With the continuous development of intelligent technology, smart city construction has become one of the key development directions in China’s 13th Five-Year Plan. In the future, smart cities will need to comprehensively upgrade and transform urban infrastructure, with stainless steel forgings playing an indispensable role.
Firstly, stainless steel forgings have a wide range of applications in the infrastructure of smart cities. For example, in transportation facilities such as roads, stainless steel forgings can be used to make guardrails, bridge structures, explosion-proof doors, etc. In urban buildings, stainless steel forgings can be applied to drainage systems, air conditioning systems, signal towers, billboards, etc.
Moreover, the role of stainless steel forgings in smart city construction has also been supported by national policies. “Made in China 2025” puts forward a strategy to promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries such as iron and steel and non-ferrous metals, encouraging these industries to develop toward high value-added and high-quality directions, and improve their core competitiveness. At the same time, China has also issued a special plan for technological transformation and equipment upgrading of the building materials industry, encouraging enterprises to improve product quality and competitiveness through scientific and technological innovation and equipment upgrading.
In addition, the development of stainless steel forgings in smart city construction has also been encouraged by local policies. For example, in some smart city construction projects, governments may provide certain funding support and tax incentives to encourage enterprises to increase R&D investment, and promote industrial intelligence upgrading.
In conclusion, as smart city construction continues to deepen, stainless steel forgings will play an increasingly important role. Facing the development challenges under the new situation, industrial enterprises need to actively adjust their thinking, strengthen technological innovation, improve product quality and core competitiveness, in order to meet market demand.
