With the official approval of the Shanxi Provincial Department of Science and Technology, the New Energy Metal Materials Shanxi Laboratory was jointly established by Chalco Shanxi New Material Co., Ltd., as one of the co-establishing units, together with key universities and magnesium industry leaders, aiming to accelerate the transformation of Shanxi's aluminum-magnesium industry into the high-end track of new energy.
As the highest-level innovation platform in the province, the laboratory focuses closely on the demands for lightweight development in NEVs and energy storage, laying out four core research directions: low-carbon smelting, high-performance alloys, precision forming, and solid waste recycling, and striving to build an entire aluminum-magnesium R&D chain system.
Leveraging the most comprehensive resource advantages of the province's entire aluminum industry chain, Chalco Shanxi New Material will fully unleash its industrial strengths in pilot-scale production and mass manufacturing. Joining hands with partner universities and industry leaders, it will concentrate on tackling "bottleneck" technologies in battery substrate materials, lightweight alloys and other fields, drastically shortening the cycle for translating research outcomes into practical applications, and promoting the integrated development of basic research, technological breakthroughs, and industrial implementation.
