On April 23, 2014, an important symposium on the development of super-hard materials across the Taiwan Strait was held in Jinghong, Xishuangbanna. This event brought together over 100 representatives from enterprises and industry experts in the super-hard materials sector from both sides of the strait as well as across China. The gathering aimed to address key challenges facing the industry and explore future development trends.
The symposium featured a mix of special reports and live Q&A sessions, covering a range of critical topics such as the application of super-hard materials in aerospace, their use in the automotive industry, and the current state of the diamond industry in Taiwan. These discussions provided valuable insights into how the industry can evolve and improve its competitiveness.
Professor Fu Yucan from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics delivered a keynote speech on abrasive processing technology for super-hard materials in aerospace. He highlighted that traditional tools are facing technical limitations, especially in grinding, where low material removal rates and short tool life are major issues. Fu emphasized that for super-hard material tool companies to succeed, they must offer comprehensive solutions that include machine tools, processing tools, and techniques.
He also noted that while tool procurement is a small part of machining costs, aerospace companies prioritize efficiency and support over price. Therefore, providing high-quality products and services is more important than engaging in price wars. Solving these technical challenges could significantly impact the machining field.
Professor Jiang Zhigang from Jilin University spoke about the application of super-hard materials in the automotive industry. He pointed out that the global manufacturing industry spends over $400 billion annually on cutting and processing, with tools accounting for around $20 billion. Efficient tools have led to significant cost savings, far exceeding the investment in tools themselves.
Jiang also mentioned that the automotive industry uses a wide range of machined parts, and although cemented carbide and ceramic tools still dominate the market, super-hard tools are gaining traction due to their high-efficiency and precision capabilities. However, the domestic market remains focused on low-end products, with limited competitiveness in high-end segments. This highlights the need for Chinese companies to invest in advanced technologies and develop strong brand identities.
Mr. Chen Zongqi from Taiwan Diamond Industry Co., Ltd. shared insights into the development of the diamond tool market in Taiwan. He explained that the market size is smaller compared to the mainland, with an annual value of approximately $8–8.5 billion. Most diamonds are used in the semiconductor industry, followed by machinery and other sectors. With over 80 diamond tool manufacturers in Taiwan, the industry is growing steadily, though it still faces challenges in high-end production.
Finally, Wang Xin, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Fuyang City, presented a report on “Patent Leading Innovation and Development.†He emphasized that Fuyang New Material Industrial Park is a national patent navigation experimental zone, aiming to integrate patent strategies into industrial innovation. This initiative is expected to enhance decision-making, resource allocation, and market control within the super-hard materials industry, ultimately boosting enterprise competitiveness and operational efficiency.
