Abrasives industry faces double pressure

On July 25, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced the list of the first batch of companies that eliminated the backward production capacity in the industrial sector in 2013, including 19 industries such as ironmaking, steelmaking, cement, and papermaking. Chongqing's cement and manganese industries have become the “dense zone” for eliminating outdated production capacity. According to the requirements of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the backward production capacity of the enterprises listed on the list of announcements will strive to be shut down before the end of September 2013, and at the same time to ensure complete elimination and elimination before the end of 2013. It is emphasized that these backward production capacities must not be transferred to other regions.

On July 27, at the China Environmental Protection Industry Summit, the Ministry of Environmental Protection stated that it was revising the environmental quality standards for surface water, and it is expected to publish the draft for consultation during the year. China's direct investment for air pollution prevention and control and water pollution control will reach 3.7 trillion yuan.

As a high-energy-consumption and high-pollution industry that has been recognized by the government and the national environmental protection department, the abrasive grinding industry will inevitably feel a strong environmental protection policy pressure, and now it is also facing the problem of serious overcapacity, which is already in the economic winter. The abrasive grinding enterprises in the struggle have added frost to the snow.

At present, the main problems facing the development of the hardware abrasives industry in China are:

1, weak research and development, less innovation. Weak R&D strength is related to the small scale of industrial enterprises and the small number of scientific research personnel. More importantly, however, corporate leaders need to have the awareness of reform and innovation. At present, the ability of business leaders is limited, and it is urgent to make breakthroughs and strengthen the concept of learning and innovation. There are innovations.

2. The problem of overcapacity is prominent. The current production capacity of brown corundum is about 4.3 million tons, and the capacity utilization rate is less than 30%. According to the situation held by the branch, there are about 250,000 tons of capacity under construction and expansion, which will further aggravate the production of excess capacity. The production capacity of green silicon carbide is about 2 million tons, and the capacity utilization rate is about 15%. The backward production capacity still exists in large quantities. Enterprises are slow to adjust their product mix and eliminate backward production capacity. The homogeneity of products is serious. Under the circumstances that electricity prices, labor costs, and raw material costs continue to increase, companies can only use low prices to spread costs. This is an important reason why prices have not kept going.

3. There are still outstanding problems in cleaner production, especially in smelting. There is a lack of control over the discharge of pollutants such as wastewater, exhaust gas, and dust during the abrasive processing.

Abrasives are known as "industrial teeth" and they play an integral role in railway construction. Along with the further advancement of China’s railway construction, grinders and equipment used for railway processing, as well as powerful grinding wheels for rail dressing, face enormous room for development. In order to adapt to the pace of China's railway construction, abrasive products must be upgraded. Therefore, in terms of new product development, production companies must not only pay attention to macroeconomic policies, but also pay attention to the research and development and application of new technologies, actively adjust the industrial structure, and constantly expand product application fields, providing high-speed, high-stability, and high- Accuracy of new abrasive tools to meet the needs of railway construction.

From the mold industry as a whole, the overall level of China's mold is still dominated by low-grade molds, especially because the country lacks an effective industry entry threshold for the mold industry, so that many so-called mold-developed areas, but also low-end, crude mold filling the market. Development trend of domestic hardware industry mold industry The main mold products are developing towards larger, more sophisticated, more complex and more economical and rapid development. After 12th Five-Year efforts, China's mold level has entered the advanced level of Asia by 2015, and after 7 years of hard work, it will surpass the United States and Japan in 2019 to reach the international advanced level, making China not only become a mold manufacturing country, but also enter the world. Die manufacturing manufacturing power of the country.
