Hu Jinbao, Vice President of the China Foundry Association and Chief Scientist as well as Researcher-Level Senior Engineer at China FAW Group Co., Ltd., presented a report entitled "Automotive Lightweight Technology and the Development Status of FAW." Dong Haiquan, Chief Customization Expert in the Global Procurement Certification Department at Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., delivered a speech titled "Application and Development of Die Casting Technology in Huawei Products." Wu Guohua, Distinguished Professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Foreign Academician of the Russian Academy of Engineering, Winner of the First Prize of the National Technological Invention Award, and Chief Scientist of the National Foundation Strengthening Key Program, gave a report titled "Key Issues and Countermeasures in the Forming Process of Large Complex Magnesium Alloy Castings." Wang Huiyuan, Member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee and Vice President of Hebei University of Technology, as well as Professor at Jilin University, presented a report titled "Bright Star in the Lightweight Era: Lightweight, High-Strength Magnesium Alloys for Beauty and Performance."
After the report, the organizer thanked the partners for their strong support to the forum and related activities, and hoped to continue to work together with all units to gather more strength and create greater value for the development of the industry.
In the dialogue session of entrepreneurs with the theme of "Global layout of die-casting enterprises", guests took the candid perspective of "revealing the overseas strategic thinking of enterprises" to focus on the multiple strategies adopted by enterprises due to resource allocation and market differences in the current process of industry globalization. They shared their strategic thinking, practical experience and business wisdom in global competition on hot issues such as "the way for enterprises to go global", "main difficulties in the process of internationalization and countermeasures" and "whether setting up overseas factories is the only choice to participate in the international market under the new situation", with fresh cases and profound insights. It presents a feast of ideas exchange of great industry value for the delegates, and the dialogue content resonates strongly with the audience.
On May 22, eight advanced technology sub-forums focusing on low pressure, differential pressure, extrusion, semi-solid, non-ferrous alloy, magnesium alloy and integrated die casting technology were opened one after another, building a professional platform to deepen industry exchanges, jointly research technological innovation, accelerate the transformation of achievements, and help the coordinated development of the industry.
