On May 12, HBIS delivered the vanadium-chromium-molybdenum steel customized for a key refining project of Sinopec to the customer, which will be replaced by imports and exclusively used in the production of hot and high-pressure separators. The thickness of the product is 193 mm, the single weight is 46 tons, the thickness and single weight have reached the highest in China, and the technical indicators are at the international leading level.
HBIS insists on promoting the optimization of "two structures" with technological upgrading, gives full play to the leading role of science and technology according to the needs of high-end customers, and continues to develop more "singles champion" products. Set up a professional marketing, technology, quality, production service team to deeply dock with customers, and cooperate to participate in the design and development of manufacturing materials such as thermal and high-pressure separators, key equipment of the project. Constantly innovate and optimize the process design scheme, innovate the alloy component distribution ratio system in the smelting link, innovate the process route in the rolling link, and overcome the industrial technical problems such as easy fluctuations in the internal performance of the steel plate and difficult to control the surface quality in one fell swoop, ensuring that the technical indicators of the trial steel plate are at the international leading level and highly recognized by customers.

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.
