BREAKTHROUGH! China Shocks US with World’s Largest 50,000-Ton Vertical Extruder.
China’s journey to technological independence in the steel industry marks a pivotal chapter in its industrial narrative. This video delves into the story behind China’s momentous breakthrough in the production of heavy-duty seamless steel pipes, a feat that has significantly bolstered its capabilities in critical sectors such as thermal and nuclear power generation, submarine pressurized water reactors, and offshore drilling platforms.
Despite being the world’s top steel producer by quantity, China faced substantial hurdles in manufacturing specialized steel materials and large steel forgings independently. The West, including the United States, Japan, and Germany, maintained a tight grip on the technologies essential for producing heavy-duty seamless steel pipes. This technological blockade meant that China, despite its accession to the WTO, remained reliant on importing high-grade steel pipes at exorbitant costs, with prices soaring up to $20,000 per ton.
The reliance on imports posed not just an economic burden but also a strategic vulnerability, threatening China’s rapid growth and efficiency. The turning point came in July 2020, when Hebei Heavy Industry announced the development of the world’s largest 50,000-ton hot extrusion press, shattering previous manufacturing limitations and marking a significant stride towards self-reliance.
The creation of seamless steel pipes, devoid of any seams and crucial for nuclear power plants and other sensitive applications, requires precision and technological prowess. The successful development of a 36,000-ton black metal vertical extrusion press by China North Industries Group Corporation Limited (Norinco) under the “360 Project“ not only exemplified China’s capability to surmount Western technological sanctions but also underscored its commitment to independent research and development.
This documentary-style video explores the challenges and triumphs of China’s journey to break the West’s long-standing technological monopoly in heavy-duty seamless steel pipe production. It highlights the strategic importance of this achievement for China’s energy, defense, and aerospace sectors and its impact on global steel industry dynamics.
Witness the ingenuity, determination, and national pride that powered China’s leap towards technological sovereignty, reshaping the landscape of global manufacturing and industrial innovation. Join us as we uncover the story of ambition, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of progress that led to a breakthrough shaking the foundations of the steel industry worldwide.
