With the continuous innovation of national defense technology, stainless steel forgings, as an important material, are increasingly valued. Its contribution and value in the high-speed development of military equipment construction gradually become apparent.
Firstly, due to its excellent corrosion resistance, high strength, and low-temperature toughness, stainless steel forgings can be used in various complex extreme environments, such as high-altitude, low-pressure, deep-sea, dense terrain, etc., effectively improving the reliability and service life of weapons and equipment. At the same time, stainless steel forgings have a wide range of applications in aviation, aerospace, automotive, machinery, and other fields, thanks to their properties of wear resistance and durability.
Secondly, national policies have provided strong support for the development of stainless steel forgings. For instance, in the “Guiding Opinions on Promoting High-Quality Development of National Defense Science and Technology Industry” issued by the State Council, it is explicitly stated that efforts should be made to strengthen the research on new materials, improve the performance of military materials, enhance the quality and modernization level of weapons and equipment. In addition, “Made in China 2025” issued in 2019 also specifically proposes to promote independent innovation of high-end equipment and strategic leading technologies, providing more opportunities and space for the development of stainless steel forgings.
Finally, the contribution of stainless steel forgings in defense technology innovation is not only reflected in the field of military equipment but also widely applied in the major national scientific and technological projects. For example, in China’s aerospace industry, stainless steel forgings have been extensively used on critical carriers such as the Long March rocket and manned spacecraft, ensuring the realization of China’s “space dream.” Moreover, stainless steel forgings have been widely used in important scientific research projects such as national underwater archaeology and **detection.
In summary, stainless steel forgings play an important role in defense technology innovation. Its wide range of applications in the construction of weapons and equipment and major national scientific and technological projects provide a solid foundation and enormous potential for its future development.
