At the conference, representatives from Jinchuan Group Precision Copper Products Company shared experiences in overcoming challenges in producing super large-diameter copper-nickel alloy seamless pipes, attracting widespread attention within the industry. There are few domestic enterprises capable of producing super large-diameter copper-nickel alloy seamless pipes throughout the entire production process. Currently, the company can produce those with a maximum diameter of 508mm.

With the global trend towards large-scale and deep-sea marine engineering, as well as the shipbuilding industry transitioning to high tonnage and nuclear power, the demand for corrosion-resistant, highly efficient heat exchange, large-diameter and high-precision copper-nickel alloy pipes will continue to grow. The company aims to produce copper-nickel alloy pipes with a short process, high efficiency, low cost and high quality. It has successfully developed copper-nickel alloy seamless pipes with diameters of 419mm, 457mm and 508mm, with lengths exceeding 6,000mm, filling the domestic gap in this field.
