Processing cutting tool material cost is a key to cutting technological change

To make we can continue to absorb the world will be born in the Chinese manufacturing enterprises, it needs our progress to competition, of course including degree of manufacturing progress. Actually this, I think is also agree with the party central committee about us during the "twelfth five-year" to the request of the transformation of the mode of conduct, which will be given a heavier quantity, low value and high cost of manufacturing, to the heavy degree, high value-added, green manufacturing for carbide cutting tools.

carbide cutting tools in China lasted for 2010 years, in general terms of growth trend, increase in total. According to estimates, China's tool cost is about 39 billion yuan in 2011, about 13% higher than in 2010. Cost of the domestic tool is about 27 billion yuan of money, and there is no 4% higher than in 2010; And cost of import tool is about 12 billion yuan, about 25% higher than in 2010.

But, if we from consumption structure analysis, we find domestic tool consumption structure in China has a lot of problems.

In the worldwide industry, the proportion of the tooling cost is about: high speed steel cutting tools account for 35%, 10% of diamond and cubic boron carbide cutting tool, welding carbide cutting tools, solid carbide and indexable carbide is accounted for the rest parts.

In the tool industry in China is not the case. Under the 2010 machine tools industry association branch member enterprise of domestic sales statistics, China's domestic consumption of domestic knives, about 69% is high speed steel cutting tools, carbide cutting tools account for only about 28% (other systems for the tool, diamond and cubic boron nitride cutting tools, etc.). Even with import tool, tool cost in our country, about 53% of HSS cutting tools, carbide cutting tools for 45%, and the diamond and cubic boron nitride cutting tool accounts for more than 2%.

So to clarify, the proportion of China is ever to become the world's first consumer and a wide range of machine tool is also the world's largest range of carbide cutting tool consumer, but our tool consumption structure that cannot reach uniformity in the world. Our present situation is: is our production rate of numerical control machine tool and numerical control machine tool production rate are in progress year by year, but from the machine even land price trend, can see our nc machine tools may be simple nc in the lead. That is to say our country is not high degree of overall of metal cutting.

The current situation of the overall processing level is not high and our growing appreciation trend of labor capital and money, hide our made in China to the risk of losing competitiveness slowly, some of the country, including the United States economic scholars and entrepreneurs are thinking about moving some once to Asian manufacturing companies to move back to the outside.

But cutting tool industry in China is not very well for a long time to use powder metallurgy HSS to manufacture cutting tools, and low degree of HSS cutting tools are shamelessly. Until recent years, the author heard that river metallurgical group and jiangsu tiangong in powder metallurgy HSS, hope they can be well performed, more hope domestic existing ways of HSS cutting tools manufacturers can change in consumption and more user farewell powder metallurgy HSS cutting tools products.
