To fully reflect the concept of green and low-carbon hosting of the Beijing Winter Olympics, the construction of the Beijing Winter Olympics venues includes auxiliary facilities. The primary materials used are high-quality steel with high strength, toughness, and high corrosion resistance. The total amount of steel used in constructing the Winter Olympics venues and main supporting projects exceeded one million tons. Many large iron and steel enterprises in China and some enterprises with particularly competitive advantages have participated in guaranteeing the supply of steel for the Olympics. By participating in the guarantee of the collection of steel for the Winter Olympics, the adjustment and upgrading of the structure of steel varieties have been promoted. For example, the heavy steel structures have replaced the original reinforced concrete, and the use of higher-strength steel has brought about a reduction in steel production. Doubling the strength of steel means that its dosage will be reduced by half, and if its corrosion resistance is doubled, its life will be doubled. It can be seen how significant this is for energy conservation and environmental protection.
