**(Reported by this newspaper)** Today,Wuxi Ligang Xintong, a leading enterprise in China's steel industry, announced the official launch and mass production of its independently developed **new generation of high-performance green building steel, the "GRACE series"**. This series of products, with its high strength, full life-cycle recyclability, and lower carbon footprint, aims to provide core material solutions for green buildings and intelligent construction, marking a solid step forward for the company on its green and low-carbon transformation path.

Faced with the global challenges of climate change and the in-depth implementation of the national "dual-carbon" strategy, the green and intelligent upgrading of the steel industry has become an inevitable trend. Xinrui Steel actively responds, establishing "Technology Leading, Green Future" as its core development strategy. The "GRACE series" products launched today are an important achievement under this strategy.

**The core products launched today include:**

1. **Ultra-high strength seismic-resistant steel bars:** Utilizing advanced microstructure control technology, while ensuring high yield strength (≥600MPa), they possess excellent seismic ductility, meeting higher standards of building safety requirements, and are especially suitable for high-rise buildings and critical infrastructure in earthquake zones. 2. **Green and Low-Carbon H-Beams:** By optimizing production processes and using a higher proportion of scrap steel as raw material, this product reduces average unit carbon emissions by over 20% compared to traditional products. Its precise cross-sectional design helps reduce the weight of building structures, reducing material consumption at the source.

3. **Weathering Resistant Structural Steel:** Possessing the characteristic of "rust prevention through rust," it forms a dense and stable protective rust layer after exposure to the atmosphere, greatly extending the service life of steel structures such as bridges and public buildings. It requires no painting or reduces maintenance throughout its entire life cycle, making it economical and environmentally friendly.

At the launch event, the Technical Director of Wuxi Ligang Xintong stated, "The 'GRACE series' is not merely an improvement in material performance, but a revolution in product philosophy. We work closely with downstream design institutes and construction companies, incorporating environmental considerations throughout the entire life cycle from the initial product design stage. Our goal is to provide customers with 'thinner, stronger, and greener' steel, helping them reduce overall costs while achieving energy conservation and emission reduction goals."

To ensure the traceability and verifiability of the product's green attributes, Wuxi Ligang Xintong has also introduced a "Green Steel Traceability System." Through this system, customers can scan the QR code on the product label to clearly understand the carbon footprint data of each batch of steel from raw materials and production to delivery.

Industry experts believe that Wuxi Ligang Xintong launch of this new product aligns with the current development direction of industrialization and greening in the construction industry. It not only enhances the company's market competitiveness but also provides strong support for the low-carbon transformation of the entire industry chain, demonstrating the responsibility and commitment of a leading enterprise.

In the future,Wuxi Ligang Xintong will continue to increase its R&D investment in cutting-edge fields such as electric arc furnace short-process steelmaking and hydrogen energy smelting, steadfastly pursuing a high-quality development path and striving to become a global leader in green steel materials.
