Changes and Challenges That Wear-Resistant Material Enterprises Faced in 2013
It's well known that wear resistance is a permanent enduring topic in equipment manufacturing enterprises, which is also referred to the benefits of various related industries. In 2011, the total output of China's casting had reached more than 3500 tons, which is the first in the world scope, of which the annual consumption of wear-resistant parts reaches 3 million tons, which accounts for about 10% of the total casting output. The main consumption fields are gold mining, building materials, cement and thermal power industry.
It can be said that wear-resistant materials has been an independent industry. At present, there are several hundred of manufacturing enterprises of wear resistant materials; they own independent industrial societies and associations, which have wide application market both at home and abroad. In the premise of future national environment, the market of the wear-resistant materials is thriving.
Currently, China's mining equipment develops towards to the directions of large scale and intelligent mining, which requires the supporting crushing parts and other wear resistant materials to have the trends of large scale and complicated structure. That is to say, there are higher and harsher requirements on the shock resistance, wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the hammer head and other wear-resistant materials in the crushers. These new market demands also accelerate the industrial development and technological progress of China's wear-resistant materials.
In recent years, with the rapid development of coal, cement, metallurgy, non-ferrous metal and other industries, the energy consumption also grows therewith. The wear-resistant materials enterprises face both huge development chances and serious challenges caused by foreign famous products advancing domestic markets. Foreign famous manufacturing enterprises of wear-resistant materials move into Chinese market, some of which have established production base, which further promotes the research and production of China's wear-resistant materials, but intensifies the competition between various enterprises of wear-resistant materials.
China plans to take mining field as one of the key development during the 'Twelfth Five-Year', thus many policies trend to that. In the environment of China gaining growing attention on energy conversation, how mining equipment manufacturing enterprises improve the service life of equipment and realize enhancement in production efficiency and reduction in production costs by choosing suitable wear-resistant materials has been the industrial focus.
