Development status and prospect analysis of metallurgical industry in 2022

Development Trend of Metallurgical Industry 2022 Development Status and Prospect Analysis of Metallurgical Industry

As the world's largest metallurgical country, China's output of steel and commonly used non-ferrous metals is close to half of the global output. In order to improve the overcapacity of the metallurgical industry and gradually realize the sustainable development of the metallurgical industry, the state promotes the transformation and upgrading of the metallurgical industry in terms of policies and other aspects.

Metallurgy is the process and process of extracting metals or metal compounds from ores, and using various processing methods to make metals into metallic materials with certain properties. The metallurgical industry has a high degree of correlation, a wide range of coverage, and a large consumption drive. It plays an important role in economic construction, social development, finance and taxation, and personnel employment. Most of the production equipment in the metallurgical industry work in harsh environments with high (alternating) stress and high thermal stress, such as continuous casting rolls, straightening rolls, grooved rolls, semi-steel rolls, casting tube molds, and hot (cold) rolling work. Rollers, blast furnace chutes and clocks, etc. Metallurgy is the foundation of national economic construction and a symbol of national strength and industrial development level. It provides materials and products required for various industries such as machinery, energy, chemical industry, transportation, construction, aerospace industry, and national defense and military industries.

Metallurgy has a long history of development, from the Stone Age to the subsequent Bronze Age to the large-scale development of modern steel smelting. The history of human development incorporates the history of metallurgy. The metallurgical industry is one of the most important basic industries in my country. The main technologies of metallurgy are pyrometallurgy, hydrometallurgy and electrometallurgy, among which the development of hydrometallurgy is particularly remarkable. The concentration and enrichment, impurity removal and purification in the hydrometallurgical extraction process, as well as the treatment of a large amount of acid and alkali, heavy metals and other types of wastewater discharged from production, have always been the difficulties of enterprise wastewater treatment. With the successful application of physical chemistry in metallurgy, metallurgy moved from a process to a science, so there was a major in metallurgical engineering in the university. With Lufeng as the representative of metallurgy, it has become one of the best manufacturers of high-quality smelting equipment at home and abroad, such as copper and lead smelting furnaces, linear ingot casting machines, disc ingot casting machines, lead can refining systems, and lead-acid battery crushing and sorting systems. , copper-lead-zinc electrolysis system, etc.

In today's world, the level of standardization has become the basic element of the core competitiveness of countries and regions. If an enterprise, or even a country, wants to stand in an invincible position in the fierce international competition, it must deeply understand the importance of standards to the development of the national economy and society. Standards are the "commanding heights" of international economic and technological competition, and the "first move" for enterprises, industries and equipment to go global. It is necessary to focus on improving the level of Chinese standards and enhance the hard power of Chinese standards, but also to comprehensively plan and participate in the formulation of international standardization strategies, policies and rules, and improve my country's institutional voice in global economic governance.

In the future, the actual demand growth of China's metallurgical products will maintain an average annual growth rate of 7.57%. It is expected that the central and southern regions will become the region with the most potential demand for China's metallurgical products in the future, and metallurgical production enterprises will become the enterprises that benefit most from the growth of downstream industry demand.

In recent years, China's metallurgical industry has maintained rapid development, the scale of production and operation of metallurgical enterprises has expanded rapidly, mergers and reorganizations among enterprises have become a trend, the industry concentration has been continuously improved, the company's management scope has rapidly increased, and metallurgical enterprises have developed into groups. Trend, resource integration has become an important issue in the production and operation of metallurgical enterprises.

Hydrogen metallurgy technology using hydrogen instead of coal as a reducing agent is the best way to achieve decarbonization in the metallurgical industry. At present, my country's metallurgical industry is accelerating the application of hydrogen energy, and 8 steel companies have taken the lead in deploying hydrogen metallurgy. In the context of carbon neutrality, low-carbon emission reduction requirements will gradually become the development goals of the steel and metallurgical industries, promoting hydrogen metallurgy to replace traditional processes with high carbon emissions. It is estimated that in 2022, there will be more than 10 companies deploying hydrogen metallurgy, and the demand for metallurgical hydrogen is expected to reach 300,000 tons.
