1. Niobium: "Core Base Material" for Superconducting Energy Equipment

Niobium's core advantage lies in its high superconducting critical temperature. Niobium and niobium alloys made from it are the core materials of superconducting magnets, which can achieve zero-resistance conduction in low-temperature environments and provide strong magnetic field support for energy equipment. Application scenarios focus on superconducting magnet coils of nuclear fusion devices (such as tokamak devices), which constrain high-temperature plasma through strong magnetic fields; superconducting magnets of nuclear magnetic resonance (MRI) energy systems to ensure stable operation of equipment; in addition, it can also be used as the core conductor of superconducting power transmission cables to reduce power transmission loss. The niobium plates, niobium strips, niobium crucibles, niobium stamping parts and customized processed parts produced by Baoji Yunjie have a superconducting critical temperature of ≥9.2K and a critical magnetic field strength of ≥14T, with zero resistance in liquid nitrogen low-temperature environment, fully meeting the performance requirements of superconducting energy equipment.

2. Tungsten: "First Line of Defense" in Extreme Nuclear Fusion Environments

Tungsten has extremely strong resistance to high-temperature plasma bombardment, can withstand extreme high temperatures of 150 million ℃, and has excellent neutron radiation resistance, playing a key protective role in nuclear fusion devices. It is mainly used as the first wall material of nuclear fusion devices to directly resist high-temperature plasma erosion; target materials and shielding components of nuclear reactors to reduce neutron radiation leakage; it can also be used as combustion chamber components of high-temperature hydrogen power generation equipment to withstand high-temperature gas scouring. The high-purity tungsten plates (purity over 99.95%), tungsten rods, tungsten crucibles and customized tungsten special-shaped parts produced by Baoji Yunjie have a mechanical property retention rate of ≥85% after neutron irradiation, and no melting damage on the surface under short-term bombardment of 150 million ℃ plasma, providing safety guarantee for extreme energy environments.

3. Zirconium: "Safety Barrier" of Nuclear Reactors

Zirconium has an extremely low neutron absorption cross-section (only 0.18 barn), which can reduce neutron loss and improve nuclear reaction efficiency. At the same time, it has excellent radiation corrosion resistance, making it the core material of nuclear reactor fuel assemblies. Application scenarios include nuclear reactor fuel rod cladding tubes, which protect nuclear fuel from leakage without affecting neutron transmission; heat transfer tubes of nuclear reactor cooling systems, which efficiently transfer heat in radiation environments; it can also be used as containers for nuclear waste treatment equipment to avoid radiation leakage. The zirconium alloy tubes, zirconium plates, zirconium strips, zirconium flanges and customized processed parts produced by Baoji Yunjie, after processing by downstream customers, have an annual corrosion rate of ≤0.005mm when applied in nuclear reactor working conditions, and the neutron absorption efficiency meets nuclear industry standards, ensuring the safe and stable operation of reactors.

4. Nickel: "Structural Core" of High-Temperature Energy Equipment

As the core base material of superalloys, nickel has excellent creep resistance and corrosion resistance to liquid metals, making it indispensable in high-temperature energy equipment. Application scenarios include turbine blades of ultra-supercritical generator sets, which maintain structural stability under high temperature and pressure above 600℃; liquid metal cooling system pipelines of nuclear reactors, which resist corrosion of cooling media such as liquid sodium; it can also be used as high-temperature heat collecting tubes of solar thermal power generation, which can withstand high temperatures and resist creep. The nickel and nickel alloy rods, nickel crucibles, nickel alloy tubes, nickel customized processed parts and nickel stamping parts of Baoji Yunjie have a creep rate of ≤0.01%/1000h at 700℃, and an annual loss of ≤0.02mm due to corrosion resistance to liquid sodium, adapting to the long-term service needs of high-temperature energy equipment.
