en.Wedoany.com Reported - China's supply capacity for high-end steel continues to strengthen, with a batch of specialty steels for fields such as new energy vehicles and robotics emerging rapidly, providing foundational material support for the development of emerging industries.

The newly developed "Cicada Wing Steel" is as small and flexible as a stamp, yet made of steel, with the thinnest version measuring only 0.07 millimeters, equivalent to the diameter of a human hair.

From steel used in nuclear power to tinplate with a 50% improvement in ductility, Chinese steel enterprises have achieved continuous breakthroughs in R&D and innovation this year, launching six core steel products globally for the first time. The self-sufficiency rate for high-end steel used in fields such as robot motors and submarine pipelines has approached 100%, marking significant progress in industry structure optimization.

The ability to achieve "customized" transformation stems from China's comprehensive shift of the steel industry toward intelligence, green development, and integration. Currently, three steel companies have been selected as global "Lighthouse Factories," with a total of 36 "Excellent-level" smart factories and 2 "Pioneer-level" smart factories cultivated. The numerical control rate of key processes has reached 86%, driving rapid development of high-end manufacturing capabilities and continuously enhancing the resilience of the industrial chain and supply chain.
