太钢助力我国光伏多晶硅核心装备实现国产化
单重8吨以上N08120合金宽厚板全球首发
5月24日，《中国冶金报》记者从中国宝武太钢方面获悉，青海亚洲硅业半导体有限公司（下称亚洲硅业）5月初向太钢发来感谢信，感谢太钢为我国首台（套）国产化光伏多晶硅核心装备冷氢化反应器准时成功投产做出的突出贡献。

It is reported that in the month of the year, China's first set of photovoltaic polysilicon core equipment, the cold hydrogenation reactor, was successfully and safely put into operation on time at Asia Silicon Industry, using entirely domestically produced materials. This achievement marks a transformation from reliance on imports to domestic self-supply, making it a milestone event in the construction of China's clean and renewable energy industry, and holds strategic significance for promoting the development of the new energy industry. As of now, the equipment has been operating smoothly.

Today, the photovoltaic industry has become a pillar of China's new energy sector. China's photovoltaic industry has maintained global leadership for many years in terms of technological capabilities, power generation, and installed capacity, with a broad market outlook. The demand for key materials in photovoltaic conversion, such as polysilicon, has also surged rapidly. As market competition intensifies, the core equipment for polysilicon production, the cold hydrogenation reactor, is evolving towards larger size and higher parameters. This development necessitates the rapid large-scale supply and upgrading of key materials, such as iron-nickel-based alloys, with requirements for greater thickness and single weight.

For a long time, the polycrystalline silicon core equipment reactor has relied on imported iron-nickel-based alloy wide and thick plate materials, which have been constrained by small specifications, high costs, and long delivery cycles, becoming a bottleneck in the development of the polycrystalline silicon industry, urgently requiring localization. The customer not only demanded stringent performance requirements such as high temperature resistance, high pressure resistance, strong corrosion resistance, and extremely high surface quality for this product, but also unprecedented requirements for thickness and plate weight, presenting extraordinary technical challenges. Domestic steel mills had never before supplied such products.

In the first half of the year, Taiyuan Iron and Steel (TISCO) took on the mission of achieving localization and large-scale supply breakthroughs in key materials for the photovoltaic industry. Through arduous technical efforts and boldly adopting an efficient short-process technology route, TISCO resolved a series of technical challenges in the production of wide and thick plates made from iron-nickel-based alloys, achieving significant innovation in the production process. The company independently developed high-performance, high-quality wide and thick plates, which were mass-supplied in the same year. Subsequently, in response to the material upgrade needs of the polysilicon project, TISCO achieved a global first with alloy wide and thick plates weighing over 100 tons, filling a market gap. In the month of the year, this R&D project won the first prize of the Metallurgical Science and Technology Award from the China Iron and Steel Industry Association and the China Metal Society; in the same month, it was also nominated for the annual innovation award of the World Steel Association's (the 1st) "Prize."
