Weathering steel exhibits characteristics of low-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and good weldability, and is widely used in containers, vehicles, and railway engineering. With the increasing demand for this product in the railway transportation industry, its market prospects have become increasingly broad.

Since the beginning of this year, the company has achieved a series of technological breakthroughs and formulated research measures based on studies of the production line. It has also refined rolling processes, optimized operating parameters, enhanced equipment functional accuracy, and continuously surpassed the limit of rolling thickness.

Through close cooperation with professional technicians and multiple small-scale experiments, the company successfully produced extremely thin, hot-rolled, high-strength, weather-resistant steel plates, laying a solid foundation for secure and stable supplies and enhanced market competitiveness.
