Recently, a batch of 340mm thick Q500D-Z35 hydropower steel plates developed and produced by Wugang Company were successfully delivered to customers, which will be used in the construction of key parts of the national key hydropower project - Yuanqu Pumped Storage Power Station. This batch of products has achieved a major breakthrough in thickness specifications and performance characteristics, providing a solid material guarantee for the construction of key parts of large-scale hydropower projects in our country, and has been praised by users.
Q500D-Z35 hydropower steel is a high-strength, high-toughness material with excellent tensile strength, yield strength, good low-temperature impact toughness and layered tear resistance. The successful development of 340mm thickness specification products enables it to accurately adapt to key parts such as turbine runner chambers, dams, and spillways in large hydropower stations, which have strict requirements for steel size and performance. This not only effectively improves the bearing capacity of the engineering structure, but also provides a reliable guarantee for the long-term safe and stable operation of the project.
Wugang adheres to the concept of innovation-driven development and continues to make efforts around the R&D and production of high-end thick steel plate materials. In the process of product development and production, in order to overcome the internal quality defects and performance fluctuations that are prone to occur in large-thickness hydropower steel, the technical team of Wugang Company and the production unit set up a special research team to strictly control the composition and optimize the alloy ratio in the smelting process to ensure the purity and uniformity of molten steel; In the rolling process, special technology is innovatively adopted to promote the uniform refinement of the internal structure of the steel; In the heat treatment stage, the process parameters are optimized to ensure the strength of the steel and have good toughness. In the end, the 340mm thick Q500D-Z35 hydropower steel produced by Wugang Company successfully passed the flaw detection, tensile and impact tests, and all indicators reached or exceeded the national standards, ensuring the high-quality delivery of the products.
Yuanqu Pumped Storage Power Station is a key construction project in the 13th Five-Year Plan for national hydropower development and a key pilot project for the comprehensive reform of Shanxi's energy revolution, with an installed capacity of 1.2 million kilowatts. The successful application of 340mm thick Q500D-Z35 hydropower steel is another landmark achievement made by Wugang Company in the field of hydropower steel. In the future, Wugang will continue to strengthen R&D and innovation, further optimize product quality and performance, continue to supply high-performance steel materials for major national projects, and give back to user needs with better products and services.
