Material Strength Upholds the Backbone of Manufacturing｜Tiangong International’s Eight High-End New Materials and Technologies Pass Authoritative Appraisal
Adhering to innovation-driven development is a critical pathway for manufacturing enterprises to achieve high-quality leaps. On December 12, Tiangong International Limited held its 2025 New Products and Technologies Appraisal Meeting. An appraisal committee composed of authoritative experts from the Jiangsu Metallurgical Industry Association and several universities conducted a rigorous evaluation of Tiangong International’s latest high-end material technological achievements. The meeting was chaired by Chen Jianhua, President of the Jiangsu Metallurgical Industry Association, with Tiangong International President Zhu Zefeng and relevant company leaders from technology, market, and other departments in attendance.
Gathering of Authoritative Experts to Witness Technological Breakthroughs
In his opening remarks, Zhu Zefeng welcomed the leaders of the Jiangsu Metallurgical Industry Association and the appraisal experts, providing a systematic overview of Tiangong International’s development.
He emphasized that Tiangong International is a specialized manufacturer of advanced foundational materials supported by national policies, with long-term expertise in high-speed tool steel, mold steel, titanium and titanium alloy materials, and cutting-edge powder metallurgy tool and mold steel. The company’s comprehensive strength ranks among the top in the global tool and mold steel industry. In 2019, Tiangong successfully built China’s first large-scale powder metallurgy production line for tool and mold steel, breaking international technological monopolies, filling the gap in domestic large-scale applications, and achieving import substitution for multiple high-end powder metallurgy materials. This solidified Tiangong’s technological leadership in the powder metallurgy field.
Eight Achievements Unveiled, All Pass Appraisal
The eight new products and technologies appraised closely align with national strategic demands for new materials, addressing key material bottlenecks in high-end manufacturing. They span powder metallurgy, high-performance mold steel, and high-end cutting materials. Young technical talents from Tiangong International’s technology department, including Zhang Pengcheng, Zou Han, and Wang Chen, delivered thematic presentations. The expert panel carefully reviewed technical documentation and conducted in-depth inquiries.
The appraised achievements include:
Mold steel for high-strength aluminum-magnesium alloy die-casting mold nozzle heads
Powder metallurgy ultra-high-alloy high-speed steel micro-fine wires for aviation micro-drills
New wear-resistant powder metallurgy ultra-thin tool high-speed steel
High-performance high-cobalt powder cutting tool high-speed steel
Powder metallurgy near-net-shape forming materials with built-in flow channels
New powder metallurgy high-strength, high-nitrogen stainless steel
High-glass-fiber plastic mold steel
High-alloy, high-red-hardness powder high-speed steel
Domestically Pioneering, Internationally Leading
After comprehensive evaluation, all eight new products and technologies were approved by the expert panel. The experts unanimously agreed that the achievements are domestically pioneering and internationally leading, with significant breakthroughs in material design, powder metallurgy processes, and engineering applications. These accomplishments not only demonstrate Tiangong International’s systematic innovation capabilities in high-end new materials but will also strongly drive technological upgrades in the tool and mold steel industry.
The above achievements hold broad application prospects in aerospace, new energy vehicles, humanoid robots, high-end equipment manufacturing, and other fields. They provide high-end material localization solutions for multiple industries, playing a vital role in breaking import dependence and ensuring supply chain security.
Serving the Nation with Materials, Building Dreams with Innovation
Zhu Xiaokun, Chairman of the Board of Tiangong International, stated that the company will continue to focus on major national strategic demands, steadfastly deepen its expertise in tool and mold steel and powder metallurgy, and accelerate breakthroughs in original high-end new material technologies. With “core material strength,” Tiangong will support Chinese manufacturing in advancing toward higher-end development.
