Steel materials for high-end equipment are high-tech products in iron and steel materials. They are aerospace, energy transportation, ocean engineering, automotive lightweighting, environmental protection and other industries and major equipment manufacturing, major engineering construction, strategic emerging industries, and advanced weapons for national defense. The key basic materials needed are of great significance in promoting the sustainable development of the steel industry and safeguarding national industrialization and national defense security.

Whether from the perspective of the level of technological development, the quality of varieties, or the competitiveness of industries, there is still a gap between China's high-end steel materials used in advanced equipment and advanced countries.

First, the steel production process is backward, and the product's independent development capability is weak.

On the whole, China's high-end equipment and iron and steel materials have a relatively low-end structure, and some high-end equipment and core components rely heavily on imported key steel materials. The key technologies are subject to human control. Such as special corrosion-resistant oil well pipes, marine corrosion-resistant steel, high-speed railway axles and bearing steels, high-standard mold steel and other key basic steel products still can not meet the demand, it needs urgent development.

Second, there is not enough convergence between product development and downstream market demand.

The development of key steel materials involves the cooperation between numerous equipment manufacturers and steel producers, universities and research institutes. However, the loose cooperation between Chinese enterprises and the lack of collaborative innovation capabilities have not combined product development with the actual needs of user companies, which has seriously hindered the development of key base steels for high-end equipment.

Most of the iron and steel enterprises in our country have insufficiently high production process control standards and loose production management control indicators, which has caused large fluctuations in the quality of domestic steel products, especially high-quality steel products. In the past 10 years, a group of state-owned large and medium-sized iron and steel enterprises in China have introduced world-class steel production equipment. The overall equipment level of the company has entered the world's advanced ranks. However, the ability of the company's equipment to control is insufficient, and many key production processes are not autonomously controlled. Production technology People lack the ability to innovate, resulting in high-quality equipment that does not produce high-quality products.

Third, the relevant standards cannot meet the requirements for the rapid development of the steel industry. In addition, there are still phenomena of fine management and low level of production, and the level of production technology lags behind the level of equipment.

This is a high level of enterprise equipment, but it can be reflected in the lack of product quality and varieties that are compatible with it.
