[SMM Stainless Steel Flash] Xinfeng Special Steel’s Phase II Bright Annealing Line Successfully Produces First Coil

On February 8, the 6# line of the Phase II Bright Annealing (BA) unit at Xinfeng Special Steel’s cold continuous rolling stainless steel project successfully produced its first coil, with the 304-series material meeting qualification standards on its initial run. General contracted by WISDRI (South China) Thermal Engineering, the Phase II project utilizes a domestic-first four-stage horizontal bright annealing unit design, featuring the longest muffle and largest TV (Tension-Velocity) capacity in China. As a key component of Xinfeng’s strategy to build a green, intelligent factory, the line reached production capacity immediately upon commissioning and is currently undergoing further optimization and debugging to produce high-grade BA plates and tube-making stock.

[SMM Stainless Steel Flash] TISCO’s Self-Developed SUS630 Stainless Steel Plates Break Import Monopoly in PCB Sector

According to TISCO (Shanxi Taigang), its independently developed SUS630 precipitation-hardening stainless steel cold-rolled plates are now being supplied steadily to domestic Printed Circuit Board (PCB) manufacturers. Throughout the recent holiday period, the company's R&D and production teams maintained strict quality control to ensure the material meets the rigorous standards required for 5G communications, automotive electronics, and medical devices. As a core material for the hot lamination process in PCB manufacturing, SUS630 was long dependent on foreign imports; however, TISCO has now become the only stable domestic supplier, successfully breaking the technical blockade.
