Jinchuan Group Successfully Develops GH3625 Alloy Strip for Solar Thermal Power Generation

According to Jinchuan Group Co., Ltd., in response to a significant scientific research project titled "Development and Industrialization of High-Temperature Nickel-Based Alloy GH3625 Strip for Solar Thermal Power Generation," the National Key Laboratory for the Development and Comprehensive Utilization of Nickel-Cobalt Co-Existing Resources has fully utilized its scientific and innovative capabilities. In collaboration with the Nickel Alloy Company, leveraging existing processes and equipment advantages, they have jointly overcome the production difficulties of high-precision GH3625 strips for solar thermal power generation, with product performance fully meeting customer requirements.

The implementation of this project has carried out the import substitution of high-temperature alloy GH3625 for solar thermal power absorbers, achieving a breakthrough in the application of Jinchuan high-temperature alloy GH3625 strips in the field of solar thermal power generation. It has also further promoted the construction of solar thermal power stations in China and enhanced the autonomous guarantee capability of key materials for China's solar thermal power generation.

High-temperature alloy GH3625 is widely used in industries such as petrochemical, marine engineering, food processing, and waste gas treatment, in addition to solar thermal power generation. Through the implementation of this project, Jinchuan Group has further mastered the double and triple melting processes of high-temperature alloy GH3625, as well as the forging and rolling processes, laying a solid foundation for the development of other specifications of GH3625 forgings and plate strips.

Fan Yu, the project leader of the National Key Laboratory for the Development and Comprehensive Utilization of Nickel-Cobalt Co-Existing Resources, said, "Through the development of this project, we have mastered the production process of high-precision GH3625 strips for solar thermal power generation. Last year, we completed a 2-ton GH3625 strip order for the Vice Chairman Unit of the Solar Thermal Alliance - Shouhang High-tech Energy Technology Co., Ltd., and successfully applied it to the absorber of the Dunhuang solar thermal power station. In May of this year, we completed another 6-ton GH3625 strip order for Shouhang High-tech. Next, we will continue to be committed to the research and development and application of high-temperature alloys, carrying out application research on double and triple melting processes and forging and rolling processes of high-temperature alloys, promoting technological progress and industrial upgrading in the field of solar thermal power generation, and contributing more to the development of China's new energy industry."

Baosteel Desheng's 1780mm Hot Rolling Heating Furnace Enriched Oxygen Combustion Technology Renovation Project Successfully Put into Operation

On June 21, the Baosteel Desheng 1780mm hot rolling heating furnace enriched oxygen combustion technology renovation project, designed and equipped by Chongqing Side Thermal Engineering Environmental Protection, was successfully put into operation. It is understood that the project adopted the enriched oxygen combustion invention patent technology independently developed by Chongqing Side Thermal Engineering Environmental Protection. This technology, combined with the production process and energy medium conditions of Baosteel Desheng's heating furnace, proposed an innovative process technology solution. After actual operation verification, the heating furnace system is running well, the operation is more flexible and efficient, providing strong support for Baosteel Desheng's cost reduction and efficiency increase.
