First of all, let's take a look at the state of the automobile industry, which is a big user of cutting tools. In 2009, China's automobile output reached 13.791 million, surpassing Japan for the first time to become the largest automobile producer in the world. From January to September this year, China's automobile production and sales have exceeded 13 million, and it is expected to exceed 17 million by the end of the year, more than three times the output in 2005. The 12th five-year Plan predicts that China's automobile output will reach 20 million-25 million by 2015. The development of automobile industry is closely related to cutting and cutting tools.

Take another look at the energy industry. First of all, the three Gorges Project, which has lasted for 18 years and attracted worldwide attention, has been basically completed by the end of 2010, of which 26 700000 kilowatt generating units are all connected to the grid. In the field of wind power, by 2009, China's newly installed wind power capacity has reached 13.8 million kilowatts, surpassing the United States and becoming the country with the first new wind power installed capacity in the world that year; by 2020, the installed wind power capacity will reach 230 million kilowatts, equivalent to the generating capacity of 13 three Gorges power stations. In the field of nuclear power, on October 20 this year, the second phase of China's first self-designed Qinshan Nuclear Power Station (Unit 3) was put into commercial operation. so far, four nuclear power bases in China have been put into commercial operation, with 13 nuclear power units and an installed capacity of 10 million kilowatts. By 2020, China's nuclear power installed capacity will reach 40 million kilowatts. The energy industry will have a great demand for advanced cutting tools.

In recent years, China's high-speed train technology has developed rapidly and has been highly concerned by countries all over the world. With the recent opening of the Shanghai-Hangzhou high-speed railway, the operating mileage of the high-speed railway in China has reached 7431 km, ranking first in the world; with the opening of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway in 2012, the mileage of China's high-speed railway will reach 13000 km; by 2020, a 16000 km high-speed railway network is expected to be built. The leading advantage and development momentum of China's high-speed railway provide new development opportunities for the tool industry.

In the field of aerospace, four AJR21 regional civil aircraft with independent intellectual property rights have been put into test flight, with a total flight time of more than 600hours. it is planned that the first aircraft will be delivered to users for operation next year. The development of the long-awaited domestic large aircraft C919 is also making rapid progress, with its first flight in 2014 and delivery to users in 2016. as a result, China's civil aviation industry will gradually end its long-term dependence on the import of foreign large civil aircraft. In terms of space industry, during the Eleventh five-year Plan period, China successfully launched "Chang'e-1" and "Chang'e-2" lunar exploration spacecraft, making China the fifth member of the "lunar exploration club" in the world. China will land a man on the moon around 2025, and the dream of Chinese landing on the moon will come true. The machining of difficult-to-machining materials and composite materials in the aerospace industry is the "commanding height" of cutting technology, which will drive the level of cutting and tool technology in China to a new height.

Through the above examples, we will naturally associate with the fact that the machining efficiency and quality of mechanical parts such as automobiles, locomotives, generator sets of various power stations, aeronautics and spacecraft, and so on, all depend directly on the cutting performance of the tool. Moreover, the development of many new products and the application of new materials are inseparable from the innovation of cutting technology and cutting tools. Reviewing the first place in the world of China's manufacturing industry during the Eleventh five-year Plan period and looking forward to the higher development goals during the Twelfth five-year Plan period, we have reason to have higher expectations for China's tool industry.

Judging from the current situation of China's tool industry, on the one hand, it has made an important contribution to the development of China's manufacturing industry, but on the other hand, compared with the demand of the manufacturing industry during the Twelfth five-year Plan period, there is still a certain gap in product structure adjustment, tool innovation and industry transformation. During the 12th five-year Plan period, we must make new progress in these three areas in order to meet the needs of the tool industry in the 12th five-year Plan and lay the foundation for longer-term development.

First of all, about the adjustment of product structure. Nowadays, tool materials have entered an era dominated by cemented carbide. Compared with high-speed steel, cemented carbide has better performance and higher cutting efficiency. Together with superhard tool materials, cemented carbide is the most important guarantee for modern cutting technology to achieve efficient machining. At present, the proportion of cemented carbide cutting tools in China is about 40%, which is far lower than that of industrial developed countries, which restricts the improvement of the overall level of cutting tools in our country. Without good tool materials, any tool innovation and the progress of cutting technology are lack of necessary material basis, and can only be castles in the air. However, the fundamental solution to this problem involves the adjustment of the industry structure. In addition to the existing Zhuzhou Diamond cutting tool Co., Ltd., it is necessary to speed up the construction of a production base with cemented carbide materials and tool research and development capabilities, and rapidly increase the proportion of cemented carbide tools in all cutting tools. This is a project that requires a lot of investment and needs the guidance and support of relevant government departments.
