Steel fiber manufacturer

From October 23rd to 24th, 2025, the first Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) Technical Training Session, organized by the China Concrete and Cement Products Association (CCPA) in conjunction with its UHPC Division, was successfully concluded in Wuhan. Ganzhou Daye Metal Fibers, as a corporate representative deeply involved in the field of engineering materials, had the privilege of joining over 120 industry peers from more than 60 companies, research institutes, and universities, immersing ourselves in this technological feast covering theory, practice, and cutting-edge trends.

Experts Lead the Way, Unveiling the Core of UHPC Technology
The opening ceremony was highly inspiring, particularly the address by Mr. Zhang Guozhi, Chairman of the CCPA UHPC Division. His perspective that "UHPC is not just a high-performance material, but also a conceptual innovation in the field of structural engineering" precisely captured the core value of this new material. The training was delivered entirely by Mr. Zhao Jun, Secretary-General of the CCPA UHPC Division. Seven thematic courses systematically covered the entire chain of UHPC technology, including its origins, production processes, performance characteristics, quality control, standards and specifications, and low-carbon applications. From theoretical principles to the industrial landscape, from technical challenges to innovation directions, the detailed explanations provided us with a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of UHPC technology, offering clear guidance for our company's subsequent R&D and product optimization.

(During the conference, we saw our own product, Daye's copper-plated end-hooked steel fibers – a familiar sight and a trusted formula.)

Field Study Deepens the Integration of Theory and Practice
To translate theoretical knowledge into practical application capabilities, the training specially included a field study segment. We followed instructors and peers to the CCCC Second Harbor Engineering Bureau Technology Center Laboratory, observing the UHPC production process and performance testing up close. Subsequently, we visited the Wuhan Shuangliu Bridge UHPC application project site, witnessing firsthand the real-world implementation of this technology in a major bridge engineering project. The direct observation of engineering cases, coupled with professional technical explanations, allowed us to deeply appreciate the excellent performance of UHPC – its high strength, high toughness, and high durability. It also clarified the crucial role of metal fibers in reinforcing and toughening UHPC materials, providing valuable practical references for aligning our products with market demands.

Exchange and Empowerment, Jointly Exploring New Chapters in Industrial Development
The interactive exchange sessions during the training were vibrant. Technical experts and scholars from various fields engaged in in-depth discussions on the pain points and challenges in UHPC technology application, sharing valuable experiences from their own engineering practices. We also seized this opportunity to fully communicate with peers regarding the compatibility of metal fibers with UHPC, application process optimization, and other issues. This not only yielded many constructive suggestions but also helped establish promising intentions for industry collaboration. After passing the assessment, we received training completion certificates issued by CCPA. These certificates are not only recognition of our learning achievements but also motivation for our continued deep engagement in the UHPC field.

As an important practical vehicle for "new quality productive forces" in the field of engineering materials, Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC), leveraging its core advantages of high strength, high toughness, and high durability, is progressively breaking the limitations of traditional materials. It is demonstrating application prospects with immense potential in critical sectors such as bridge engineering, building structures, wind power infrastructure, and municipal renovation, becoming a significant engine driving industry transformation and upgrading.

This training trip to Wuhan was led personally by Mr. Liu Zhaoxiang, General Manager of Ganzhou Daye Metal Fibers. The team participated deeply throughout with an attitude of "immersive learning and targeted absorption." Through systematic training, we not only gradually clarified the entire technical logic chain of UHPC materials – from mix design and production processes to engineering applications – but also precisely identified core trends in the industry's development towards low-carbon practices, standardization, and scaling. In particular, we recognized that the performance compatibility and application process optimization of metal fibers, as a key reinforcing component in UHPC, have become crucial factors affecting project quality and cost control.

Looking ahead, Ganzhou Daye Metal Fibers will use the outcomes of this training as a new starting point, translating the acquired technical key points and industry insights into concrete paths for product innovation: On one hand, we will continue to delve into the microstructural optimization and performance enhancement of metal fibers, improving product synergy and compatibility with different UHPC mix ratios through customized R&D. On the other hand, we will closely follow low-carbon development requirements, exploring more efficient and environmentally friendly production processes. With a product matrix focused on "high performance + greenization," we aim to provide solid material support for high-quality projects in bridges, wind power, municipal works, and other fields. We look forward to joining hands with industry peers to collectively promote the progression of China's UHPC industry from technological innovation to large-scale application, writing a new chapter in engineering material upgrading on a broader track.
