Machine tool stand in the crisis

 

2010 “World machine tool production and consumption survey” shows that the overall global metal processing manufacturing industry out of recession. Over the past two years, the growth of production fluctuations. In 2009, the world’s 28 major countries and regions in the output value production was down 32%. In 2010, the major producing countries and regions, economic recovery, the global machine tool manufacturing industry output value reached 66.3 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 21%. The “World machine tool production and consumption survey” includes a manufacturing industry and has statistics of 28 countries and regions, the production is cover 95% of world output and consumption.

According to the European Machine Tool Industry Council (CECIMO) statistics, in 2010, CECIMO production in the Member States Total 166 million euros, compared with the same period in 2009 declined slightly by 1%. In this regard, CECIMO Economic Committee Chairman Frank Brinken that with the release of production orders, industrial output in 2011 is expected to double-digit growth, the European market will enter a stable and sustainable growth phase, 2013 will likely reach a new peak.

CECIMO Member States in 2010 exports of tools 12.3 billion euros, accounting for total output value of 3 / 4. As for consumption, compared with 2009 and 2008, apparent consumption in Europe has been declining for two consecutive years. In addition, in 2010, the European machine tool production about the world’s total output of 1/3, while in 2009 their share was 43%, showing that the European machine tool market has shown a significant decline, the European machine tool industry is facing tremendous challenges. In this regard, CECIMO urged the EU to further open markets in Asia, anti-competitive conduct will not help restore the European market share.

By the international financial crisis in 2009, China, Brazil, Russia, India’s exports of metalworking machine has fallen sharply. Into 2010, due to the Asian region and emerging economies over Europe and the United States took the lead out of the woods, market structure of China’s machine exports also will change significantly. Plastic mold and metal according to the International Association of Permanent Secretary for Industry Supply Luo Baihui that the Chinese machine exports to the BRIC countries, the sharp rebound in Brazil, Russia, India’s exports are the top 10. First half of 2010, China’s exports of metalworking machine in India surpassed the United States, 1.4 billion U.S. dollars, accounting for 7.4% of total exports of machine; on Brazil, Russia, exports increased more than 80% were, respectively, on top In the sixth and fourteenth up to the third and eighth. ASEAN regional markets continue to be optimistic, Myanmar, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia to China Dengjun the top 15 export markets, exports surpassed 2008 levels. Especially in CNC machine tool exports to Myanmar in recent years the rapid growth of exports in 2009 increased up to 6 times more than in 2010, has doubled.

China for many years been the world’s largest machine tool consumer and importer. Plastic mold and metal according to the International Association of Permanent Secretary for Industry Supply Luo Baihui, the global consumption of 10 machines each, nearly 5 in China. With the vigorous development of China’s manufacturing industry, the demand for production equipment soared. In 2002, China became the world’s largest consumer and maintain so far. Large amount of China’s machine imports, from 2002 to 2005 China imported machine consumption in the average of 62%. 2006-2010, part of China’s domestic enterprises and foreign enterprises to gradually expand the market share in China. In 2009, China became the world’s largest producer of machine tools. China’s machine tool industry in 2010 to maintain the rapid growth in the share of world output and 35%; China’s consumption up 43% year, accounting for 28 major producing countries and regions, 48% of the total consumption. In 2010, China’s exports grew 31%, with exports amounting to 1.85 billion, ranking sixth. However, the Chinese exports accounted for only 9% of its GDP, which indicates that China’s domestic market demand is quite strong.

According to China Association of Machine Tool Industry Statistics, 2010, China, Japan, Germany among the world’s top three machine production. Japan’s machine industry has experienced a serious recession in 2009, fully rebound, the second largest producer of machine to return to the position. German manufacturing output continued to decline in 2010, but still ranked third. U.S. machine manufacturing output has continued to decline, has dropped the world’s eighth, is located in Italy, South Korea, Switzerland and other countries later.10 years ago, the United States is the world’s largest machine tool consumer, consumption is much higher than the second place was Germany, but the U.S. machine consumption has been declining since 2010, spending 2.75 billion, down 15%. In the exports, Japan, Germany, Italy ranked 3 2010, its exports account for production are in the 66% ratio. In 2010, the global consumption in the top five were China, Germany, Japan, Korea and Italy. Among them, Korea and Japan have achieved double-digit growth year on year. Differences in per capita consumption large, Switzerland remains the world per capita consumption of metalworking than any other country. In the mean time, product of china are low add value products, such as roll forming machines, or some area refer to roll forming areas, because of the ratio of quality of price, it indeed work well. But it is still a long way to through, not just for roll former but the whole machine tool industry.

Day 2 – The History Welding – Welder World eCourse

Hello,

Sometimes to know where you are headed, you need to look back at history.
That is what we are going to do today, look at the history of welding.

The History of Welding
When you drive your car or look at a light fixture in the street or
open your microwave, chances are that there is something in any of
those items that has been welded. These products and others have
been a part of the process of welding for more years than you might
imagine.

Welding actually started a very long time ago during the Middle
Ages. Many artifacts have been found that date back to the Bronze
Age. These have been small boxes that were welded together with
what is called lap joints; no one is exactly sure what these were
used for, but this was important to that time.

The Egyptians also made a variety of tools by welding pieces of
iron together. Perhaps this is where Maxwell’s Hammer comes later?
Who can say! Then came the rise of the Middle Ages and many people
there were able to use blacksmithing for iron. Different
modifications were made along the way until the welding that is
used to day was developed.

There were several significant inventions in the 1800s that
influenced welding included here:

The invention of acetylene by an Englishman named Edmund Davy.
Gas welding and cutting became known and a way to cement pieces of
iron together.
Arc lighting was a very popular part of welding after the electric
generator became known.
Arc and resistance welding become another popular aspect of welding.
Nikolai N. Benardos receives a patent for welding in 1885 and 1887
from America and Britain.
C.L. Coffin receives an American patent for a arc welding process.

After the 1800s many more patents and inventions were made in order
to create more ways of doing welding but one of the greatest needs
would come much later during World War I because this process was
needed to create arms. Because of the demand welding firms became a
staple of America and Europe because the war needed welding
machines and electrodes to go with them.

During the war people really got a chance to look at how welding
worked and it became a very popular way of work. So much so that in
1919 the first American Welding Society was begun. This nonprofit
organization came directly out of through a group of men who called
themselves  the Wartime Welding Committee of the Emergency Fleet
Corporation (Source: Miller Welds).

The 1950s and 1960s were also a significant time for welding
because a welding process using CO2 was discovered and a variation
of this form of welding that used inert gas became very popular in
the 1960s because it produced a different type of arc.

There have been a number of improvements in the welding trade over
these years and today the process has added two areas, friction and
laser welding. These two have created a more specialized field and
therefore more opportunities for learning.

One interesting point about laser welding is that those people who
use it have found that is a tremendous heat source so it can
actually weld both metal and non-metal objects.
