Refractories industry future development outlook
Refractory materials as an indispensable basic material of high temperature industry, along with the development of high temperature industry has made obvious progress, China's refractory industry has also changed from small to large, the output ranks first in the world, and the export of refractory products is also increasing year by year. At present, with the transformation and upgrading of enterprises and the transformation of environmental protection, the small chaos of the refractory industry has been greatly improved, in this process, some refractory enterprises that can not be produced and the process is backward are gradually eliminated by the market. According to the data of the refractory network, nearly one-third of enterprises in the refractory industry have been eliminated and shut down in the past two years.
On February 12, 2013, Several Opinions of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on Promoting the Healthy and Sustainable Development of the Refractory Industry were issued, which is the first guidance document specifically for the refractory industry produced by the competent government departments since the founding of New China, and the status of refractory materials as an indispensable and important basic material for the national economy and high-temperature industry has been confirmed.
According to the public data of the China Refractory Industry Association, in 2018, the national refractory output was 23.4522 million tons, of which 13.2738 million tons of dense shaped refractory products: 541,000 tons of thermal insulation refractory products; In 2019, the national production capacity of resistant materials was 24.307,500 tons, and dense shaped refractory products were 13.436 million tons. Warm long heat refractory products 58900 tons, amorphous refractory products 10.3449 million tons. Compared with the same period, the total production is in a downward trend. In 2020, due to the impact of the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic, the production of resistant materials in the first quarter of 2020 was 4.1030 million tons, down 24.98% year-on-year, including 2.408 million tons of dense shaped refractory products, 100,700 tons of insulating refractory products, and 1.615 million tons of amorphous refractory products.
At the same time, the refractory industry is also moving toward production automation and intelligent manufacturing in the near future. The refractory industry will also have a large number of unmanned factories. And the development of the data age. Believe in the near future. The refractory industry will also have a large number of unmanned factories. All these can not be separated from the technical information support of refractory materials, traditional refractory practitioners rely on the experience handed down from generation to generation, and modern refractory production and application is the need for data, theory and practice. The continuous progress of the downstream high temperature industry has prompted enterprises to renew the iteration of refractory products and the demand for high-quality, long-life durable refractory materials is stronger.
There are also many misunderstandings between the traditional refractory suppliers and users, whether the longevity of the high-temperature kiln is not only related to the quality of the material basin, but also has a great relationship with the construction of resistant materials, daily operation habits of the kiln, etc., this data for cement, iron and steel metallurgy, glass and other kiln material damage causes, resistant materials! It is hoped that the upstream and downstream of the industry can have a clearer and correct understanding of the application of refractory materials.
