Zhang Shaoming, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of China Steel Research Institute, Li Wenqing, Secretary of the Deyang Municipal Party Committee, Li Yuanchun, Minister of Science and Technology of China Aviation Development Group, Liu Guangqiang, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee, Chairman and General Manager of Deyang Gaona, Luo Wenquan, Deputy Secretary of the Deyang Municipal Party Committee, He Yongyong, Executive Vice President of Tianjin High-end Equipment Research Institute of Tsinghua University (Tsinghua Tianjin Equipment Institute), Zhang Lei, etc.

Launch ceremony

At the commissioning ceremony, Li Yuanchun, Minister of Science and Technology of China Aeroengine Group Co., Ltd., Feng Jun, Secretary of the Party Working Committee of Deyang Economic Development Zone and Secretary of the Party Working Committee of Deyang International Railway Logistics Port, and Sun Shaobin, Secretary of the Party Committee, Chairman and General Manager of Beijing Steel Research Gaona Technology Co., Ltd., delivered speeches respectively. He Yongyong, executive vice president of Tsinghua Tianjin Equipment Institute, handed over the key of 300MN die forging press to Steel Research Gaona.

Key handover ceremony of 300MN die forging press

After the start-up ceremony, the participants walked into the production workshop of the enterprise and visited the forging production line of the enterprise. Steel Research Gona produced GH4169 turbine disk through 300MN die forging hydraulic press for production demonstration. The official commissioning of the Gangangao Deyang Base is an important achievement node for the completion of 3 months of trial production after the successful thermal test of the 300MN die forging hydraulic press developed by Tsinghua Tianjin Equipment Institute on June 9, 2023. The new achievements made by the Institute in technological innovation and achievement transformation have important strategic significance for improving the technical level of my country's aviation equipment.

300MN die forging hydraulic press

The leaders at the meeting spoke highly of the production of the base. After the project reaches production, the forging and rolling production line with 300MN die forging hydraulic press and 500 tons ring rolling as main equipment will form the mass production and supply capacity of aero-engine disc ring forgings and other products. It is expected that by the end of the 14th Five-Year Plan, it will become a full-process research and development platform for the design and engineering application of deformed superalloy in China, and further improve the independent and controllable level of domestic aero-engine and gas turbine core components, improve the innovation ability and industrialization level of China's high-end metal materials. The official commissioning also marks another solid step in the research and development and manufacturing of deformed superalloy materials in my country. It not only improves the technical capabilities of my country's advanced aero-engine hard-to-deform superalloy products, but also improves the quality of disc ring forgings. Stability and reliability, in order to accelerate the pace of independent research and development of aero-engines, and accelerate the use of a stronger "Chinese heart" for Chinese aircraft.
About 300 people including relevant leaders, guests, customer representatives, participating units and media reporters attended the ceremony.
