Substantial Breakthrough Achieved in Nuclear Fusion-Related Technologies! Powder Material Testing Performance Meets Fusion Reactor Requirements—Tiangong International Board Chairman Zhu Xiaokun Visits Institute of Plasma Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences

On December 10, Zhu Xiaokun, Chairman of the Board of Tiangong International, led the group’s technical team to the Institute of Plasma Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (hereinafter referred to as “the Institute”) in Hefei for a collaborative exchange. The two sides engaged in in-depth discussions on the research and development of special nuclear fusion materials, engineering pathways, and the establishment of joint laboratories.

Li Jiangang, former Director of the Institute and Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, attended the exchange activity. He highly acknowledged Tiangong International’s long-term commitment to advanced specialty steel and powder metallurgy. He noted that, as a private high-tech enterprise in China with full-process material manufacturing capabilities, Tiangong possesses the strength and potential to participate in major national nuclear fusion projects. He particularly commended Chairman Zhu Xiaokun, as a two-term National People’s Congress representative, for his dedication to leading the company in serving national strategic needs. During subsequent exchanges with the Institute’s technical staff, experts from the Institute expressed full recognition of the nuclear fusion material samples and self-tested performance data provided by Tiangong. They affirmed that Tiangong’s material systems and powder metallurgy technological reserves meet the key indicator requirements for nuclear fusion material research and development. Substantive breakthroughs in related technical bottlenecks are anticipated, with material performance capable of meeting fusion reactor usage standards and showing promising engineering application prospects in key fusion reactor components.

Zhu Xiaokun stated that nuclear fusion materials represent a “strategic high ground” in future material science and technology and are a key focus of Tiangong International’s long-term strategy. Tiangong is willing to collaborate with the Institute on joint research in critical areas such as nuclear fusion structural materials and neutron-absorbing materials, actively explore the establishment of joint laboratories, and accelerate the transformation of scientific research achievements into engineering and industrial applications.

This exchange not only deepened mutual technical trust in the field of nuclear fusion materials but also laid a solid foundation for future collaborative innovation in national strategic new materials. Tiangong International will continue to leverage material science and technological innovation to serve major national projects, actively expand into future energy sectors, and contribute “Tiangong Manufacturing” to accelerating the progress of China’s nuclear fusion endeavors.
