The current situation and development prospects of the automotive precision stamping die industry 'hardware'_

The current situation and development prospects of the automotive precision stamping die industry: 1. China's low-end automotive precision stamping die market is relatively saturated and the pace of localization in the high-end market has accelerated. In recent years, the number of automotive precision stamping die manufacturers in China has been increasing, and the production capacity has also increased. The industry is mostly small and medium-sized enterprises with limited investment in equipment and Ru0026D. They mainly produce low- and medium-end stamping die products with lower technical requirements. This has resulted in relatively saturated supply of the low-end automotive stamping die market and fierce competition, while China’s high-end market self-sufficiency rate It's still low, only about 60%. Some of the automotive precision stamping die manufacturers in my country have introduced good foreign production equipment and technology, strengthened technological research and development and production process innovation to raise their mold products to a new level, and realized the design and manufacture of C-level automotive precision stamping dies, large-scale Substantial breakthroughs have been made in the advancement mold, and the 6m-long large-scale progressive mold has been successfully developed. In the high-end automotive precision stamping mold product segment, it competes with global manufacturers in all aspects, which has improved the rapid development of the import substitution market and the pace of mold localization Speed u200bu200bup further. Self-owned brand auto companies such as Chery, Great Wall, and Brilliance have successively shifted from import to internal purchase of vehicle molds required for vehicle development, while joint ventures such as Volkswagen and General Motors have also begun to switch to internal purchase of high-end automotive precision stamping dies. The localization of high-end automotive precision stamping dies has further expanded the market demand for automotive precision stamping dies in my country. 2. The degree of professionalization and commercialization of automobile precision stamping die production in my country has been further improved. Due to the historical reasons of the development of my country’s automobile industry, most of my country’s automobile precision stamping die enterprises have developed based on automobile manufacturers, and the provision of mold matching for automobile OEMs is the primary reason. The generalization of automobile precision stamping die enterprises is not strong, and the degree of marketization and social procurement is low. During the 'Eleventh Five-Year Plan' period, my country has policies to encourage the development of automotive precision stamping die industry towards professionalization and commercialization, encourages the separation of main and auxiliary, and makes mold production from subsidiary to independent. More and more subsidiary mold companies increase their acceptance of external orders. Proportion or reorganization into an independent mold enterprise. At present, social procurement of molds only accounts for about 45% of the molds produced in my country each year. In the future, it will further improve and approach the level of social procurement of more than 70% of foreign molds. 3. Automobile precision stamping die manufacturers extend to the downstream industry chain. With the rapid development of the automotive precision stamping die industry, the industry’s technical level has improved rapidly, and competition has intensified. The simple design and manufacturing model can no longer meet the needs of market competition. , Some major companies in the industry began to extend to the downstream industry chain with molds as the core, and established stamping production lines to directly produce automotive stamping parts with the produced molds for customers. The advantage of this transfer to the downstream industry chain with molds as the core lies in: It is the automobile stamping die manufacturer that has established a long-term and stable cooperative relationship with the automobile manufacturer during the operation process. The direct supply of stamping products can better serve the automobile manufacturer; the second is to directly produce automobile parts with the mold produced for the customer , Which can effectively reduce production costs and improve production efficiency; third, the scale advantage is obvious. Automotive precision stamping dies are customized products, and automotive stamping parts can be mass-produced continuously, which increases the scale of enterprise production. In view of the above considerations, the business scope of major manufacturers in the automotive precision stamping die industry tends to extend to the downstream industry chain, and actively cooperates with automotive vehicle manufacturers to provide 'one-stop' molds and product services. 4. Wide application of progressive dies. Stamping parts with complex shapes, especially some small and medium-sized complicated stamping parts that require multiple stamping dies to be punched in sequence according to the traditional process, are increasingly formed by progressive dies. About 30%-40% of automotive stamping parts in developed countries have been produced using progressive dies, while the proportion of progressive dies in my country’s auto parts stamping dies is only about 10%. Progressive dies will be one of the mold products developed in my country. . Progressive die is a standardized, high-precision, fast-efficiency, and long-life die. It is one of the development directions of automotive precision stamping dies, which can significantly reduce the production cost of small and medium-sized stamping parts. The progressive die continuously completes the processes of blanking, bending, stretching and forming by controlling the feeding distance and the punching of each station, realizing automation and mass punching. With the development of efficiency and automation of automobile stamping production, the application of progressive dies in the production of automobile precision stamping parts will be more extensive.
