Baosteel Silicon Steel Contributes to Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway
07/12/2011 - The Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway, which began operation on June 30, uses high-quality silicon steel from Baosteel for the locomotive and the transformer in the high-speed rail line.
The Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway, which began operation on June 30, uses high-quality silicon steel from Baosteel for the locomotive and the transformer in the high-speed rail line.
Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway is said to have the largest investment and highest technology among the projects of "Medium and Long-term Railway Network Plan" in China. The railway started construction on April 18, 2008, from Beijing South Railway Station to Shanghai Hongqiao Station, with a total length of 1318 km and total investment of 220.9 billion Yuan. The shortest travel time from Beijing to Shanghai is less than 5 hours.
The main transport locomotives on the railway are manufactured by two domestic railway vehicle companies, respectively. As the manufacturer of NGO silicon steel for the motor, Baosteel started to develop the material for the locomotive in the 1990s. Since 2008, with the rapid development of high-speed railway by the country, motor manufacturers have speeded up the development of motors. In the past, the NGO silicon steel was successfully used on the locomotives of Wuhan-Guangzhou and Shanghai-Hangzhou high-speed railways.
During the construction of Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway, one of the transformer companies in Shanghai is responsible for supply of 24 transformers for part of the high-speed railway lines and two for Hongqiao Station. This company finished the successful manufacture of transformers by choosing Baosteel NGO silicon steel, which has met the construction requirement.
