Chapter 213 SKF Reemerges, Wants to Dig a Hole for Nanshan
The commissioning of a special steel plant, no matter in any city, is a relatively important event.

Although Nanshan Special Steel Works does not have a blast furnace and is not a full-process steel plant, it is also the largest enterprise that went into operation in 2003 for Shaozhou.

Naturally, leaders at all levels will attend the commissioning ceremony.

And the news quickly spread in the industry.

"Golmo, I heard that Nanshan's bearings are going to switch to their own bearing steel."

"Their sales have already begun to communicate with the procurement of OEMs such as Shanghai Volkswagen and Shanghai General Motors."

"I think this is a good opportunity, a good opportunity to attack Nanshan Bearing."

Xue Wenqiang was still thinking about whether to change jobs to other companies, or even go to Nanshan as a sales manager.

But people don't like him at all.

This made Xue Wenqiang's resentment towards Nanshan a little bit more.

In the past, there were official hatreds, but now there are even personal grievances.

Therefore, he is more active than anyone else in blocking Nanshan.

It seemed that if Nanshan Bearing was not destroyed, he would feel uncomfortable all over.

"When can Nanshan produce bearing steel by itself?"

"Didn't they buy it from Baosteel?"

Holm also has a good understanding of Nanshan.

No way, Nanshan Bearing not only grabs their orders in China, but also grabs a lot of shares in the United States.

Now it has become the number one enemy of SKF in the world.

"Yes, Nanshan's special steel was purchased either from Baosteel or from Xingcheng."

"However, the level of any special steel in Huaxia is like that, and there is no way to meet the demand for high-performance auto parts."

"Nanshan should have also adopted special heat treatment and surface treatment processes to alleviate this problem."

"Imported materials purchased from traders are even used on some high-demand parts."

"Nanshan is probably aware of this, so he invested in the construction of a special steel factory in Shaozhou, Lingnan Province. It is said that Shaogang helped build it."

"It is conceivable how the performance of the special steel produced by this special steel factory will be."

Xue Wenqiang was very excited.

He felt that he had finally found a breakthrough.

What makes people even more happy is that this breakthrough was delivered by Nanshan himself.

"Shaogang?"

"I don't think I've ever heard of it?"

Golmer thinks he is a master of Huaxia, but he has never heard of the name Shaogang after so many years in China.

Nanshan Special Steel was built with the help of Shaogang, and the level should be about the same as Shaogang.

"This is a local steel mill in Lingnan Province. Their bearing steel level can't be compared with ours, even with Baosteel and Xingcheng."

"In this case, they promote material switching, and there will definitely be problems with the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the bearings."

Xue Wenqiang was very sure.

His judgment is also based on his level of China's special steel industry.

Under normal circumstances, there is really no big problem.

However, no matter what the judgment is, it may not be accurate when it encounters Nanshan.

"You keep in touch with the purchases of OEMs like Modu Volkswagen. The best thing is to get samples after switching materials from Nanshan. Let's test and compare them."

"In addition, find a way to find some agents to see if they can buy the bearing steel produced by Nanshan Special Steel Plant. I also ask my colleagues in the technical department to compare and analyze it."

SKF is not only a bearing manufacturer, they are also a special steel manufacturer.

The special steel used in SKF bearings is almost all produced by SKF Special Steel Plant.

Therefore, their technical team has a very deep understanding of special steel.

"No problem, I'll arrange it now!"

"This time, we must let Nanshan take a big fall!"

"It's best to interrupt their pace of expanding the market!"

……

Zheng Dong is a graduate of metallurgical engineering.

Materials majors are originally tiankeng majors for employment.

Graduates majoring in metallurgical engineering used to work in various steel plants.

But this year's steel industry...

So even though he is a 985 graduate, he had no choice when he was recruited by the school last year. He was "wronged" and went to a private company called Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd. by himself.

In his opinion, this is completely out of professionalism.

Although after signing the "Tripartite Employment Agreement", he got to know it well and knew that Nanshan and Shaogang were cooperating to build a special steel factory.

But he is not very optimistic about the prospects of this project.

As a student majoring in metallurgical engineering, he has a good understanding of the domestic steel industry.

Even large iron and steel plants like Baosteel are having a hard time, and the special steel is not very good.

A large amount of special steel needs to be imported from abroad.

Now a manufacturer of auto parts in Nanshan actually wants to build a special steel factory?

If you want to do it, do it. You can find an internationally renowned steel company to cooperate with, but they chose to cooperate with Shaogang.

This……

It's not a waste of money.

Normally, fresh graduates would join the job in July this year, but he was fine in the second half of his senior year, so he came to the company for an internship in advance.

Now it is arranged in the laboratory of Nanshan Special Steel Plant.

Specially responsible for the testing of various projects.

Relatively speaking, the difficulty of this job is not that high, as long as the test is carried out according to the operation process.

Besides, he is not the main engineer, but just helping with chores and collecting some data.

However, when he was summarizing the data today, he always wondered if his "master" had made a mistake.

"Zhang Gong, I think the parameters of this mold steel are a bit strange. This performance is better than the parameters of imported Datong Steel Works, Nippon Steel and Kobe Steel's SKD11."

"Is there some data mixed up?"

Anyway, I am also a graduate student in metallurgical engineering, and I chose the research direction of ferrous metals.

After this period of practice, Zheng Dong still has a good understanding of some properties of special steel.

With the test report in front of him, he could tell something was wrong at a glance.

"You think the data of the mold steel produced in our factory is too good, don't you?"

Zhang Hui glanced at Zheng Dong, and continued without looking at the experimental report: "This product itself is the benchmark SKD11 of Datong. It has high hardness, high wear resistance, uniform eutectic carbide, good toughness, and is not easy to crack. Hardness>62HRC."

“与此同时，在525℃氮化处理时间为20h/30h/60h，氮化层深度0.25mm/0. 30mm/0. 35mm，零件表面硬度1250HV；在570℃氮化处理时间为2h，氮化层深度10~20μm，零件表面硬度950HV。”

"Our mold steel is smelted by electric furnace and remelted by electroslag. It has high purity, better toughness, uniform structure, good high-temperature strength, toughness and high-temperature fatigue resistance, and can withstand sudden temperature changes."

"In this case, the performance is better than that of Japan's imported mold steel, which is within my expectation."

Zhang Hui is the chief engineer recruited by Nanshan from outside to be responsible for setting the process parameters of special steel.

He also had a lot of doubts about the various technological modifications made by Nanshan at that time, and he did a lot of research.

Although the reasons behind the setting of process parameters are not fully understood, theoretically there is no problem with those parameters.

And the final result also proves this point.

So now he can be said to be full of confidence.

"This is also a very big breakthrough for our domestic special steel industry."

"Although if the die steel is seriously studied, whether it is Baosteel or Anshan Iron and Steel, it should not be impossible to produce it."

"But from the actual situation, most of the automobile stamping dies, except the mold base is made of domestic steel, and the insert part is generally made of imported die steel."

"In terms of cost, there's a huge difference."

"According to our preliminary calculations, the cost of our mold steel is more than half cheaper than that of imports."

Zheng Dong suddenly felt that coming to Nanshan seemed like a good choice.

I have witnessed the miracle created by Nanshan Special Steel before I officially joined the company.

Only relying on Nanshan Special Steel can produce mold steel comparable to imported materials, and the future capacity utilization rate will not be low.

After all, Nanshan's mold center now consumes a large amount of special steel every year.

The entire Chinese mold industry has a very strong demand for mold steel.

It is entirely possible for Nanshan Special Steel to quickly gain fame in the industry by using mold steel as a breakthrough point.

"The production cost of the mold steel imported by others is higher than ours. In addition to import tariffs, transportation fees and traders' management fees, it is normal that the cost is twice as expensive as ours."

"Our domestic rebar costs more than 2000 yuan per ton, but imported mold steel can be sold for 50 million yuan per ton."

"It's definitely profiteering."

As an old man in the steel industry, Zhang Hui has a good understanding of the domestic special steel situation.

Regardless of the fact that domestic steel production has reached 4.5 million tons, ranking first in the world, but the profits of the steel industry are probably not as good as Dongying.

"It seems that the company has made full preparations for its decision to invest in a special steel plant."

"Nowadays, the performance of die steel is so good, and the data of bearing steel and gear steel are said to be very good."

"In the future, I really don't have to worry about not being able to sell."

As an intern, Zheng Dong naturally couldn't let him be responsible for too many things.

But even so, he is full of confidence in the future of the special steel plant.

"I also know about bearing steel and gear steel."

"Like bearing steel, even if it is the bearing steel of the standard SKF, we are not bad at all."

"The gear steel is similar, and its performance is comparable to ThyssenKrupp's gear steel."

"It's just barely famous now. After everyone recognizes the technology of Nanshan Special Steel in the future, I'm afraid there will be a situation where supply exceeds demand."

"It may be that the annual profit of the special steel plant is higher than that of the entire Shaogang."

Ninety percent of the personnel in Nanshan Special Steel Works are from Shaogang.

As the largest local enterprise in Shaozhou, Shaogang's treatment is still acceptable.

That's why Zhang Hui compared them like this.

"It's really possible."

"Now that the overall domestic steel production capacity is surplus, the pressure on Shaogang should be quite high."

"However, a lot of special steel needs to be imported from abroad. We replace this part of the imported market. Not only will it not be affected by excess steel production capacity, but we can also obtain high profits."

Zheng Dong couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

According to Nanshan's style, if the factory's efficiency is good, the bonus will be very generous.

He couldn't wait to officially join the job.
