The fragrant river flows endlessly, and the Bauhinia flowers are always in full bloom. It has been 20 and 5 years since Hong Kong's return to the motherland, 25 years of wind and rain, 25 years of spring and autumn fruits. With the closer exchanges and cooperation between the mainland and Hong Kong in various fields, the "Pearl of the East" is blooming with dazzling Chinese Red everywhere, and Chinese elements are blooming everywhere in Hong Kong, a land where Chinese and Western cultures blend. As a platform company for the integrated operation of Baowu stainless steel industry in China, TISCO group is actively developing high-performance stainless steel materials, helping the construction of Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge project and Hong Kong urban line subway vehicle project, and pouring stainless wisdom and strength into the development of Hong Kong.
Mount Everest, a bridge in China
As the "backbone" of the interconnection between Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao in the Greater Bay area, the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge has effectively opened up the "Ren Du two channels" of the internal transportation network in the bay area, promoted the efficient flow and allocation of innovative elements such as people flow, logistics, capital flow and technology flow, and made great contributions to the high-quality development of Hong Kong.
The Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge has a design life of 120 years, a total length of 50 kilometers, a cross sea part of 35 kilometers, and an earthquake resistance rating of 8. It is known as the "Mount Everest" in the bridge industry. Stainless steel bars with light weight, high strength, fatigue resistance, corrosion resistance and long service life are required. In order to meet the high-performance requirements, TISCO researchers adhere to the original intention of serving the country with steel, being strict and refined, adjusting parameters and repeated tests. Through unremitting efforts, the stainless steel reinforcement developed has passed the British cares certification. In the competition of many internationally renowned stainless steel enterprises in Taiwan, the duplex stainless steel reinforcement independently developed by TISCO successfully won the bid for the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge project and completed the delivery of more than 10000 tons of high-quality products on time.
"Recalling the research and development process, I can see clearly now that there is nothing to learn from the process, parameters and equipment. We can only rely on ourselves, but innovation is to do what others did not do, and we have to do better. We did it." Wang Huimian, senior chief stainless steel rod and wire developer of the technology center, said frankly that "it has been 25 years since Hong Kong's return to the motherland, and 25 years can be learned from the spring and Autumn period. It is the pride and pride of my life that the products we developed can be used on the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge".
Actively integrate into MTR culture
Since returning to the motherland in 1997 for 25 years, with the continuous economic growth, the population has increased by nearly one million, the population density is one of the highest regions in the world, and the demand for public transport is increasing. As an important public transport tool for citizens to travel, Hong Kong subway extends in all directions and has become a cultural carrier.
After the handover of Hong Kong, the domestic lightweight stainless steel metro train produced by CRRC has been used for many times in Hong Kong Metro. The maximum operating speed of this model is 80 kilometers per hour, and its body strength, noise control and fire protection performance have reached world-class levels. TISCO, as the first enterprise in China to develop and produce stainless steel materials for passenger cars, is the main supplier of CRRC. In view of the special needs of MTR for the shape, surface and product stability of materials, the members of the production, study and research team of stainless steel materials for TISCO passenger cars worked together to discuss, develop solutions, and take practical measures to ensure that the product quality and safety meet the technical requirements of the contract.
"On the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland, I wish Hong Kong a better tomorrow." Mo Jinqiang, a new energy stainless steel researcher at the technology center, said, "our products have been used in Hong Kong Metro for many times to provide support for the development of Hong Kong rail transit, which is the biggest reward for researchers. In the future, we will continue to aim at the cutting-edge technology of the industry, focus on the further improvement of stainless steel process quality, strengthen the application and development of stainless steel body materials, and contribute to improving the competitiveness of stainless steel materials for TISCO passenger cars in the international market.".
During the "14th five year plan" period, in accordance with the strategic policy of "facing the world's scientific and technological frontier, the main battlefield of the economy, the major needs of the country, and the health of people's lives", TISCO will rely on major scientific and technological tasks and major projects, adhere to the guidance of high technology, increase the research of mission products and key core technologies, carry out the development of low-carbon metallurgical technology, realize green manufacturing, and expand the market share of characteristic high-end stainless steel, Actively contribute to scientific and technological innovation for the construction of Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay area.
