# The upgrading of traditional industries is also the development of new quality productive forces

Wu Kai

Electrical steel with a thickness of only 0.1 millimeters, high-speed wheels of CR450 train sets, and the blades from the first domestically produced F-class 50-megawatt heavy-duty gas turbine in China... The steel industry is rejuvenating through transformation and upgrading.

This vitality comes from innovations in production methods. From judging the timing of material addition by watching the furnace flames to real-time analysis of flue gas and precise control of reaction states using large models, more and more steel enterprises are hopping on the fast track of intelligent transformation, expanding new spaces for high-quality development.

This vitality stems from the determination to adapt and change. The old path of relying on scale expansion to dilute costs is no longer viable; where should the future head? The steel industry is actively adapting to the new trends of industrial upgrading, focusing on new fields such as electrical steel for humanoid robots, and promoting the value of products to rise higher.

New productive forces do not only grow in emerging tracks; they can also thrive between thousand-degree furnace fires and tens of thousands of tons of steel billets. Upgrading traditional industries is also about developing new productive forces. With smarter production processes and superior product performance as support, the steel industry is sure to write even more brilliant chapters in the new round of industrial transformation.
