The first batch of Rockcheck's own brand - kilowatt hydrogen fuel cell system has successfully rolled off the production line.

On [specific date], Rockcheck New Energy Group (hereinafter referred to as Rockcheck New Energy) achieved a significant milestone in hydrogen energy equipment manufacturing—the successful rollout of its first batch of self-branded [specific power]-kilowatt hydrogen fuel cell systems. On the same day, Zhang Ronghua, Chairman of Rockcheck Group, visited the hydrogen fuel cell system production base to gain a detailed understanding of the production processes, technological innovations, and product performance of the [specific power]-kilowatt hydrogen fuel cells. It is reported that these battery systems will soon be delivered to OEMs for vehicle integration, providing robust support for the iterative upgrades of hydrogen energy equipment such as hydrogen-powered heavy trucks.

Entering the production workshop, the environment is spotless, with equipment operating in an orderly manner. Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) shuttle automatically within the workshop, and the flipping tool carts move up, down, left, and right with agility. A large screen displays real-time data of the production line, clearly reflecting the production progress and status. This base is constructed to high standards according to Rongcheng's integrated model of "Smart Cloud, Smart Transport, and Smart Manufacturing," where the intelligent production line significantly enhances production efficiency and product quality.

It is reported that the Hydrogen Power Hydrogen Fuel Cell System R&D and Manufacturing Base was officially completed on [date], covering a construction area of [square meters]. The base specializes in the research, development, and production of high-power, low-consumption hydrogen fuel cell systems, with an annual production capacity of [units]. The base is fully networked, allowing transport vehicles to efficiently and accurately deliver fuel cell components from storage areas to corresponding assembly stations, ensuring the continuity and efficiency of the assembly process. Advanced flipping tooling vehicles enable multi-angle and multi-position installation, significantly improving assembly efficiency. Through a big data platform, staff can record, determine, and trace all critical installation parameters.

Shangang's ultra-thick low-temperature resistant steel fills domestic gap

Recently, Shangang Group successfully developed and began mass-producing low-temperature-resistant steel sections with a thickness of . millimeters, which will be used in overseas construction projects. This achievement not only sets a new record for the extreme specifications of Shangang's steel sections but also fills a technological gap in the domestic production of extra-thick, low-temperature-resistant steel sections. It provides strong momentum for Shangang's participation in international cooperation projects under the "Belt and Road" initiative.

It is understood that the .mm thickness section steel is recognized within the industry as the limit size specification for section steel, with a complex rolling process and high technical difficulty, especially due to numerous technical challenges in ensuring the product's low-temperature performance. This marks the first time that Shangang Co., Ltd.'s section steel line has produced low-temperature-resistant section steel with a thickness exceeding mm, presenting significant challenges in both technical research and development as well as production manufacturing.

To break through technical bottlenecks, the Manufacturing Management Department of Shangang Group Co., Ltd. led the formation of a technical攻关 team in collaboration with Shangang's Section Steel Plant, Steelmaking Plant, and other units. By突破 traditional process limitations, the team significantly improved the stability of the product's impact energy in sub-zero低温 environments, with measured values reaching above joules. After rigorous quality inspections, the surface quality, dimensional accuracy, and low-temperature impact performance of this batch of products all met or exceeded relevant standards, fulfilling customer requirements. This achievement demonstrates Shangang's strong competitiveness in the研发 and production of low-temperature-resistant section steel, further enhancing its order-winning capability in high-end markets such as marine engineering and bridge construction.

The second phase of Huaxing Rare Earth Expansion Project with Annual Tons of Rare Earth Metals was put into operation

On [month and day], the second phase of Huaxing Rare Earth's expansion project for an annual output of [X] tons of rare earth metals officially commenced production. As the first construction project to start production in the Year of the Snake, Baotou Steel Group's Northern Rare Earth seized the initiative, closely monitored progress, and worked swiftly to advance the project with full effort.

That morning, the Phase II project site was bustling with activity. The frontline workers were fully focused and working in orderly coordination, making final preparations for the startup of the first fluoride-system electrolytic furnace in the Phase II project. As bags of electrolyte were pressed into the furnace and molten metal was successfully poured in, the temperature inside the furnace gradually rose, and the electrolytic reaction became vigorous and thorough, marking the successful ignition of the first electrolytic furnace in the Phase II project. Lu Qiang, General Manager of Huaxing Rare Earth, stated that once completed and operational, the project would further enhance the company's production capacity and technical capabilities, injecting new vitality into its high-quality development. Currently, all units of the Phase I project have entered the production sequence.

It is understood that the project stands out for its technological and equipment highlights, featuring the selection of the largest single-unit capacity 1000-ampere electrolytic cell in the country, with process technology and environmental protection facilities leading domestically. Among these, the new process of electrolyzing rare earth oxides in a fluoride system enables 100% utilization of rare earth elements and the recycling of fluorine resources, producing rare earth metals of higher quality, lower cost, and stronger market competitiveness.

Particularly noteworthy is the project's remarkable achievements in digital and automated transformation and upgrading. The deployment of a series of advanced equipment—such as the automatic feeding system, vacuum suction casting system, vacuum packaging, automated coding and packaging inspection line, negative pressure material conveying, dust removal and purification facilities, and fluorine resource recovery from exhaust gases—will comprehensively enhance production efficiency and product quality, effectively reduce energy consumption, and accelerate Huaxing Rare Earth's transition toward "green, digital, and high-end" transformation. This will continuously strengthen the company's core competitiveness.

The start is the decisive battle; the beginning is the sprint.
