OREANDA-NEWS.  April 12, 2013. In order to deal with the fierce market competition, TISCO makes full use of the technological innovation and places the R&D of the “blue ocean products” as the priority. In 2012, through the efforts of the research personnel in Technology Center, a number of self-developed high-end products fill the gaps in the market; the market of TISCO stainless steel “blue ocean products” is widened.
 
In recent years, the research personnel in Technology Center gives full play of the advantages of the SBU and the new equipment in TISCO, makes the development of ultra-pure ferrite stainless steel rapidly grow. In 2012, the output of ultra-pure ferrite stainless steels exceeded 100000 ton for the first time and their market share in China ranked first. In 2012, the application fields of a batch of new products were expanded: economic type stainless steels were batch used in gas transportation system in coal mining industry, super austenitic stainless steel 904L was batch used in pressured vessel industry and the heat resistant stainless steel was used in rotary kilns for the first time. Some of the new products were adopted by national key projects.

The duplex stainless steel rebar successfully developed by TISCO has been certified by CARES and used in Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge project. The extruded C shaped stainless steel section was used in the third generation nuclear power demonstration project in China—Zhejiang Sanmen Nuclear Power Project. The products and new grades are constantly developed, new application fields are widened. The new products produced by TISCO’s Precision Strip Co, Ltd. were used in iPhone 5, some of new products were batch used in compressor and auto spare parts industries.
 
In order to provide support and guarantee for the R&D and speed up the development, Technology Center gave the full play of the advantages of the pilot plant and guaranteed one heat of steel was produced per day. The steelmaking quantity of the year increased by 80% compared with previous year. At the same time, Technology Center set up the R&D platform for every research personnel and laid solid foundation for the development of high-end stainless steel products.
