Tangshan Steel's ultra-low carbon steel is exported to countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative for use in the manufacture of key automotive parts

On May 23, a new batch of 3,000 tons of ultra-low carbon steel IFHR2 from Hesteel Group Tangshan Steel Company was loaded, and the products will be shipped to South Africa for the manufacture of key automotive parts. This is the first time that Tangshan's products have entered the South African market after being exported to the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, and other countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative.
IFHR2 is a high-end product developed on the basis of the mature production process of conventional IF steel, after further optimizing the molten steel composition design and improving the stamping and forming performance of the product. It has deep drawing properties such as low yield point and yield strength ratio, high elongation, and high work hardening index. It is widely used in the production of automotive parts and has broad market prospects.
Against the backdrop of increasingly fierce competition in the domestic market, Tangshan Steel has actively seized the market opportunities of the “Belt and Road” initiative, unswervingly taking the high-end product route, aimed at the market demand for automotive plates in the countries participating in the “Belt and Road” initiative, continued to expand the overseas automotive steel market, and focused on improving the profitability of high-end varieties. After learning of the customer's purchasing intention, Tangshan Steel quickly established a production and manufacturing service team composed of personnel from multiple departments to deeply understand the customer's special needs. Relying on the production line equipment and technical advantages, it transformed the customer's personalized requirements for product size, elongation, etc. into high-quality production standards and customized exclusive production plans. During the production process, the service team controlled the alloy element composition with high standards, accurately controlled the key control points, and strictly controlled the product surface quality, ensuring that the ordered products were high-quality and efficient.
