China took the lead in developing a third-generation automotive steel that significantly reduces vehicle weight

Under the strong support of the Ministry of Science and Technology's 973 project, China Steel Research and Technology Group Co., Ltd. cooperated with Taiyuan Iron & Steel Co., Ltd. and successfully developed a third generation of automobile steel hot-rolled coils and cold-rolled plates in industrial production processes, marking the first time in China. Internationally developed industrial production technologies for third-generation automotive steel products.

According to reports, with the continuous improvement of the requirements for vehicle weight reduction and crashworthiness safety, automotive steel has developed toward high strength and high plasticity. Automobile steel is a high-end product in steel products. It is an important symbol of the technical level of a country's steel industry. Countries attach great importance to the research and development of automotive steel.

Experts pointed out that the application of the third-generation automotive steel will significantly reduce the weight of the car and improve the collision safety. This achievement has fundamentally changed the passive situation of China's long-term tracking of foreign automobile steel technology, created a new situation in automotive steel technology innovation, promoted the upgrading of iron and steel enterprise technology and products, and transformed China’s transition from a big steel country to a strong steel country. Provides strong technical support.
