This invention relates to the field of membrane materials technology, specifically to a biaxially stretched polyolefin film, its preparation process, and its applications. This invention solves the problem of uneven microstructure caused by non-uniform preheating and stretching of thick gel castings in existing technologies through a specific heat-setting process. It provides a gel film precursor with uniform three-dimensional properties (i.e., along the film production line's forward direction, width direction, and thickness direction) for subsequent stretching, thereby obtaining a microporous membrane with narrower pore size distribution and a more regular structure. It also solves the problem of the limiting stretching ratio restricted by the accumulation of stress within the connecting chains in existing stretching processes. By relaxing stress and widening the process safety window, it enables higher-ratio uniform biaxial stretching, thereby improving the final mechanical strength (such as tensile strength) and air permeability of the microporous membrane.
