According to the US "Automotive News" reported on April 12, the Continental Group opened a new R&D center of about 6039 square meters (about a football field size) in San Jose, California, in the Silicon Valley of the United States to expand its presence. The map of Silicon Valley. Alloy pipe is a kind of seamless Steel Pipe, its performance is much higher than that of general seamless steel pipe, because this type of steel pipe contains more Cr, its high temperature resistance, low temperature resistance, corrosion resistance performance is much better than other Steel pipe, so the alloy pipe is widely used in petroleum, aerospace, chemical, electric power, boiler, military and other industries.

Launched on the 12th of this month, the R&D center is the first office to accommodate more than 300 employees in five departments, aiming to implement various departments within the group – Chassis Safety Systems, Interior, Powertrain Systems, Tires. R&D cooperation between the ministry and the rubber and plastics team. “We believe that if the various departments are put together to work together, the entire group will have a strong creativity.†Continental Group North American CEO Samir Salman said in an interview with Automotive News. Samir Salman said that he can't disclose the scale of investment in the Continental Group's San Jose R&D center, but the group will invest tens of millions of dollars each year in the management of various departments in Silicon Valley, including employee compensation.
Continental has entered Silicon Valley since 2014, and its number of employees in the Santa Clara Valley has reached 60. These employees will move into the R&D center with several engineers from other Continental Group locations. It is expected that the remaining 70% of employees will be recruited from the Bay Area and nearby universities. Salman estimates that the number of employees in the R&D center will reach 120 by the end of this year, and the entire center will be saturated by 2020. Dirk Remde, the group's former chassis electronic business director, will serve as an executive director of the center.
Salman also said that the establishment of this research and development center is conducive to strengthening the cooperation between the mainland and surrounding technology companies and universities in the field of automatic driving.
Alloy steel is steel that is alloyed with a variety of elements in total amounts between 1.0% and 50% by weight to improve its mechanical properties. Alloy steels are broken down into two groups: low-alloy steels and high-alloy steels. The difference between the two is somewhat arbitrary: Smith and Hashemi define the difference at 4.0%, while Degarmo, et al., define it at 8.0%.Most commonly, the phrase "alloy steel" refers to low-alloy steels.
