  "During the 13th Five Year Plan period, China's iron and steel industry relies on scientific and technological innovation to lead the high-quality development of the industry, major scientific and technological achievements continue to emerge, and its scientific and technological strength and innovation ability have been significantly enhanced. Scientific and technological innovation has added vitality to the development of China's iron and steel industry, and laid a solid foundation for building a manufacturing power." Recently, Jiang Shangqing, director of science, technology and environmental protection department of China Iron and Steel Industry Association, said in an exclusive interview with reporters.

  Looking back on the 13th five year plan

  The iron and steel industry provides the key material support for Chinese manufacturing

  In May 12th last year, when general secretary Xi Jinping visited Shanxi, he went into TISCO stainless steel precision strip Co., Ltd., which praised and developed the "hand tearing steel" (wide and precision strip steel), which was independently developed and produced by Taiyuan Iron and Steel Co., and aroused great repercussions in the industry. Because of the difficult process and high quality requirements, the core manufacturing technology of "hand tearing steel" has been in the hands of Germany, Japan and other countries. In fact, "hand tearing steel" is only a miniature of the scientific and technological innovation of China's iron and steel industry during the 13th five year plan.

  Looking forward to the 14th five year plan

  Green and intelligent as the core theme, aiming at the key short board

  Jiang Shangqing pointed out that this year is the first year of the 14th five year plan, the iron and steel industry is also standing at a new historical intersection, and scientific and technological innovation has been raised to an unprecedented height. However, in the field of key core technology, the short board of innovation is still outstanding. There are still some problems, such as the lack of original technological achievements, the research on basic theory and industrial financing technology needs to be strengthened, the lack of key technologies of some cutting-edge technologies and core technologies, the serious limitation of resources and energy, and the need for in-depth intellectualization. A batch of urgently needed key high-end products still need to be imported.

  "Especially because of the deep-seated contradictions accumulated by extensive development for a long time, China's iron and steel industry needs to pay more attention to scientific and technological progress in the face of rapid international technological progress and profound changes in the market environment. These are the problems that we must solve in order to achieve high-quality development and move from a big iron and steel country to a powerful iron and steel country. " Jiang Shangqing said.

  Talking about the main tasks and direction of scientific and technological innovation of China's iron and steel industry during the "14th five year plan", Jiang Shangqing believes that, in terms of innovation, China's iron and steel industry should be able to lead the scientific and technological development trend of the world's iron and steel industry, develop advanced products, guarantee the development needs of downstream industries, maintain the sustainable development ability of the iron and steel industry, and make contributions to the development of China and the world He made an irreplaceable contribution. This requires us to take self-control as the strategic starting point, green and intelligent as the core theme, aim at the key short board, build an innovation ecosystem, and take the road of scientific and technological innovation.
