Baosteel succeeds in nanotechnology trials

It is reported that the metal surface organization nanotechnology reconstruction project which is led by Baosteel and ranked into national high tech plan has made significant progress.

Metal roller to be nanotechnology on surface can comprehensively utilize nano material’s high hardness and coarse crystal’s high plastic to significantly improve the roller’s wear resistance and anti fatigue life.

Since 2000, scholars at home and abroad have proposed various methods of making nano metal but most of them are remain in the basic research stage. Through many rounds of production industrial test, the key technology, equipment operation and the production performance all have reached the desired objectives, the hardness, wear resistance, and fatigue life of the roller of surface nanotechnology have been greatly improved.

It marked that Baosteel becomes the world’s first steel enterprise that has the level of trial on the surface of nanotechnology.
