The Importance of Foundry Technology for the Development of China's Foundry Industry

In 2020, China's total casting production reached 51.95 million tons, accounting for more than 40% of the global casting production, making it a truly great casting country in the world. At that time, I was very excited and proud to see this data, but as a practitioner in the casting industry, I also deeply understand that although China is a great casting country, it is not yet a strong casting country. In some fields, compared with a strong casting country, China's casting still has many shortcomings and room for improvement. For example, precision control of finished castings, energy saving in production, etc. At present, China is in the advanced stage of continuous reform and opening up. The emphasis on industry and the vigorous integration, reform, and improvement of the equipment manufacturing and casting industry will quickly promote the transformation of China from a major casting country to a strong casting country.

A country is established by talent, governance by talent, and industry by talent. The importance of talent is self-evident. Technical talents are one of the important capital of enterprises and an important component of their core competitiveness. Enterprises are the main body of technical talent training and utilization. Strengthening the training of technical workers and building a team of highly skilled talents can promote the enhancement of core competitiveness of enterprises, cultivate the spirit of "great country craftsmanship", and also have important significance in promoting the realization of China's manufacturing power strategy. At present, there are relatively few technical personnel in China's casting enterprises with a background in science and technology. Most of the technical personnel have grown up in the process of production practice, and the theoretical foundation of the casting system is not solid. They have taken many detours in their work, wasting time and material costs. Nowadays, China is transitioning from a major casting country to a strong casting country, and industrial upgrading and integration have put forward higher requirements for the technical personnel of various enterprises. Technical personnel can only contribute to the national strategy of building a strong country by continuously consolidating their knowledge foundation and improving their cutting-edge skills.
