Current status and trends of ceramics
Current status and trends of ceramics
1.Analysis of the status quo
My country's architectural ceramics companies are mainly located in the southeast coast, such as Foshan in Guangdong, Jinjiang in Fujian, Wenzhou in Zhejiang, Tangshan in Hebei, Zibo and Weifang in Shandong. Enterprises are over-concentrated in a few areas. Although this status quo has a positive side, we must not ignore its negative side. First of all, this over-concentrated feature will cause serious partial repetitive construction and waste of resources, which is not conducive to the comprehensive and sustainable development of my country's building ceramic industry; second, it is easy to cause vicious competition between enterprises, which is not conducive to the development of my country's building ceramic industry. Healthy development; third, it is easy to cause the partial supply of products to exceed demand, and the surplus of products must be exported, especially to the farther regions (such as northeast, northwest, etc.), and the sales cost will undoubtedly increase; fourth, it is easy to cause major problems The lack of raw materials and the long-term large-scale outsourcing of these raw materials will also increase production costs.
2. Development trend
As a widely used material in ceramics, alumina ceramics presents the following development trends along with the development of the entire industry:
(1) The level of technical equipment will be rapidly improved: the development of computer technology and digital control technology has promoted the technological progress and rapid development of the ceramic material industry, such as automatic control of continuous sintering kilns, high-power and large-capacity grinding equipment, and high-performance powder manufacturing Complete sets of equipment such as granular equipment and other net pressure forming equipment have beneficially promoted the improvement of the overall level of the industry, and at the same time, the production efficiency and product quality have also been significantly improved;
(2) Continuous improvement of product quality: domestic microcrystalline alumina ceramic products have grown from nothing, the industrial scale has grown from small to large, and the product quality has gone from low to high, and has experienced a rapid development process;
(3) The scale of the industry will expand rapidly: As the basic material of other industries or fields, microcrystalline alumina ceramic products are affected and restricted by the development level of other industries. From the perspective of the application of alumina ceramics, the application range is wider and wider, and the amount is increasing, especially the increase in the amount of anti-wear engineering and the production of building ceramics will be more significant.
