How can we defy the inherent fate of steel—corrosion? The answer lies within this thin yet formidable layer of "Zinc" Armor.

The A3XX passenger aircraft of European Airbus, the B77X aircraft of American Boeing, the C919 of China Commercial Aircraft Corporation, and the CR929 aircraft produced by the Sino-Russian joint venture all use a considerable amount of titanium materials for structural components.

The China Stainless Steel Industry Annual Conference and Industrial Development Conference was held in Foshan. On behalf of the Stainless Steel Branch of the China Iron and Steel Association (CISA), Ms. Zhou Zhuoli, Party Committee Secretary and Chairman of Guangxi Beigang New Materials Co., Ltd., and Rotating President of the CISA Stainless Steel Branch, delivered the 2025 Annual Work Report on China's Stainless Steel Industry.

As a core material in key fields such as aerospace and medical applications, titanium alloys have long faced the challenge of balancing yield strength and uniform plasticity — an increase in strength is often accompanied by a sharp decrease in plasticity, which has become the main bottleneck limiting performance improvement.

At present, the R&D of solid-state transformers (SSTs) in China is progressing in sync with global developments, marking a critical period to seize opportunities, vigorously advance, and gain a competitive edge.

In the fields of power and electronics, cores serve as the central components of devices such as transformers and inductors, and their performance has a crucial impact on the overall efficiency and service life of the equipment. Amorphous cores and conventional cores are two common types of cores, and they exhibit significant differences in terms of material properties, manufacturing processes, and application performance. The following is a detailed comparison of these two types of cores:

Stainless-steel’s high melting point is a major advantage when it comes to space travel. Aluminium or carbon fibre are limited to a steady-state operating temperature of 150°C, with short periods operating at around 180-200°C, but which lead to a weakening of the material. Some carbon fibres can operate continuously at 200°C, but these come with compromises in strength.

As the global humanoid robot industry enters a new phase of large-scale mass production, the industrial application level of titanium alloy materials has become an important indicator to measure technological competitiveness.
