What is batch annealing process? Batch annealing is an advanced process in which metal materials are heat-treated by precisely controlling the temperature and protective atmosphere in a sealed bell jar. The material is heated to a specified temperature in an oxygen-free environment, kept warm, and then slowly cooled. The entire process usually takes tens to hundreds of hours. Five core advantages  No oxidation on the surface: the protective atmosphere environment ensures that the surface of the material is smooth and clean, with no oxidized decarburization. Super uniform temperature: closed heating to ensure that the temperature of the entire batch of material is consistent, stable product performance. Controllable process: automated control system, precise parameters, reliable quality. Full coverage of specifications: from thin plates to thick plates, various specifications of materials can be processed. Energy saving and environmental protection: Compared with the traditional process, energy consumption is reduced by 20% and emissions by 30%. Application areas  is mainly used for the production of high-quality cold-rolled steel plate, electrical steel sheet, stainless steel plate and other precision materials, widely serving the automotive, home appliances, precision instruments and other high-end manufacturing industries.

The three core elements of the low-carbon transformation of steel: LCA is a synergistic link in the industry chain  Covering the whole chain from mining to downstream, forcing cross-industry collaboration to reduce emissions (e.g., optimizing ore mining), and upgrading from a “compliance tool” to a “strategic compass”. Green premiums need to be cracked in multiple dimensions  Low carbon technology increases costs by 2-3 times, breaking the ice: High-end market: incorporate brand premium (e.g. Porsche model); Policy regulation: carbon tax and other mechanisms to balance long-term costs; Consumer recognition: cultivate the sense of responsibility (e.g. 60% penetration rate of organic food in Europe). The responsibility of the industry chain must be shared.    Environmental protection needs to be integrated with carbon/water/pollution and other indicators, material innovation to address downstream pain points, curb overconsumption, and strengthen the sense of “choice is responsibility”. Expert insights: Finkbeiner: “LCA is a common language with customers, and environmental protection relies on value recognition rather than fear-mongering.” Broadbent: “LCA is more important than single-point technologies.” Hafner: “Society pays the environmental price if it doesn't pay for green.” Ultimate logic: use LCA to open up the industrial chain, share the premium with “value + policy”, and realize systematic carbon reduction by sharing the responsibility.

Tangshan Hongsheng Steel will launch the new Zinc Aluminum Magnesium (ZAM) product line into production. This breakthrough technology will bring customers 2-4 times higher corrosion resistance than traditional galvanized products. Triple metal alloy, comprehensive upgrade of protection  Our zinc-aluminum-magnesium galvanizing technology forms a powerful protection system through the synergistic action of three metals: zinc, aluminum and magnesium. Zinc provides cathodic protection, aluminum forms a dense oxidized layer, and magnesium gives the coating the ability to self-heal and repair even minor scratches on the surface. Widely used and recognized in the market  products have been successfully applied in the fields of architectural roofing, automobile body, household appliance shells, etc. The feedback from the customers unanimously agreed that its processing performance is excellent and it can withstand all kinds of molding processes without cracking and peeling. Green, Economical and Practical  Although the initial investment is a little high, the excellent durability of the product significantly reduces the maintenance cost.
