With the continuous progress of technology, stainless steel forgings as a high-strength and highly corrosion-resistant excellent metal raw material have been widely used in consumer products and daily necessities. It is reported that the global annual consumption of stainless steel has exceeded 40 million tons as of now, which demonstrates its importance. This article will explore the broad prospects for the application of stainless steel forgings in consumer products and daily necessities by combining national policy information.
Firstly, from the perspective of national policies, stainless steel forgings have become one of China’s strategic emerging industries. According to the “China Stainless Steel Yearbook” released in 2018, China’s stainless steel ingot production accounts for more than 60% of the world’s total production, with stainless steel forgings playing an important role in the industry. In addition, the government has also introduced a series of policy measures to encourage technological innovation and promote the application of stainless steel materials, such as the “13th Five-Year Plan” and the “Opinions on Strengthening Research and Promotion of Stainless Steel Materials and Applications in Shenzhen”. It can be seen that China attaches great importance to the application of stainless steel forgings and has identified it as one of the key industries for development.
Secondly, the extensive application prospects of stainless steel forgings in consumer products and daily necessities have been fully verified. Firstly, with the improvement of people’s material living standards, consumers have increasingly higher requirements for the quality of daily necessities. Stainless steel forgings have been widely used in kitchen utensils, home decoration, and other fields. For example, many utensils in the kitchen, such as pots, bowls, and chopsticks, are made of stainless steel because they have excellent corrosion resistance and processing performance, which can adapt to various different usage environments. At the same time, stainless steel forgings are also widely used in furniture, sanitary ware, and other fields, for example, stainless steel aromatherapy furnaces, washbasins, bathtubs, and so on, which are not only beautiful and practical but also very durable, meeting consumers’ long-term usage needs.
In conclusion, the broad prospects for the application of stainless steel forgings in consumer products and daily necessities are very promising. In the future, China will further increase support for the stainless steel industry, promote technological innovation and industrial upgrading, and further expand the application scope of stainless steel forgings, driving the development of related industries.
