The "Tianjin Equipment Manufacturing Friction Reduction Engineering Technology Center" applied by our institute was approved to be established.

On October 13, 2017, Tianjin Science and Technology Commission issued a notice (Jin Kechuang [2017] No. 131). The "Tianjin Equipment Manufacturing Friction Reduction and Consumption Reduction Engineering Technology Center" applied by our institute was approved by Tianjin Science and Technology Commission. This is the first provincial engineering center approved by our institute.

The project center will be established for 2 years and is expected to be completed and accepted in October 2019.

The establishment of "Tianjin equipment manufacturing friction reduction and consumption reduction engineering technology center" conforms to the historical trend of China's transformation from a "manufacturing power" to a "green manufacturing power", and is an important bridge between research institutions and industries to realize technology application and promotion. The engineering center mainly relies on the application technology of friction reduction and consumption reduction of Tianjin High-end Equipment Research Institute of Tsinghua University (hereinafter referred to as "High-end Institute") to build four technical pillars: research on friction and wear laws of key components and systems, friction reduction and consumption reduction technology and surface engineering of typical friction pairs, research and development of special friction materials and new lubricating materials, intelligent lubricating system of large-scale equipment and big data technology, and is committed to research and development of energy saving operation and maintenance and consumption reduction in equipment manufacturing industry.

As a technology transformation platform, it is planned to gather more upstream and downstream industries through the engineering center to drive and lead new technical services and technology research and development high-tech enterprises, which will inject energy saving, consumption reduction, and green environmental protection into the city's existing traditional industries. The vitality of new technologies will increase competitiveness through energy saving, consumption reduction, quality improvement and efficiency improvement; at the same time, use the opportunity of in-depth cooperation between engineering centers and enterprises to derive emerging technology industry directions, it provides an important opportunity to promote and derive energy-saving and environmentally friendly enterprises.

In accordance with the requirements of the relevant management regulations of Tianjin Engineering Center, our institute will focus on strengthening the technology agglomeration capacity and industrial chain radiation capacity in the field of friction reduction and consumption reduction, improve the common technology development capacity and engineering level, and provide strong support for the development of technology-based small and medium-sized enterprises in an all-round way, so as to provide new impetus for high-end institutes to better play the leading role of friction reduction and consumption reduction technology innovation highland.
