According to news from Ansteel, the Titanium Steel Joint Experimental Laboratory of Ansteel Group's Vanadium and Titanium (Iron and Steel) Research Institute has successfully rolled out 0.015mm ultra-thin high-temperature alloy steel (commonly known as 'tearable steel') using domestically produced cold/warm rolling experimental mills. Pangang has become the first enterprise in the western part of China with the capability to produce this product, achieving an industry-leading level in the development of high-temperature alloy steel.

As described, 'tearable steel' is as thin as a cicada's wing, approximately one-fourth the thickness of an A4 paper, and can be easily torn by hand. It is a steel material with a cost-performance ratio comparable to gold and finds extensive applications in high-end manufacturing industries such as aerospace, automotive manufacturing, and electronic devices, earning it the title of the 'gem on the crown of the steel industry.' China's demand for 'tearable steel' accounts for 80% of the global market, but due to the long-term monopoly of its core technology by foreign countries, the domestic demand for related materials often faces a challenging situation.

In recent years, Chinese steel enterprises have formed research and development teams and intensified efforts to independently develop 'tearable steel' to reverse this passive situation. Companies such as China Baowu Taiyuan Iron and Steel, Fujian Tsingtuo Technology Co., Ltd., and Guangxi Beigang New Materials Co., Ltd., have successively rolled out 'tearable steel.'
