Tsingshan Group’s annual sales of high-strength stainless steel have reached nearly 400,000 tons, according to Dr. Laizhu Jiang, President for Research and Development Centre at Tsingtuo Group. As more manufacturers in China follow, the application of these stainless steels is expected to grow in the whole industry.

Tsingshan’s nitrogen-containing QN and QD series offer high strength and corrosion resistance at a lower cost by reducing nickel and molybdenum content. Despite traditional challenges in formability, these steels are now used in Maersk containers, Midea dishwashers, and Li Auto fuel tanks.

Dr. Laizhu Jiang said Tsingshan focuses on affordable, durable, and sustainable stainless steel through collaborative innovation, contributing to the high-quality development, green and low-carbon development of the stainless steel industry.
