D team combines the high-strength feature of dual-phase stainless steel and adopts the composite design of A500+2205 to conduct targeted technical pre-research and reserve. After repeated tests by the R&D team, the process is repeatedly explored and verified, and one trial is successful.
