Recently, BYD's Yangwang Auto announced that the Yangwang U9 engineering test vehicle achieved a top speed of 472.41 km/h at Germany's ATP test track, breaking the global electric vehicle speed record. This milestone marks the first time a Chinese independent brand has claimed the world title in this field. This super electric sports car is equipped with Shougang Group's 0.1mm non-oriented electrical steel. The record-breaking achievement not only showcased China's speed to the world once again but also demonstrated the formidable capabilities of China's high-end electrical steel materials. The Yangwang U9 engineering test vehicle features the world's first 30,000 rpm high-performance motor. To overcome the limitations of electrical steel materials on motor energy consumption, it utilizes Shougang Group's 0.1mm ultra-low iron loss electrical steel. Compared to the widely used 0.2mm electrical steel in the industry, the 1000Hz iron loss is reduced by 39%. This product combines excellent characteristics of low iron loss, high magnetic induction, and high strength, providing robust material empowerment for high-grade, high-performance main drive motors.

[SMM Steel] Vietnam Steel Prices Hold Steady as Weak Demand Limits Recovery

[Vietnam] Vietnam’s steel market remained relatively stable on August 21, with domestic construction steel prices ranging from USD 526–576/t, equivalent to around 531 USD/tonne EXW, while HRC prices stood at approximately 515–522 USD/tonne CFR Ho Chi Minh City. Despite higher input costs, particularly for coking coal, steel and iron ore prices continue to face pressure from weak downstream demand. The prolonged downturn in China’s property sector, a major source of global steel consumption, continues to weigh on international demand and profit margins, prompting some mills to reduce production to limit losses. The weak demand outlook is expected to remain a key barrier to a sustained recovery in steel prices in the near term.
