Guangdong mold heat treatment industry development characteristics and market outlook

Guangdong's heat treatment industry has been slow in recent years in terms of industrial capital increase and expansion, and has not shown good interaction with regional economic development. There is still a phenomenon of “small but not strong” phenomenon of low-level redundant construction, scattered investment, generally small scale, and large waste of environmental resources. Enterprises are basically still in the "single fight alone" situation. It is quite common for companies not to use technology to win but to fight against disorderly price wars to win the market. It is not possible to create a spillover effect of agglomeration. There is still much room for improvement in the meticulous professional division of labor and professional production in the industry. The industry lacks a "leader" with strong financing capabilities and good technical advantages. Changes in these circumstances must be taken seriously by the relevant departments, and there must be good industrial policy environment and technical support.

At present, the market for mold materials in Guangdong has a lot of chaos and confusion, and supervision is lacking. The phenomenon of “domestic steel” posing as “imported steel” and “shanzhai steel” replacing “brand steel” is often seen. For example, the critical chromium content (mass fraction) in the Cr12 cold work die steel is 12%. However, the chromium content in the market is only 7%. Even the so-called Cr12 steels even lower are able to be “into the room”. The chaos on the material market has seriously affected the quality of the heat treatment of the mold, and also brought great losses to the entire mold production, and also brought a lot of economic disputes. It has a great impact on the quality of the mold heat treatment production process. Therefore, purifying the mold steel market is a necessary means to increase the competitiveness of mold production, and it should give adequate attention to the rectification of the mold steel market.
