With the rapid development of manufacturing industry, warm forging technology, as an important forming process, plays a key role in manufacturing high quality forgings. However, the continuous innovation and development of warm forging technology requires a lot of research investment and practical experience, which makes the cooperation between universities and enterprises become an important way to promote the development and innovation of this technology. This paper will discuss the role of cooperation between universities and enterprises in the innovation and development of warm forging technology and personnel training.
As the creator and disseminator of knowledge, colleges and universities have rich research resources and professional research teams, and have the advantages of carrying out cutting-edge scientific and technological research. Enterprises pay more attention to practical application and technology transformation, with advanced production equipment, rich production experience and broad market channels. This complementary advantage provides a strong support for the cooperation between universities and enterprises to promote the innovation and development of warm forging technology.
Cooperate to promote the innovation and development of warm forging technology
Jointly build a research and development platform: universities and enterprises can jointly establish a research and development platform, share research resources and equipment, and jointly carry out research and innovation of warm forging technology. Through cooperative research, we can give full play to the advantages of both sides and accelerate the innovation process of warm forging technology.
Practical application and verification: Enterprises can provide practical application scenarios and data support for colleges and universities to help the research results of colleges and universities to carry out practical verification and application. At the same time, enterprises can also obtain new technological breakthroughs and innovative ideas from the research results of colleges and universities, and promote the practical application and development of warm forging technology.
Personnel training and exchange: Universities and enterprises can jointly carry out personnel training programs, such as internship training, graduate training, etc., to provide practical opportunities and career development platforms for students. Through personnel training and exchange, students’ practical ability and innovative spirit can be cultivated, and high-quality technical talents and management talents can be delivered to enterprises.
Achievements transformation and industrialization: universities and enterprises can jointly promote the transformation and industrialization of warm forging technology achievements. By means of technology transfer and patent licensing, the scientific and technological achievements of colleges and universities will be transformed into actual productive forces of enterprises, and the wide application and development of warm forging technology in the industry will be promoted.
Taking the cooperation between a well-known university and an automobile manufacturing enterprise as an example, the two sides jointly carried out research and innovation projects on warm forging technology. Through cooperative research and practical application, a new ultrasonic assisted warm forging technology has been successfully developed, which significantly improves the performance and quality of automobile engine connecting rod. This technology has been widely used and promoted in automobile manufacturing enterprises, and has made important contributions to the high-quality development of automobile manufacturing industry.
Although the cooperation between universities and enterprises has made certain achievements in promoting the innovation and development of warm forging technology and talent training, there are still some challenges. For example, the cooperation mechanism is not perfect, the ownership of intellectual property rights is not clear, and the difficulty of technology transformation is difficult. In order to overcome these challenges and promote the widespread application and development of the technology, the following are some suggestions and prospects:
Strengthen policy guidance and support: The government should introduce relevant policies and measures to encourage and support universities and enterprises to carry out cooperative innovation and technology transformation activities, and establish a sound cooperation mechanism and intellectual property management system.
Deepen industry-university-research cooperation: Strengthen the industry-university-research cooperation between universities, enterprises and scientific research institutions, promote interdisciplinary exchanges and collaborative innovation, and form a joint force to promote the innovation and development of warm forging technology.
Training innovative talents: universities and enterprises should jointly carry out innovative talents training projects, pay attention to training students’ practical ability and innovative spirit, and provide talent guarantee for the development of warm forging technology.
Expand the application field: the warm forging technology will be extended to other manufacturing fields such as aerospace, petrochemical, etc., to meet the needs of different industries for high-performance forgings and promote the development and upgrading of related industries.
The cooperation between universities and enterprises is an important way to promote the innovation and development of warm forging technology and personnel training. Through the joint development platform, practical application and verification, personnel training and exchange, as well as the transformation and industrialization of results, we can give full play to the advantages of both sides to accelerate the innovation process of warm forging technology and provide strong support for the high-quality development of manufacturing industry. Although there are still some challenges in the practice process, with the continuous progress of technology and the continuous expansion of application scenarios, it is believed that the cooperation between universities and enterprises will play a greater role in the future and make important contributions to the continuous innovation and development of the manufacturing industry.
