Recently, the "2021 (Second) China Stainless Steel Pipe Summit Forum" was held in Songyang. Li Song, deputy director of the Financial Assets Department of the China Iron and Steel Association, said that my country has become the world's largest stainless steel pipe production, consumption and exporter. The production scale and quality level have reached the international level, and the self-sufficiency rate has exceeded 90%.

Li Song said that the stainless steel industry is an important part of the steel industry, and it is also an important steel product in steel products, which is a high value-added product. In 2020, China's stainless steel production will be 30.14 million tons, accounting for more than 59% of the world's total. Stainless steel pipe is one of the main products of stainless steel, and it is an important material for the construction of equipment manufacturing, energy and chemical industry, marine engineering, water supply, decoration and other civil fields.

"Although the current stainless steel pipe can basically meet the downstream industry on the variety, specifications, quality requirements, but also face rising raw material prices, low industrial concentration, strict control of environmental protection and other common problems." Li Song said that in the next step, the industry needs to accelerate structural adjustment, transformation and upgrading, and high-quality development to achieve common growth with downstream industries.

Zhang Longqiang, Secretary of the Party Committee and Dean of the Metallurgical Industry Information Standards Research Institute, said that from 2000 to 2015, my country's steel pipe industry has entered a period of rapid development, and the annual output of steel pipes has increased from 9.338 million tons to 98.272 million tons, with an average annual growth rate of 17.0. The apparent consumption of steel pipes increased from 9.381 million tons to 89.354 million tons, with an average annual growth rate of 16.2. Since 2015, China's steel pipe industry has entered a period of high-quality development, and the variety and quality of products have been greatly improved.

Zhang Longqiang said that the development of steel standardization is closely linked to the stage of China's economic development and the development of the steel industry. At present, there are 138 national, industry and group standards for steel pipes in China, including 86 national standards, 35 industry standards and 17 group standards of China Iron and Steel Industry Association. The product standard covers steel pipe products in various application fields such as petroleum, chemical industry, construction, machinery, energy, transportation, and military industry.

Zhang Longqiang said: in the next step, the iron and steel industry should be guided by market demand and target the service industry. adhere to the principle of combining standards with industrial development, standards with quality improvement, national standards with industry standards/group standards, and domestic and international standards, so as to meet the needs of the whole industry chain, national defense and other fields for the use of steel standards and international trade.

He introduced that at present, the steel industry is actively implementing the requirements of the "2021 National Standard System Optimization Pilot Work Plan", in accordance with the principles of integrating a batch, proposing a batch, revising a batch, abolishing a batch, transforming a batch, and adopting a batch. Establish a standard system with a reasonable structure, dynamic balance, and matching connections in the steel industry. The steel pipe profession is also actively conducting standard applicability surveys and new project solicitation.

Zhang Longqiang pointed out that the Chinese steel pipe standard has played an important role in achieving higher-quality development in the steel pipe industry. It is the technical support for the industry's economic activities and the basic system for the modernization of the industry's governance system and governance capabilities. It effectively helps corporate brand building and efficiency improvement, and actively promotes New product development and promotion and application.

Gan Yong, an academician of the Chinese Academy of engineering, said that with the deepening of the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, the global competition pattern is undergoing profound changes. High-quality new-generation information technology and advanced materials are the two "chassis technologies" of the manufacturing industry, supporting the manufacturing industry to move towards high-quality development.

Gan Yong pointed out that in the future, it is necessary to establish and improve the standard system of intelligent manufacturing in the iron and steel industry, complete digital supplementary lessons, consolidate the foundation of intelligent manufacturing, improve the ability of independent innovation, conquer key core technologies, innovate the industrial promotion mechanism, build a collaborative development platform, study intelligent manufacturing solutions in the iron and steel industry, promote the application of big data, improve the level of intelligent decision-making of enterprises, and strengthen the foundation, professional institution cultivation project, professional personnel intelligent transformation project, product quality certification platform project four major projects to promote the intelligent transformation of the steel industry.
