> China has begun independent mass production of high-end specialty steels for marine, aerospace and electronics applications, strengthening domestic supply chains. Researchers developed steel with greater resistance to brittleness and corrosion, including ultra-thin material for IC substrates and 5G receivers and low-expansion steel for aircraft molds. Seven new high-end steel types made major breakthroughs this year, with products also entering electric vehicles, humanoid robots and energy storage.
