China's forging industry has gradually stepped into a world power

For many years, the forging industry has the unclear concept of the industry and the confusion between academic concepts and industry concepts. With the development of the forging industry, the concept of the industry within the forging industry has become more and more clear. This is an important symbol for the development of the forging industry. In industrialized countries, the forging industry is the general name for the forging, stamping, sheet metal, and production industries.

During the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, the forging industry output increased at a rate of about 20%. Even in the financial crisis of 2008-2009, China's forging industry has maintained a substantial increase. As the basic industry of machinery manufacturing industry, forging industry has an important influence on equipment manufacturing and national defense construction, and it is also an important symbol of the degree of international industrialization. China has become a large country in the world forging industry, but it cannot be called the world forging industry. Strong country. With the development of China's market economy and equipment manufacturing industry, the forging industry has made great progress.

1. Resolve large forgings required for major equipment in China

China has more than 140 hydraulic machines with more than 8MN, among which there are 9 sets of 60MN-125MN presses, 600MW subcritical thermal power units, 700MN water motors all large forgings production capacity, 150MN hydraulic machines put into use, and the corresponding supporting equipment and technology level After that, it will be able to produce 550-600 tons of steel ingots, produce 300 tons of high-quality forgings, and gradually meet the large forgings of 700MW hydropower, 1000MW nuclear power and supercritical thermal power units that are all imported.

Due to the demand of the market, many places have blindly on the 20MN-60MN free-forging hydraulic presses, which have begun to show signs of oversupply and vicious competition. The production of free forgings has high energy consumption and heavy environmental pollution, and can no longer be blindly launched.

2. Intensify the transformation of die forging production to form the main force for building a forging power.

China's die forging production enterprises, some of the backbone enterprises use hot die forging presses, and correspondingly equipped with operating manipulators and multi-station hot forming presses, most companies still use double disc friction press equipped with air hammer prepared Peide. The manual operation of the production process affects the precision of the forgings, the life of the die, and the quality stability of the forgings. As a result, forging also faces a domestic development opportunity in the global industry due to the development of the automotive industry. Luo Baihui suggested that forging companies increase the technical transformation of enterprises, vigorously adopt clutch-driven screw presses and hot die forging presses that can control the energy, and use wedge cross-rolling, roll forging blanks, and gradually transfer workpieces to manual operations. Automatic operation transition. From new materials (non-quenched and tempered steel) applications, shearing, heating, mold preheating, lubrication, forging process control, heat treatment and cleaning of forgings, and continuous transformation. China's forging industry has increased the overall competitiveness on the basis of having a considerable capacity.

During the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, the Chinese forging industry must focus on the construction of entrepreneurs, technicians, and workers, and advocate learning and reform; it must pay attention to the self-control capability of forging equipment; it must focus on preventing low-grade redundant construction; must pay attention to basic theoretical technology And practical application of technology research and development. The Chinese forging industry during the 12th Five-Year Plan will be full of opportunities, challenges and vitality!
