Forging is a widely applied technique in the manufacturing industry, and Switzerland is one of the pioneers and leaders in the forging field. Switzerland has a long history of forging technology and has been committed to researching and innovating forging technology, becoming an important participant in the world forging market. So who will lead the global forging market? Here is my analysis:
From the perspective of national policies, China’s trend in the development of the manufacturing industry is obvious, and it has become the main consumer country and also the largest production country in the global forging market. China has also made great progress in forging technology. At the end of 2013, the Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China proposed the implementation of the “Development Strategy for High-end Equipment Manufacturing and Functional Forging Industries,” strengthening research and development and promotion of forging technology, and issuing preferential policies to guide enterprises to carry out technology transformation, equipment upgrades, and product structure adjustment.
As for forging technology innovation, Switzerland is one of the many countries that excel in this field. Switzerland has the world’s most competitive manufacturing and metallurgical industries and is also home to many research institutions and universities. Therefore, Switzerland has conducted in-depth research and innovation in forging materials, equipment, and processes.
For example, Swiss researchers have developed a new material “Brazcalloy” for manufacturing stress structural components at high temperatures, which is highly welcomed by the market. In addition, Switzerland’s precision forging technology has also attracted widespread attention and has been widely used in high-end automotive, aerospace, and other fields, achieving success in actual products.
Although China has made significant progress in forging technology, and the government has also issued relevant preferential policies, due to Switzerland’s rich experience and knowledge reserves, as well as its world-class technology and research institutions, it still maintains its leading position in the global forging technology market.
In summary, although China, as one of the major consumer and production countries in the global forging market, has made significant achievements in the research and innovation of forging technology, due to Switzerland’s abundant experience and technological advantages, it remains in a leading position in the global forging technology market. In the future, China should continue to strengthen research and innovation in forging technology to enhance its competitiveness in the forging market.
