Technical development trend of construction machinery forgings

As a key component, construction machinery forgings play an important role in bearing load, transmitting force and movement in mechanical equipment. With the continuous development of construction machinery industry, the demand for construction machinery forgings is also increasing. This paper will introduce the technical development trend of construction machinery forgings, which is mainly divided into the following parts.

The development of construction machinery forgings can be traced back to the early 20th century, with the continuous progress of technology and the continuous expansion of application fields, the demand and output of construction machinery forgings are also growing. At present, the global construction machinery forgings market has reached billions of dollars. With the improvement of environmental awareness and the rise of energy prices, the technical development trend of construction machinery forgings has also shown some new characteristics.

Technology trend

Energy saving and emission reduction technology

With the continuous improvement of global environmental awareness, energy saving and emission reduction technology of construction machinery forgings has also become an important development trend. For example, the use of energy-efficient forging processes and equipment to reduce energy consumption and emissions. In addition, some new environmentally friendly materials and technologies have also been applied in construction machinery forgings to improve their environmental performance.

High-strength material

In order to meet the requirements of high strength, high wear resistance and high corrosion resistance of construction machinery, some high-strength materials and alloys are widely used in construction machinery forgings. For example, high-strength stainless steel, high-strength alloy steel, aluminum alloy and other materials occupy an increasingly important position in construction machinery forgings.

Digital intelligent manufacturing technology

Digital intelligent manufacturing technology is one of the important technical trends of construction machinery forgings in the future. By using digital technology to achieve automated production, online monitoring and intelligent control, production efficiency can be improved, production costs can be reduced, and product quality can be improved. For example, the use of 3D printing technology, robotics, etc., to achieve rapid prototyping and production.

Market analysis

Market competition pattern

At present, the global construction machinery forgings market competition pattern is relatively fierce, mainly concentrated in Europe, the United States, Japan and other countries and regions of well-known enterprises. These enterprises have high advantages in technology research and development, production process, product quality and so on, occupying a leading position in the global construction machinery forgings market. However, with the rapid development of China’s construction machinery market, the competitiveness of Chinese enterprises in the construction machinery forgings market has gradually increased.

Main application field

Construction machinery forgings are mainly used in construction machinery, agricultural machinery, mining machinery, aerospace and other fields. In these fields, construction machinery forgings are the most widely used and occupy a dominant position. With the continuous strengthening of national infrastructure construction, the market demand for construction machinery forgings will continue to grow.

Important question

Lack of technological innovation ability

Although the technical level of construction machinery forgings has been greatly improved, but in some high-end areas, such as aerospace, high-speed railway, there is still a lack of technological innovation ability. These areas have very high requirements for the materials and manufacturing processes of forgings, and need to further strengthen technology research and development and innovation investment. At present, the global construction machinery forgings industry lacks a unified industry standard, resulting in a certain disorder in market competition. In order to promote the healthy development of the construction machinery forging industry, it is necessary to further improve the industry standard system and improve the international influence of the standard.

Based on the above analysis, the technological development trend of construction machinery forgings mainly includes the development of energy saving and emission reduction technology, high-strength materials and digital intelligent manufacturing technology. In terms of market competition, the competitive pattern of the global construction machinery forgings market is relatively fierce, but there are still problems such as technological innovation ability and industry standards are not uniform.

In response to these challenges, it is necessary to strengthen technology research and development and innovation investment, improve the industry standard system, in order to improve the technical level of construction machinery forgings and market competitiveness. At the same time, the rapid development of China’s construction machinery market also provides more opportunities and development space for domestic enterprises. Therefore, domestic enterprises should strengthen their technological innovation capabilities and brand building, and constantly improve product quality and market competitiveness to adapt to the future demand and development trend of the construction machinery forgings market.
