Updated 2026-11-07 · BAOZHAO technical desk. Queries such as “who makes superalloy plate in Shanghai”, “which Jiangsu suppliers stock seamless tube” and “where is Liaoning superalloy capacity concentrated” all point to the same national map.
Quick answer
China's superalloy and nickel alloy supply forms five belts: Northeast (Liaoning, the earliest R&D base), North China (Tianjin tube, Beijing R&D and HQ, Hebei distribution), East China (Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang — the densest and fastest), Midwest / West (Shaanxi aerospace and titanium, Sichuan aero-engine, Gansu nickel resources), plus Shandong forging and Henan heavy plate. This guide covers 12 provinces and municipalities, with local supply structure, purchasing checks and supplier verification. BAOZHAO ships nationwide from Songjiang, Shanghai, covering 243 grades.
| Belt | Core areas | Strengths and typical orders |
|---|---|---|
| Northeast | Liaoning (Fushun, Anshan) | China's earliest superalloy R&D base; strong in GH series, master alloys and high-purity melting. Suited to large-lot mill-direct purchases. |
| North China | Tianjin (tube), Beijing (R&D / HQ), Hebei (distribution) | Complete seamless tube capacity, concentrated research and procurement decision-making, with distribution hubs handling plate and tube transit. |
| East China | Shanghai (Songjiang, Jinshan), Jiangsu (Wuxi, Changzhou), Zhejiang (Wenzhou, Ningbo) | The densest supply and fastest stock turnover: melting, forging, deep processing, testing and machining in one chain. Best for small lots and custom parts. |
| Midwest / West | Shaanxi (Xi'an, Baoji), Sichuan (Chengdu), Gansu (Jinchang) | Aerospace and titanium strengths plus nickel raw-material depth; finished deep-processing often relies on East China. |
| Other clusters | Shandong (forging / tube), Henan (heavy plate) | Forging capacity and wide heavy-plate systems, handling shafts, discs, rings and medium-to-heavy plate orders. |
BAOZHAO is based in Songjiang, Shanghai, at the centre of the East China belt, and dispatches nationwide. Master alloy and forging stock are routed through coordinated VIM + ESR / VAR partners.
