Overview

Erzhong is a manufacturer of numerous aggregates for Chinese infrastructure, including critical one. It includes nuclear power plants projects, crankshafts for cargo ships, hydroelectric power turbines blades. Yet one of its unique achievements is a 22,00-ton steel hydraulic press forge that is used for production of bulkheads, landing gear, engine parts for China's Air Force and commercial passenger planes. It was suggested it can be used for aircraft carriers production, armor plating, spacecraft, and high-presure mining tools.[2]
