In recent years, the domestic market demand for cold-formed forming equipment has increased day by day, the scope of application has been continuously expanded, and the market prospects are very broad.
At present, there is an urgent need to develop cold dome steels made of stainless steel, galvanized sheets, high-strength and ultra-high-strength low-alloy materials; ultra-thick and ultra-thin cold dome steel products with complex sections with high difficulty.
Cold-formed forming equipmentis a kind of special-shaped steel with important advantages of light weight and high strength. It is a new type of high-efficiency and economical material that the country vigorously promotes and applies.
With the acceleration of my country's economic construction, cold dome steel is gradually accepted by the market. At present, there are hundreds of companies producing cold-formed forming equipment in China, with an annual production capacity of about 2 million tons. The output of domestic cold dome steel accounts for only 1.2% of the total steel volume. Compared with the proportion of 5% in developed countries abroad, the development potential is great.
The main varieties of existing cold-formed forming equipment in China：
Cold-formed rectangular tube for structure, cold dome steel for passenger car, section steel for rolling shutter door and steel window, welded pipe for low pressure fluid transportation, cold dome section steel for general opening, cold-formed section steel for construction steel structure, and cold dome profiled materials of various cross-sections.
Scope of application:
It has been widely used in construction, machinery, nuclear power, automobile, railway, agricultural machinery, chemical industry, petroleum, refrigeration, food, textile, medical, supermarket, container industry and civilian industry, especially in emerging industries.
Current development situation:
At present, the cold dome forming equipment made of stainless steel, zinc key plate, high-strength and ultra-high low-alloy steel produced in China is relatively small and needs to be imported.
Cold-formed steel products with cutting-edge development directions and cold-dome steel products with complex cross-sections, ultra-thick, ultra-thin, and series, have a considerable potential market and broad development prospects.
At present, this kind of cold dome forming equipment is rare in China, and many products are still blank, and some can only rely on imports to make up for it. For example, the annual consumption of galvanized cold-formed steel used in luxury passenger cars is at least 3000 tons. Currently, imported products are mainly used, and the demand is still rising.
Finally, it is worth mentioning that the focus of the domestic cold-formed equipment market in the future should be on the development of new high-tech, high-quality, high-value-added cold-formed equipment and the research of process technology in the field of cold dome production.
