Industry experts said that behind the construction of the behemoth, there are indispensable functions of small fasteners. Although they are only small participants, they have a crucial impact. Because of the importance of its connection, consumers will have a more favor for the brand in purchasing.

 

"Fasteners are also called standard parts in the market, and are a general term for a type of mechanical parts used when two or more parts (or components) are fastened and connected into a whole. It is widely used in various Kinds of machinery, equipment, vehicles, ships, railways, bridges, buildings, structures, tools, molds, instruments, meters and supplies." Luo Baihui, Secretary General of the International Model Association, said that with the development of China's manufacturing industry, fasteners are One of the products with a large import and export volume in China, which is in line with international standards, has important practical and strategic significance to promote Chinese fastener enterprises to the world and promote fastener enterprises to fully participate in international cooperation and competition. Because the specifications, dimensions, tolerances, weight, performance, surface conditions, marking methods, and acceptance inspection, marking, and packaging of each specific fastener product are specified in several national (industry) standards , For example, English, German and American.

 

The machinery industry is one of the main users of fasteners. Due to China's late recognition of the important position of mechanical basic components in the machinery industry, and a long-term lack of investment, the entire industry has a poor foundation, a weak foundation, and weak strength. Especially with the improvement of the level of the Chinese mainframe, the bottleneck phenomenon that the mechanical basic parts lag behind the mainframe is increasingly apparent. In recent years, although the state has provided some support in technology introduction, technological transformation, scientific research and development, there is still a large gap compared with the current market demand and foreign level, which is manifested in: fewer product varieties and low levels , Unstable quality, high early failure rate, poor reliability.

 

Fasteners are the main basic products of the machinery industry. The development of the machinery industry also puts forward higher requirements for fastener products. Luo Baihui believes that the current domestic standard fasteners have always been in oversupply, while high-end fasteners (high temperature, special-shaped, titanium-plastic composite, special performance and other fasteners) are in short supply and rely on imports. The State Machinery Bureau listed "ordinary standard fasteners" as restricted development products, and "high-strength special-shaped fasteners" as current encouraged development products. With the improvement of national industrialization level and technological progress, the use of high-strength fasteners has gradually increased.

 

It is understood that during the 12th Five-Year Plan period, the number of construction machinery products such as loaders, excavators and road rollers will reach 6 million units, and the annual sales will be around 50,000 units. According to this estimate, the annual demand for high-strength fasteners is about 20,000 ~30,000 tons. The basic parts represented by fasteners are not only the basic industries of my country's equipment manufacturing industry, but also an important foundation for various fields of national economic construction. During the 12th Five-Year Plan period, while maintaining some cost advantages, the industry must rely on new advantages such as technological progress, quality improvement, and product cost performance to achieve sustainable development. It is estimated that by the end of 2015, the total output of the entire industry will reach 7.5 million to 8 million tons; under the overall situation of expanding exports, export products will show a volatile growth trend, and the average annual export growth rate is expected to be 8% to 10% during the 12th Five-Year Plan period By 2015, the total export value of the whole industry will reach 30 billion yuan.

 

Industry experts said that domestic fastener companies of all sizes should look to the future. "High-speed rail", "aerospace", "highway", "airport" and other national key construction projects are providing opportunities for tight enterprises to move toward high-end. Boeing plans to add 3400 aircraft, the National Development and Reform Commission invested 800 billion yuan to build rail transit in 6 cities, according to 36 plans to build urban rail transit projects in cities Demand for parts reached 5.5-7 billion yuan. These large projects will greatly increase the demand for high-end fasteners such as high-strength fasteners and titanium alloys, and it is not impossible to remove the "low-end" label.
