3. Upstream and downstream industrial chain

The upstream raw materials of the forging equipment industry are mainly steel plates, forgings, castings, etc. If the price of steel rises, the production cost of the industry will be increased accordingly. At the same time, the technical level and supply capacity of upstream raw materials also have a certain impact on the operation of the industry. The application field of downstream industry is very extensive, and its product application involves almost all industries of the national economy, mainly concentrated in the automobile, shipbuilding, aerospace, rail transit, energy, petrochemical and other industries.

2. forging machinery manufacturing industry competition pattern

1. Head enterprise

In the field of global forging equipment, a few countries such as the United States and Germany have mastered the most advanced equipment manufacturing technology and are in a leading position in the world. The main foreign forging equipment manufacturers are Germany's West Markmeier, Germany's Muller Wanjiaton, Germany.LASCOAjax of the United States, Vakari of Italy, Volonesh heavy machinery of Russia, heavy forging machinery of Russia, etc.

In terms of technological innovation and equipment manufacturing process, China's forging equipment industry is still in a state of tracking and catching up. For example, major innovations and breakthroughs in the field of forming technology have come from abroad, including3DPrinting technology, hydraulic forming technology, ultra-high strength steel plate hot stamping technology, etc.

The main domestic heavy forging equipment manufacturing enterprises include Jinan No.2 Machine Tool, Shanxi Taizhong, China No.1 Heavy, China No.2 Heavy, Hefei Forging Group, Yangli Group, AVIC Heavy Machinery, etc.

Expected2023In the first quarter of the year, Taiyuan Heavy Industry's operating income was39.3Billions of yuan, down year-on-year74.17%。

3. forging machinery manufacturing industry technology trends

1. Precision

Precision refers to the use of precision forging technology can reduce raw material consumption, reduce processing waste, improve product accuracy, but also improve the service life of the mold, reduce energy consumption, thereby reducing costs. Germany, Japan and other developed countries through hot die forging presses, warm forging, cold forging presses and fine blanking presses and other precision forging equipment and precision forging technology to produce forging products with a high level of precision, can produce tolerances less than ±1%The precision of the forging diameter can reach0.02mmAbove, parts machining allowance is only left0.3mmThe amount of grinding is truly near net-shaped.

2. Efficiency

High efficiency refers to the combination of high-speed and composite to improve the processing efficiency of products. In order to achieve efficient production, developed countries such as Germany and Japan have developed forging machines with faster beats and higher speeds. For example, the production beat of small high-speed punching machines produced by Japan Electric Power Jingli Machinery Co., Ltd. can reach4000spm; The second is to develop forging equipment using composite processing technology, which effectively combines die punching with laser cutting. Multiple processes such as punching, punching, shallow stretching, flanging, cutting, etc. can be completed by feeding the workpiece at one time, thus saving auxiliary operation time to the greatest extent and greatly improving production efficiency. For example, Germany, Japan and the United States have successively developed laser blanking composite machine tools and put them into the market.

3. Green energy saving

Green energy saving refers to reducing energy consumption and environmental pollution on the premise of ensuring product quality and performance. Energy saving and emission reduction is a common topic in the world, so the energy saving of forging machinery is of great significance. Forging and forming need to overcome the huge deformation resistance, the traditional general press volume is huge, high energy consumption. The electric servo drive press brings new hope for energy-saving of forging machinery. The electric servo drive press removes the flywheel, clutch and brake, and the structure is greatly simplified. Not only the slider motion characteristics are arbitrarily adjustable, but also the energy-saving effect is obvious. At present, the electric servo direct drive technology has been applied to various presses such as screw press, punching machine, hydraulic press, cross wedge rolling machine, bending machine and so on.

Development Prospect of 4. Forging Machinery Manufacturing Industry

1. Equipment upgrade

With the change of domestic and foreign market demand and the progress of technology, the forging machinery manufacturing industry is facing the demand of equipment upgrading. On the one hand, downstream users have higher and higher requirements for product quality, accuracy, efficiency, etc., and need more advanced, smarter, and more environmentally friendly forging equipment to meet; on the other hand, the manufacturing equipment held by domestic industrial enterprises is general Machine tools are the mainstay, and the numerical control rate of the equipment is generally less10%It is far below the world average, and it is necessary to accelerate the transformation and upgrading of digitalization, intelligence, and networking.

2. Import substitution and export growth

Because foreign forging equipment manufacturing enterprises have great advantages in technological innovation and equipment manufacturing process, China's high-end forging equipment market is still dependent on imports. However, after a long period of technology accumulation, the basic conditions for China's forging equipment manufacturing industry to achieve import substitution have been met. Import substitution will be one of the main drivers of industry growth. To2022High-end CNC machine tools for aerospace, marine, automotive and power generation equipment80%Above to be based on domestic production, domestic CNC machine tool products to replace imports has a broad market space.

At the same time, with the technological progress of the industry, the improvement of product quality and performance, the substitution of domestic forging equipment for imports and exports to foreign countries is also the future development trend. According to the forecast report on the development prospect of China's forging machinery and equipment industry, in recent years, China's forging machinery volume forming equipment and sheet metal processing equipment have developed in parallel, with a variety of small and medium-sized forging machinery specifications, quantity growth, overall level and numerical control rate increasing rapidly, meeting the needs of national economic development, and has been exported in large quantities.
