Is the knife broken normally?

According to public information, "Zhang Xiaoquan" has now become a modern life hardware manufacturing enterprise integrating design, research and development, production, sales and service. Products.

On September 6, 2021, Zhang Xiaoquan was listed on the GEM and was known as the "first share of scissors". On the first day of listing, Zhang Xiaoquan's stock price opened 331.88%to 29.80 yuan/share, with a total market value of 4.6 billion yuan. However, the company's stock prices have fallen all the way. As of July 14, 2022, Zhang Xiaoquan's stock price was 17.02 yuan, with a total market value of 2.655 billion, and the stock price and market value have shrunk sharply.

In terms of business performance, Zhang Xiaoquan rely on "selling scissors" to achieve revenue of 314 million yuan, 410 million yuan, 484 million yuan and 572 million yuan in 2017-2020, respectively.

In 2021, Zhang Xiaoquan achieved revenue of 760 million yuan, an increase of 32.81%over the previous year; the net profit of the same period was 78.73 million yuan, a slight increase of 1.96%compared with the same period of the previous year; the sales of hardware products for sales reached 55.67 million.

China News Weekly contacted Zhang Xiaoquan, and the other party said that according to the company's closed -loop quality management system, the in -depth analysis of the products involved were generally judged as follows:

The steel of this product is 50cr15mov, and the process and product are positioned as high -hardness and good sharpness. Generally speaking, the toughness of such positioning tools will be relatively poor (commonly known as "brittle"); second, if in, if in, if you are in, if you are in, if you are in, if you are in, During the use process, under the situation where the surface of the tool is uneven, the pressure of the knife body becomes larger. Because the knife is high, the tool cannot release the internal force through the deformation, which can easily lead to a knife break. Of course, the factors that affect the cutting of the knife also have many variable factors such as the volume, form, hardness, hardness, and the position and area of ​​the knife body.

A metallurgical industry practitioner told China News Weekly that 50cr15mov (5 chromium and 15 molybdenum steel steel) is a high -quality stainless steel material, of which C -CARBON is carbon component, which determines the strength of the steel; CR -chromium is chromium, which affects corrosion corrosion Sexual and sharp persistence; Mo -Molybdenom is the ingredient of molybdenum to increase the strength of steel; V -Vanadium is the ingredients of ingredients to increase the strength of steel. 50 represents the percentage of carbon content, 15 represents the percentage of chromium content. The higher the carbon content, the higher the hardness of the tool, the higher the metal content, and the relatively stronger toughness and corrosion resistance, make the tool's performance superiority and longer service life. "The material hardness and toughness are inversely proportional. The higher the hardness, the worse the toughness. The cutting knife requires the hardness, and the thinner the blade, the better, but the consequences of this is the difference in steel toughness, which is particularly crispy, to avoid bumps." The person said.

Qin Wei, the founder of Qin Weiwei Lanzhou beef noodles, pointed out that if a kitchen knife does use special materials, it should be specified and the ingredients suitable for chopping should be indicated.

Zhang Xiaoquan said that the company's current tool products will give the guidelines for product use. In the future, the transmission of product information on the sales side will be strengthened to ensure that each consumer can choose the product that is best for themselves and the scene.
