Recently, the results of the 2022 Metallurgical Science and Technology Award were officially announced to the public. The project "Basic Research and Engineering Application of Nanophase Deep Hydrogen Traps in High Strength and Tough Steels" jointly carried out by Wuhan Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd. and Beijing University of Science and Technology was listed, and won the first prize of the 2022 Metallurgical Science and Technology Award of China Iron and Steel Industry Association and China Metallurgical Society. The development and application of this technology has laid a solid technical foundation for Wugang to further expand the development and promotion of large thickness offshore engineering, hydrogen storage tanks and related hydrogen crack resistant steels.
It is reported that the Metallurgical Science and Technology Award is the highest science and technology award in the iron and steel industry jointly established by the China Iron and Steel Industry Association and the China Metallurgical Society and officially approved by the Ministry of Science and Technology of the People's Republic of China. It aims to promote scientific and technological progress and innovation in the metallurgical industry, and encourage the use of scientific and technological forces to promote the development of the metallurgical industry. It is reviewed and awarded once a year.
In recent years, according to the overall arrangement of the Group, Wugang has firmly focused on technological progress and scientific and technological innovation, vigorously implemented the strategy of revitalizing enterprises through science and technology, increased cooperation in production, teaching, research and application, actively undertaken major national and industrial needs and key generic technology research, promoted the effective transformation of major scientific research achievements in the production line, and constantly promoted technological progress in the industry. The award of this honor has become another great achievement of the cooperation between production, teaching, research and application in Wugang.

Wugang Company’s project, “Development and Application of Key Technologies for High-Strength, Tough, Extra-Thick Steel Plates for Marine Equipment,” has been awarded the Special Prize of the 2026 Metallurgical Science and Technology Award.

Recently, the results of the 2026 Metallurgical Science and Technology Awards were announced. The project “Development and Application of Key Technologies for High-Strength, Tough, Extra-Thick Steel Plates for Marine Equipment,” jointly submitted by Wugang Company and Northeastern University, was awarded the Grand Prize, marking a major breakthrough for China in the field of critical materials for marine engineering. After ten years of intensive research and sustained efforts, the project has successfully overcome the challenges in producing high-strength, tough, extra-thick steel plates—materials essential for building such national strategic assets as ultra-large deepwater drilling platforms, massive wind‑farm installation vessels, and 10,000‑meter‑class submersibles.
