中国塑性成形技术和装备 30 年的重大突破与进展

In the last 30 years since 1994, remarkable achievements have been achieved in China in the field of metal forming technologies and equipments, under the strong traction of national great demands. A series of the largest equipments in the world were developed, the three major technical breakthroughs were realized and the largest scale of research teams were built up. The overall level of metal forming technologies in China has entered the ranking of advanced countries in the world, with several unit technologies and equipments reaching the international leading level. Eight of the most representative achievements were selected, and the major breakthrough in plastic engineering theory and technology and outstanding contributions to the development of national great equipment were introduced. The gap of metal forming technologies between China and the world-top level was analyzed. Finally, the five development trends named “three ‘ultra’ and two ‘high’” in the development of metal forming technologies in China were prospected.
