Recently, a series of exciting news came from the forging industry, not only made new patent breakthroughs in traditional processes, but also demonstrated cutting-edge technologies and future development trends at the industry conference, injecting new vitality into the future development of the forging industry.
In terms of technological innovation, Fujian Chaoda Forging Co., Ltd. has obtained a patent called "a forging mold for ball valve bonnet molding". Through the unique design, including the movable frame, movable plate and spring structure, this patent effectively slows down the loss of the mold during the mold ejection process and prolongs the service life of the mold. This innovation not only improves production efficiency, but also reduces production costs, bringing significant economic benefits to the forging industry.
At the same time, at the "2024 China Forging Conference - National Forging Enterprise Directors Conference" hosted by China Forging Association and co-organized by Wuxi Hangya Technology Co., Ltd., more than 150 enterprises and nearly 300 representatives from all over the country gathered together to discuss the digital transformation and intelligent upgrading of the forging industry. Focusing on the theme of "Accelerating Digital Intelligence Transformation and Deepening Quality and Efficiency Improvement", the conference launched 20 high-quality technical reports, covering the macroeconomic situation, the development trend of the forging industry, production technology, equipment, materials and other levels. Participants said that this meeting provided a rare opportunity for the forging industry to communicate and learn, and helped to promote the overall progress of the industry.
During the conference, a small exhibition of advanced technology and products was also held, which provided sufficient opportunities for face-to-face communication between enterprises. The delegates had a warm exchange and were still unsatisfied, which provided an opportunity and paving the way for future negotiations and cooperation. After the conference, the participants also visited Wuxi Hangya Technology Co., Ltd. and the "China International Metal Forming Exhibition" to learn more about the latest technologies and products in the forging industry.
In addition, a number of outstanding enterprises and individuals have emerged in the forging industry. At the "2024 China Forging Conference", the 2024 forging outstanding engineers and outstanding team leaders were selected and commended, and these outstanding workers have made outstanding contributions in their respective positions and set an example for the development of the industry.
It is worth mentioning that the forging industry plays a pivotal role in major national projects. Taking Baotou Steel as an example, as one of the first three major iron and steel enterprises in New China, Baotou Steel has not only ended the history of China's non-production of large-diameter seamless steel pipes in the course of 70 years, but also created a precedent for China's production of 60 kg per meter of steel rails and 75 kg of steel rails per meter. Today, Baotou Steel's rare earth steel products have broken the long-term monopoly of foreign countries on high-quality special steel products, providing strong support for the realization of China's dream of becoming an industrial power.
