The Shanghai Institute of Metallurgy at the Chinese Academy of Sciences is a comprehensive research institute focusing on metallurgy and materials science. Founded in 1951, the Institute has made significant contributions to scientific research, technological progress, and academics of metallurgy.
The Institute’s main research areas include metallurgical processes and metal extraction, metal production, smelting and pressureforming, metal materials, metal processing and manufacturing, and energy resource processing. It has strong capabilities in research on the development of new technologies, the buildup of large-scale manufacturing processes, and the promotion of new materials and products. The Institute has established a wide variety of research facilities that allow for in-depth research and the development of new technology.
The Institute has developed many technologies and products, such as high-grade steels, super-strong alloys, molds for steelmaking, continuous casting machines for ferrous metals, cold-rolled rolling technology, and precision rolling technology. In addition, the Institute has been researching and developing titanium alloys, high-strength aluminum alloys, and hot-rolled strips suitable for automotive industry. They also specialize in research on super hard materials and nanomaterials that can improve the performance of industrial and consumer products.
The Institute also makes a lot of achievements in the research of advanced and special materials. They are one of the earliest research centers participating in the development of the Mg-Ti-based alloys and technologies, as well as rapidly solidified high performance alloys and near-net shaping technologies. They have also developed a variety of large-scale equipment and facilities that can provide film services and technical consultation services to customers.
In order to continue improving the research performance, The Shanghai Institute of Metallurgy at the Chinese Academy of Sciences has been promoting and reforming its organizational structures, re-engineering its scientific planning, and reinforcing its fund collection and use. With unswerving efforts and a clear vision, the Institute is confident to be the leading institution in super tech cover areas in the world, providing advanced technologies and techniques to meet the demand of the industry and serving the development of China’s science and technology.
