On July 23, approved by the Anhui Provincial Market Supervision and Administration Bureau, the Anhui Magnesium-Aluminum Alloy Product Quality Inspection and Testing Center was officially established. The center will be based on the development needs of the new material industry in Chizhou City, focusing on quality inspection, scientific research, and standard formulation and revision of magnesium-aluminum alloy products, providing strong technical support for the high-quality development of the magnesium-based and aluminum-based industries in Chizhou City.
Constructing a high-standard inspection and testing platform. The center relies on the Chizhou Quality Supervision and Inspection Research Institute as its parent organization, and has built a professional laboratory with an area of approximately 3,200 m². It is equipped with 153 sets of high-precision testing equipment, including direct reading spectrometers, atomic absorption spectrometers, and metallographic microscopes. It has the testing capability for four major categories of magnesium-aluminum alloy products, including magnesium-aluminum alloy materials, profile bars and tubes, plate/sheet, strip and foil, and castings. It can accurately test 135 key parameters such as the chemical composition, mechanical properties, and coating performance of magnesium-aluminum alloys.
High-level talents empower technological innovation. The center has established a professional technical team of 17 members, with 70.6% holding intermediate or senior professional titles, providing a solid talent guarantee for technological R&D and quality inspection. It has been approved to establish the 15th batch of provincial-level postdoctoral research workstations, and has established in-depth cooperative relationships with universities such as Chongqing University and Hefei University of Technology. It focuses on the training of high-end talents in the workstations, providing intellectual support for industrial technological innovation.
Industry-university-research collaboration promotes industrial upgrading. The center maintains close cooperation with Chizhou University, Jiangnan Light Alloy Research Institute, and magnesium-aluminum alloy product production and processing enterprises, actively promoting the deep integration of industry, university, and research. As of now, it has initiated three provincial and municipal-level scientific and technological innovation projects, applied for four invention patents, and published seven professional papers, achieving remarkable results in scientific and technological innovation.
Precision services empower enterprise development. The center adheres to the construction concept of "simultaneous construction, research, and inspection", visiting more than 20 magnesium-aluminum-related enterprises and actively aligning with enterprise needs. It has carried out promotions of the inspection and testing capabilities of the magnesium-aluminum quality inspection center, reached cooperation intentions with six enterprises, completed 50 sets of commissioned inspections of magnesium-aluminum alloy products, and provided technical services such as performance testing and personnel training for four enterprises.
