Not long ago, a freight car carrying 18 coils of Pangang X80M steel successfully left the finished products warehouse of Xichang Iron and Vanadium. These products are the materials used in the major project invested in and constructed by **Pipe Network Group** – the \"West-East Gas Pipeline Project, Line 4 (Turpan-Zhongwei)\\". With the successful shipment of this batch of products, Pangang became the first supplier among the 6 steel mills responsible for ensuring supply to deliver its goods.
Starting in March 2017, Panzhihua Iron and Steel began trial production on a scale of 1,000 tons; by 2018 it was capable of producing nearly 20,000 tons per year, and by 2019 it was able to produce nearly 50,000 tons per year while delivering products on time and with high quality. Customers were forced to acknowledge Panzhihua Iron and Steel’s capabilities in research and development, production, and service! The China-Russia East Route natural gas pipeline is the longest-distance natural gas transmission pipeline currently under construction in China, featuring the largest diameter and highest pressure. The production of its raw materials is challenging and requires high technical standards. It is understood that Pangang produced nearly 50,000 tons last year during the hot months of June, July, and August, which further increased the difficulties in ensuring quality and maintaining production schedules; yet Pangang still managed to deliver the products on time, in accordance with the required quality standards.
Pangang wins order for the China-Russia East Pipeline Project. In 2019, it was learned from the Mechanical and Energy Steel Marketing Center of Pangang Group International Economic and Trade Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Pangang International Trade”) that the X80M high-grade pipeline steel produced by Pangang Group Xichang Iron & Vanadium Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Xichang Iron & Vanadium”) was once again selected for the China-Russia East Pipeline Project; an order worth 80,000 tons was successfully placed, setting a new record for sales of this type of steel. Currently, the development of Pangang X80M high-grade pipeline steel is in a phase of brand building and enhancement. Pangang International Trade systematically collects, organizes, and analyzes market information to accurately predict future price trends for hot-rolled coils. It also conducts a thorough and objective assessment of the current status of production equipment, technology, and performance, thereby formulating a bidding proposal for the X80M pipeline steel used in the China-Russia East Route natural gas pipeline project. It also strengthened cooperation with Xichang Steel Vanadium, and ultimately secured an order for 80,000 tons. As one of Pangang’s strategic product lines, pipeline steel has seen Pangang deepen its market presence, seize opportunities, and achieve successive successes; in April of this year, the company received orders for 69,000 tons of heat-resistant L360 pipeline steel and 22,000 tons of steel for oil casing.
Another large-scale long-distance pipeline is in operation! ! The construction drawing design for Line 4 West (Turpan-Zhongwei) has officially commenced! https://bbs.hcbbs.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=3457384 (Source: Huahai Chuanliu – Haichuan Network)
