Ten years of rapid development in chemical processing equipment – praise for China’s prosperity and strength. This is just a starting point; more participation will make things even more lively. HaiChuan becomes even better with you all here; we welcome everyone to join in the forum discussions. Happy May Day! Safe and secure Red May ********************************************* 100% market share in the domestic market! Taigang has supplied 900 tons of stainless steel designed for liquid hydrogen use. Recently, Taigang completed the delivery of a batch of such stainless steel ordered for the construction of a key hydrogen energy project in China. This is another instance of supplying a key domestic hydrogen energy project, following the mass release of this product onto the market last year and its selection for one of Asia’s largest hydrogen energy projects; it plays a significant role in promoting the development of China’s hydrogen energy industry. As an excellent method for storing and transporting hydrogen on a large scale, liquid hydrogen can effectively address the issue of regional imbalances in hydrogen resources. Currently, developed countries primarily use liquid hydrogen for storage and transportation. However, in the past, due to insufficient research in China on the low-temperature structure and properties of materials in liquid hydrogen environments, there was a lack of theoretical support and unified standards for material selection; as a result, liquid hydrogen in China is mainly used in the aerospace sector, with almost no application in civilian fields. To date, Taiyuan Iron and Steel has supplied a total of 900 tons of stainless steel designed for liquid hydrogen use. It has established partnerships with all the industry leaders and key companies, achieving full coverage in the domestic market; its market share in this sector is 100%. This time, in order to address issues such as the low yield rate of medium and thick plates of this steel grade and prolonged delivery times in the past, Taiyuan Iron and Steel’s Technology Center and production facilities worked together to intensify technical efforts, optimize the processing parameters, and make full use of the advantages of their equipment, thereby achieving stable production of ultra-wide steel plates. To address the main challenges in the manufacturing process, the range of control for chemical composition was adjusted, requirements for stability coefficients were added, and low-temperature impact resistance tests were introduced. The final contract was delivered successfully and received positive feedback from the client.

Recently, Taiyuan Iron and Steel Group launched in China its first stainless steel products designed for liquid hydrogen, which have passed the relevant certifications. This has made the company the sole supplier of such products in the country. It has signed bulk orders with the world’s largest hydrogen producer as well as leading companies in the field of hydrogen infrastructure, and these products are being used in one of Asia’s largest hydrogen energy projects. The development of special stainless steels for liquid hydrogen by Taiyuan Iron and Steel Company has successfully filled the gap in domestic stainless steels used for liquid hydrogen pressure vessels in civilian applications, and has contributed to the establishment and improvement of relevant material standards in China.
Taigang entered the hydrogen energy sector early on, collaborating with **relevant departments and manufacturing companies to actively participate in the design and development of materials, as well as to promote the establishment of standards for such materials. In October 2021, all of Taiyuan Iron and Steel’s stainless steel products designed for liquid hydrogen use passed the relevant certifications, making the company the only domestic supplier of such stainless steel materials in this field. This filled a gap in China’s domestic market for civil liquid hydrogen storage tanks, resolving a critical bottleneck issue. The chemical composition and ultra-low temperature performance of these products meet all the stringent requirements of liquid hydrogen environments. To date, Taiyuan Iron and Steel has supplied a total of 900 tons of stainless steel designed for liquid hydrogen use. It has established partnerships with all the industry leaders and key companies, achieving full coverage in the domestic market; its market share in this sector is 100%.

To address the main challenges in the manufacturing process, the range of control for chemical composition was adjusted, requirements for stability coefficients were added, and low-temperature impact resistance tests were introduced. The final contract was delivered successfully and received positive feedback from the client. By keeping a close eye on the policies regarding hydrogen energy development, Taiyuan Iron and Steel Company will continue to promote the use of liquid hydrogen and specialized stainless steel products in applications such as liquid hydrogen transmission pipelines, rail applications, and ship storage tanks. It will also actively expand its overseas business operations, contributing to the green transformation and upgrading of China’s energy sector through the efforts of Taiyuan Iron and Steel Company.
