On the morning of December 23rd, 2024, the China Baowu Technology Innovation Conference was held at Baowu Building. The project of "Reducing the Consumption of Silicon Molybdenum Rod in High Temperature Nitrogen Shuttle Kiln" by Sinosteel Luonai has won the Gold Award for Independent Management in Baowu's First "Four Modernizations Cup" Innovation and Efficiency Competition and was commended at the Science and Technology Innovation Conference!

The China Baowu Independent Management Activity Experience Exchange Conference and the first "Four Modernizations Cup" Innovation and Efficiency Competition Independent Management Track Comprehensive Evaluation Event will be held in Ma'anshan from October 16th to 18th. The project "Reducing the Consumption of Silicon Molybdenum Rod in High Temperature Nitrogen Shuttle Kiln" released by Sinosteel Luonai stood out from 24 participating teams and won the gold medal!

As the world's largest production base for silicon nitride combined with silicon carbide products, Sinosteel Luonailuo New Base has a high consumption of silicon molybdenum rods in high-temperature nitriding firing shuttle kilns. The temperature field generated by the silicon molybdenum rod electric heating element is the key to determining the quality of nitriding products firing and the length of firing cycle. Reducing the consumption of silicon molybdenum rods in high-temperature nitrogen shuttle kilns has become a key link to extend the service life of silicon molybdenum rods and improve firing efficiency. In order to solve the constraints on improving production efficiency and achieve the goal of reducing costs and increasing efficiency, the Luoxin base carries forward the fine tradition of independent innovation and establishes a research and development team consisting of 8 people to conduct statistical analysis on the replacement of silicon molybdenum rods during the product firing process. The temperature field inside the kiln is systematically simulated and analyzed, and the corresponding costs are calculated. After more than a year, the key factors affecting high silicon consumption are identified and the system is improved based on actual conditions. The average consumption of silicon molybdenum rods in the furnace is reduced from 249 to 192, with a cumulative cost reduction and efficiency increase of 2.176 million yuan, achieving significant results.

This project is a microcosm of Sinosteel Luonai's commitment to innovation driven development, creating an atmosphere of innovation and efficiency for all employees, and fostering an innovative culture. It is also a vivid manifestation of Sinosteel Luonai's unwavering commitment to innovation as the primary driving force. Sinosteel Luonai will thoroughly implement the spirit of the Baowu Science and Technology Innovation Conference, take the initiative in "innovation", move towards the future with "new", adhere to development through innovation, innovate through development, adhere to the development direction of "four modernizations" and the business philosophy of "four haves", focus on national strategic and production needs, closely grasp key difficulties such as technological innovation and quality management, widely mobilize employees and masses, promote the deepening of self-management activities at the grassroots level, continuously improve the depth and breadth of innovation, and contribute wisdom and strength to the high-quality development of Sinosteel Luonai, Zhonggang Group, and Baowu.
