By adding a certain amount of heavy rare earth elements, the temperature resistance grade of a 3 × 2 cm rare earth permanent magnet can reach 150 ℃, but the amount of heavy rare earth can be reduced from more than 4% to 1% 2%. Such 100 pieces of rare earth permanent magnets, about 2 to 4 kilograms, can form a permanent magnet motor for new energy vehicles.

"magnets have temperature resistance requirements, and the higher the temperature resistance grade, the higher the amount of heavy rare earths. With each increase in temperature resistance, the cost will increase by 20% to 30%. " Dong Yi, deputy general manager and chief engineer of Baotoutianhe Magnetic Materials Technology Co., Ltd., said that through heavy rare earth diffusion technology and unique raw material ratio of products, the NdFeB rare earth permanent magnets put off in batches by the enterprise have reliable product stability and strong anti-demagnetization ability. highly favored by the market. This year, orders from new energy vehicle companies have increased sharply, opening up a new way for the transformation and development of enterprises.

With our own efforts, we will stimulate the vitality of global innovation and create more high-level science and technology supply. In recent years, the main body of innovation, represented by Tianhe Magnetic Materials, is based on industrial advantages, aiming at development obstacles and bottlenecks, starting from source innovation, implementing the whole process of technological transformation, and constantly promoting the strong development of the "three characteristic industries" of rare earths, non-ferrous metals and high-end equipment manufacturing in Baotou rare Earth High-tech Zone in Inner Mongolia.

Innovation leads to promote the modernization level of characteristic industries

When spring returns to the earth, everything is renewed. On the production line of extremely thin oriented silicon steel strip of Baotou Weifeng rare Earth electromagnetic material Co., Ltd., the infiltration of "scientific and technological spring breeze" is deducing the legend of "hundred steelmaking" turning into "soft around fingers". Promote the enterprise extremely thin-oriented silicon steel products into the industry "head".

How thin can copper wire be? In the Hope Industrial Park of Baotou rare Earth High-tech Zone, Baotou Zhenxiong Copper Co., Ltd. gave a startling answer: 0.016 mm in diameter, equivalent to 1x7 of a hair.

In the Zhenxiong copper production workshop, more than 300 wire drawing machines and more than 400 workers are working in an orderly manner. At present, the enterprise has formed a copper processing industry chain ranging from copper smelting to copper conductor deep processing of 100000 tons per year, and has built a copper deep processing base with an annual output value of 10 billion yuan.

Create characteristic industrial clusters to promote high-quality economic development. Since the beginning of this year, Baotou rare Earth High-tech Zone has transformed industrial development into the biggest driving force to promote high-quality economic development, centering on the "one industry, one policy" three-year action plan, adhere to the principle of "regional economic characteristics, characteristic economic industrialization, industrial economic clustering", and speed up the construction of a modern industrial system with diversified development and multi-pole support.

Baotou rare earth industry adheres to the development idea of "2mm 2n", improves the scale and quality of the "five major industrial chains" of permanent magnet, hydrogen storage, polishing, catalysis and alloy, and strives to increase its annual output value by more than 30% compared with the same period last year, and build a 100 billion rare earth industrial cluster.

Baotou rare Earth High-tech Zone speeds up the upgrading of the industry level of non-ferrous materials and vigorously develops all kinds of profiles downstream of aluminum and copper. We will focus on promoting the construction of projects such as 100000 tons of electrolytic copper and 100000 tons of recycled aluminum in Huading Copper Industry, with an estimated new output value of more than 10 billion yuan, so as to build a national advanced new material base for aluminum and copper industry.

Baotou rare Earth High-tech Zone vigorously develops mining construction machinery, wind power equipment, railway equipment and other key equipment manufacturing industries, promotes the construction of projects such as Jinfeng Technology, Shanghai Electric Wind Power Group, and CRRC Motor, and creates more than 10 leading products. Promote the competitiveness of products in advantageous areas into the leading ranks of the country.

In the first two months of this year, the three characteristic industries of Baotou rare Earth High-tech Zone had a strong momentum of development. the added value of industries above scale increased by 52.1% over the same period last year, accounting for 85.5% of the added value of industries above scale. Among them, the rare earth, aluminum and copper, and high-end equipment manufacturing industries increased by 101.3%, 11.2% and 109.1% respectively compared with the same period last year.

Policy escort to promote the industry to a high-end

In 2022, Inner Mongolia North heavy truck Co., Ltd. frequently spread the good news: the procurement project of TR100A mining vehicles in three bidding sections, including the Railway Seventh Bureau, with a total amount of nearly 300 million yuan; and the maintenance project of 100-ton transport equipment of Shenhua Nortel Shengli Energy Co., Ltd. of the national energy group, which undertakes the daily maintenance of 48 sets of 100-ton mining transportation equipment.

With Qiangji project as the starting point, Northern shares made every effort to get rid of the "jam" situation and carried out reverse engineering research on imported electric drive system products in conjunction with domestic leading enterprises such as CRRC and Harbin Power Group, as well as relevant colleges and universities. we have successfully achieved a technological breakthrough in the self-controllable core components of 220 tons, 236 tons and 330 tons of electric wheels.

In Inner Mongolia Xinyu rare Earth functional Materials Co., Ltd., in the thousands of square meters of fully automatic high purity rare earth purification workshop, only one technician is routinely inspecting, and this scene of "turning off the lights" has become the norm here.

"with the strong support of Baotou rare Earth High-tech Zone, enterprises have invested nearly 100 million yuan, increased scientific and technological innovation, made breakthroughs in the field of high-purity rare earths and rare earth polishing, and the technical level of their products can be comparable to that of the rest of the world." Ji Daiyu, chairman of the company, said confidently.

In recent years, in order to enhance the market competitiveness of enterprises stationed in the zone, how to promote the transformation and upgrading of enterprises in Baotou rare Earth High-tech Zone? "it is mainly policy protection." Zhang Yanping, head of rare Earth Industry Base Management Section of Baotou rare Earth High-tech Zone rare Earth and High-tech Industry Bureau, said. In the past three years, with the strong support of the Baotou municipal party committee and municipal government, Baotou rare earth high-tech zone has accumulated more than 3 billion yuan of funds for the rare earth industry alone.

At the same time, Baotou rare Earth High-tech Zone makes good use of industrial policies such as "some policies for speeding up the Transformation and upgrading of rare Earth Industry in Inner Mongolia Autonomous region" and "some measures for speeding up the introduction and cultivation of High-end talents in key Industries" in Baotou rare Earth High-tech Zone. Through the science and technology plan organization system of "government guidance + enterprise main body + social participation", and the efficient promotion mode of "professional guidance + high-quality declaration + rewards and subsidy funds". Constantly stimulate the vitality and motivation of scientific and technological innovation of enterprises, and lay a solid foundation for the cluster development of characteristic industries.
