1, the state of special metal materials tantalum and niobium Engineering Research Center, the construction of a comprehensive 8 August 2005, the state of special metal materials tantalum and niobium Engineering Research Center for the opening ceremony! In Ningxia Orient Nonferrous Metals Group, was held. Ningxia Autonomous Region Vice-President Zhang Wu, Science and Technology Department Director Liu Huan, Shizuishan City Acting Mayor Tian, and Ningxia Orient Nonferrous Metals Group Chairman He Jilin, inaugurated the center, marking the special state of tantalum and niobium Metal MaterialEngineering Technology Research Center building has already begun.

National TantalumNiobium Special Metal Materials Engineering Research Center by the National Science and Technology approved the formation of the Chinese materials, tantalum and niobium metal beryllium areas and industrial areas in Ningxia Autonomous Region No. 1 National Engineering Research Center.Engineering Center of Ningxia Oriental Non-ferrous Metal Group Company will appeal to marketoriented aimed at breakthroughs in metal smelting and processing of special key technologies, continuous research, development and engineering performance to the platform for industry innovation Building the whole sector scientific and technological progress and drive new product development, China’s specialty metals technology to increase.

Ningxia Orient Non-Ferrous Metals Group Company is a research, production and technology development as a national large scale enterprise group metals, tantalum, niobium, beryllium and its alloys and specialty metals is strong in areas such as research and development of the capacity in the domestic same industry in the leading position in technology. Ningxia Orient TantalumNiobium Nonferrous Metals Group, the country will be special metal Material Engineering Technology Research Center set up as a turning point. The formation of the Engineering Center and the Group restructuring, optimization of resources, combining full use of the group 40 years and accumulated rich experience and preliminary scientific research and development of science and technology innovation platform built where the integration of affordable learning center construction performed in all members of the unit technical, research and development institutions and other resources, equipment, facilities and conditions for integration and improvement of various facilities, for a rational engineering research environment to establish research and development and scientific research to provide a good environment and a strong guarantee and strive to improve the overall technological innovation, so this project center in a tantalum, niobium, beryllium special metals smelting and processing technologies and supporting the development of innovative equipment, the main results of the use of an incubator to promote new technologies to market and promote China special metal materials technological progress and industrial upgrading.

2, colored Ningxia Orient Tantalum target the international market to open up new areas for the application of beryllium and niobium Commissioned by the State Science and Technology, Ningxia Autonomous Region Science and Technology department recently held an expert in the northwestern Ningxia Oriental Non- Ferrous Metals Group Company Owned Rare Metal Materials Research Institute with niobium superconducting cavity plate production technology development “project was carried out on site inspection. The project has a total investment of 3.5 billion U.S. dollars level for the hundreds of millions of electron volts of the world’s largest superconducting linear accelerator project superconducting niobium sheet manufacturing process research and technological development require to be implemented.Superconducting linear accelerator project is a targeted cross-border cooperation, built in Hamburg, Germany, total length of 33 km, engineering, must be about 500 tons of niobium sheet consume. The project is completed, it will be much easier for physics, chemistry, materials science, environmental and earth sciences, structural biology and many other areas of scientific and technological progress to nuclear waste disposal problem.

Experts believe that the superconducting niobium cavity plate production technology research and development success has opened up new applications of our areas of niobium material to holes in the study of China so that new materials China’s filling, manufacturing techniques quickly with international practice.Through participation in international cooperation projects, thus preventing the formation of tantalum powder in Ningxia, tantalum wire, tantalum and tantalum Strip Products, and superconducting materials such as tantalum a wide range of high-tech products, systems, and full access to international markets to stabilize thetantalum and niobium country in the world top three position.

Through “with niobium superconducting cavity plate production technology development, the implementation of the project, the Northwest Rare Metal Materials Research Institute formed a stable performance superconducting niobium sheet manufacturing process technology, impurity, control of residual resistivity, grain size, control the yield strength and hardness of the control to innovative results. In the manufacturing technology, product performance reached the international advanced level, the material basis for linear accelerator.

If a set of scientific research, production and technology development as one of the nation’s largest tantalum, niobium and generating the only scientific research and production base of non-ferrous metals berylliumNingxia Orient Group Co., Ltd., based on independent innovation, achieve innovation and development.

In recent years to develop after an uninterrupted SELFDEVELOPMENT and technological research tracking a number of international development, technology leadership to the needs of domestic and international market of new products meet a tantalum powder and tantalum wire of high quality, technological modernization objectives. Tantalum powder of its flagship product, the market reached 70,000 hematocrit application level, hematocrit level of research to reach 15,000 or more in the leading international ranks. They developed new products, the semiconductor target with tantalum and niobium, nickel hydroxide, magnesium alloy and the processing of special materials and so on, has become the promotion of economic growth in Ningxia, a new ray of hope. The company has 14 national patents, 3 international patents. Last year, the Ministry of Science and formally approved Ningxia Orient Non-Ferrous Metals Group Co., Ltd. as “special state-level TantalumNiobium Metal Material Engineering Technology Research Center” group also proposed a “demonstration base of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region of the international scientific cooperation. ”
