On June 18, Shanghai Dragon TV’s “Future Invitation Letter” program specially invited to interview Ding Wenjiang, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, director of the National Engineering Research Center for Light Alloy Precision Forming, director of the Shanghai Key Laboratory of Hydrogen Science, President and Deputy Party Committee of Baosteel Metal Co., Ltd. Secretary Qi Weidong, the theme of the interview is: China’s “magnesium” goes to the world.
In the interview, Academician Ding Wenjiang said that any material has its own personality, and the personality of magnesium materials can be brought into full play. The better it is, the more effective the research and development of materials will be. One of the most fundamental things about the combination of production, education and research is to focus the power of research and the power of industry and engineering on one point, so that the industry can have a driving force. Academician Ding revealed, “We are exploring the application of magnesium’s sensing function in hydrogen sensors and artificial intelligence. Magnesium still has unlimited potential to be tapped. In addition to lightweight, magnesium has applications in human health, energy, agriculture, etc. All have great potential, and now China’s magnesium research and development is already “magnesium waves rolling.” It can be said that in the field of magnesium material research and development, China is already in a leading position in the world.”
Qi Weidong said that Baowu’s vision is to become a leader in the field of iron and steel and advanced materials. Magnesium is an indispensable member of advanced materials. Therefore, the Group entrusts the task of building China’s magnesium industry to Baosteel Metal, a subsidiary of the Group. In addition, from the perspective of enterprises, in order to make the magnesium industry develop healthily, it is necessary to improve the technical level of magnesium smelting. The company is now researching and developing green and low-carbon magnesium smelting methods, striving to halve energy consumption and emissions, and is expected to achieve unmanned production. It is believed that these will be completed during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, becoming a subversive progress in the magnesium industry, and promoting new technologies in the industry.
