"Under the background of the fourth industrial revolution characterized by quantitative integration, the present casting industry should adapt to new demand, new supply and new driving force, and explore a development path with innovation as the main driving force." Recently, xue linghu, President of China casting association, gave a comprehensive description of the current situation and future development trend of the casting industry.
Xue said that in the future, China's casting industry will not only become stronger, but also have more rules to follow in environmental standards, standards can be based on.
The world's largest output
Xue linghu, President of the China casting association, said that casting is the foundation of the equipment manufacturing industry, and China is a major casting country. Casting output has been the top in the world for 16 consecutive years since 2000, with the current output exceeding 45 million tons, accounting for more than 40 percent of the global total.
At present, there are about 26,000 casting enterprises in China, and the number of them is decreasing year by year. The production concentration of large-scale casting enterprises keeps increasing, among which the casting output of 4,500 enterprises ranked top takes up more than 70% of the total production. The average annual output of casting enterprises has increased from 1320 tons in 2010 to 1754 tons in 2015, and the concentration degree has been continuously improved.
Speaking of the development of the current casting industry achievements, xue ling hu introduced, casting quality steadily improved. With the improvement of technology and equipment in China's casting enterprises, the quality of casting products in China has been steadily improved. In particular, in the automobile, internal combustion engine, machine tools, power generation equipment and power, rail transit and other industrial fields, a number of large-scale, professional casting enterprises with high quality level. The independent manufacturing capacity of key castings has been further improved. Some casting's dimensions, surface quality and internal quality have reached the international advanced level, and the casting's export grade has been greatly improved.
In recent years, China's large-scale casting enterprises have generally invested in casting equipment in the process of new project construction and technological transformation. Many enterprises have adopted high-efficiency and energy-saving smelting equipment, such as automatic molding line of clay sand, large production line of self-hardening sand and advanced aluminum alloy high/low pressure casting equipment. At present, the overall equipment level of a few domestic foundry enterprises is comparable with that of foreign industrial developed countries. By virtue of advanced technology and equipment, these enterprises have supported the manufacturing of key castings for domestic main engines and major technical equipment, and become an important force capable of making key castings domestically in the fields of automobile, energy (nuclear power, wind power, hydropower, thermal power) and rail transit, and have gained international market competitiveness.
The production of raw and auxiliary materials for casting has been greatly improved. The large scale of casting production in China requires a large amount of raw and auxiliary material supply and guarantee. After years of rapid development, China's foundry raw material enterprises have become more and more specialized, forming a number of foundry raw material production bases, such as foundry pig, foundry coke, foundry sand, binder and so on. Some of the enterprise products have reached international advanced level and occupied a certain share in the international market.
The manufacturing level of domestic casting equipment and moulds has been improved significantly. To meet the development demand of domestic foundry enterprises, China's foundry equipment manufacturing level has developed rapidly. Through the introduction, cooperation, digestion of foreign advanced casting equipment and the increase of investment in independent research and development, China has formed a number of casting equipment manufacturing enterprises with independent research and development capacity. Some enterprises have advanced international standards, and while meeting the needs of domestic casting enterprises, they also export to the international market.
The concept of "green casting" sustainable development has been strengthened. During the 12th five-year plan period, the investment of China's casting enterprises in energy-saving equipment, environmental protection and safety protection facilities was significantly higher than that during the 11th five-year plan period. The concept of "green casting", such as energy saving and emission reduction, occupational health and safety, has been increasingly strengthened in the casting industry. The proportion of waste sand recycling and recycling in the casting industry has been increasing year by year.
More reasonable industrial layout. The foundry industry is more rational in its industrial layout driven by factor market. Under the background of resource and environment constraints and rising human cost, the gradient transfer of China's foundry industry to the central and western regions is accelerating, and the construction of foundry industry cluster and industrial park has been developed rapidly.
The admittance system optimizes the industrial structure
Xue linghu believes that China's casting industry is large but not strong, and although the degree of industrial concentration is constantly improving, it is still far lower than that of industrial developed countries. Due to historical reasons and development level, compared with the developed countries in our country there are a number of "" scattered, disorder and poor foundry enterprises, these enterprises are mainly small foundry enterprises, technological equipment level is relatively backward, especially environmental protection equipment configuration is not perfect, although the casting yield is low, but the pollutant total amount is accounted for absolute proportion, serious impact on the overall image and reputation of the foundry industry.
With the in-depth implementation of the "admittance system of the casting industry" in China, the industrial structure adjustment of the casting industry is intensified, the backward production capacity of the casting industry will be accelerated to be eliminated, and the number of national casting enterprises will continue to decrease. It is estimated that during the 13th five-year plan period, China's casting production will enter the medium-low speed growth stage, with the growth rate of less than 4%, and the annual output of China's casting will reach about 55 million tons by 2020. Under the new normal of medium and low speed growth of casting output, the casting material structure will be optimized step by step, in which the proportion of aluminum (magnesium) alloy and nodular cast iron will continue to increase. The annual growth rate of automobile and rail transit castings will continue to be ahead of other industries. Due to the developed industrial countries began to reshape new manufacturing competitive advantage strategy of "industrialization" and some developing countries to speed up to participate in the global industry division of labor in manufacturing industry transfer, the influence of the casting of the international trade market in China is facing severe challenges, "two-way extrusion" but casting export growth is expected to remain small amplitude, and export castings to the higher value of high-end casting direction.
Throughout the United States, Germany, Japan and other manufacturing powers, foundry and other basic manufacturing industries are its strong support to become a manufacturing power, and formed a number of industry invisible champions. China is on the road of manufacturing power development, casting and other basic manufacturing industry in supporting the building of manufacturing power to replace.
With the development of China's urbanization, new industrialization and strategic emerging industries, the development of casting industry has brought new expansion space. The state issued "made in China 2025", and the equipment manufacturing industry of China will accelerate its step towards the middle and high-end according to the strategic needs of manufacturing power, which will inevitably bring new opportunities to its basic casting industry. In addition, the implementation of the national "One Belt And One Road" strategy will create more industrial cooperation opportunities for China and the surrounding countries of "One Belt And One Road", and the casting industry will go deeper into the international market together with China's equipment. Moreover, from the perspective of the world, the new round of scientific and technological revolution will lead to the change of the way of global industrial development. The accelerated integration of Internet and traditional casting industry will accelerate the realization of intelligent casting.
The rules and regulations of the foundry industry will be followed.
In fact, the casting industry has developed rapidly in recent years, and many casting enterprises are equipped with perfect environmental protection treatment equipment, and the emission of air pollutants has been effectively treated to a certain extent. The trade association, as the mother of the enterprise, should give full play to the advantages of being familiar with the industry, timely reflect the demands of the enterprise, and guide the enterprise self-discipline. Specific measures such as comprehensive treatment of environmental protection can be adopted to strengthen the comprehensive treatment of "scattered, disorderly and poor" foundry enterprises with imperfect environmental protection equipment and substandard discharge; At the same time, in order to meet the needs of national environmental protection, we should accelerate the revision of emission standards related to the casting industry and establish a long-term mechanism to promote the environmental protection treatment of the casting industry.
The national standards for the discharge of atmospheric pollutants in the casting industry, which are set by the China casting association and commissioned by the ministry of environmental protection, will be issued at the end of 2017 and implemented in June 2018. At that time, the foundry industry emissions control work will have standards to follow.
