The Development Of Construction Machinery Industry Poses New Challenges To China'S Construction Machinery Casting Production

In the manufacturing industry, a seemingly insignificant casting often has a huge and wide range of uses. From the daily life of lamps and lanterns, hardware, electronics, to a variety of high-end equipment, such as "nine days occupy the moon, five oceans catch turtles", casting is indispensable, the application is also expanding. 

Construction machinery is an important part of equipment manufacturing industry, widely used in national defense construction projects, transportation construction, energy industry construction and production, mining and other raw material industry construction and production, agriculture, forestry and water conservancy construction, industrial and civil construction, urban construction, environmental protection and other fields. But what do you know about construction machine castings? In fact, castings are widely used in construction machinery and are very important for transmission and hydraulic systems. 

Construction machinery casting mainly includes gearbox housing, pump impeller, hydraulic torque converter regulating wheel and turbine, driving axle housing and valve body, the valve body is the most commonly used and core components in construction machinery. There are hundreds of construction machinery parts, such as support, planetary frame, differential housing, differential cover, wheel hub, diesel engine body, cylinder head and so on, all of which are produced by casting, it can be said that castings can be seen everywhere in construction machinery.

With the adjustment of industrial structure and improvement of research and development capacity, China's construction machinery is advancing in high-end, large and intelligent, and its global influence is growing. In recent years, the products of construction Machinery Castings are more and more complete, and the innovation ability is constantly enhanced. 

Affected by the epidemic, China Construction Machinery Industry Association predicts that the market demand for domestic construction machinery casting industry will increase in the second half of 2020 compared with the first half of 2020. In 2020, the operating income of Chinese construction machinery will increase slightly on the basis of 2019, but the growth rate will decrease about 5 percentage points based on the original forecast of 7% ~ 8%. 

In 2020, the report of relevant departments proposed to focus on supporting the construction of "two new and one important" projects, namely new infrastructure, new urbanization, transportation, water conservancy and other major projects. The construction of "two new and one heavy" will greatly promote the development of construction machinery industry. Accordingly, the market demand of construction machinery casting will also increase, and usher in new opportunities.

The development of construction machinery industry presents new challenges for the production of construction machinery castings, which also brings broad market. The gap between Chinese construction machinery enterprises and foreign famous brands mainly lies in the manufacturing ability of core parts, and enterprises with core parts production ability will have more competitive advantages in the future. 

Although great progress has been made, the industrial basis of construction machinery castings in China is still weak. It is urgent to accelerate the improvement of the technical innovation ability and quality level of construction machinery castings, promote the integration of production, education, research and use, strive for innovation and speed through intelligent and digital Dongfeng, especially increase the research and development of high added value, high performance high-end castings and complex structural parts.
