Asia’s biggest and the world’s second largest casting metallurgical event - Metal + Metallurgy China 2019 will be held in Shanghai New International Expo Centre on 13-16 March 2019. Key topic of the event will be “Intelligent Manufacturing and Green and Environmental Protection in Production”, a topic that will increase the topic scale of the show. 

The sectors of metallurgy and foundry are not only basic industries for the manufacturing industry, but also the basic guarantee for the innovation and development of many host products and high-end technical equipment. Die casting is the most widely used metal casting process in the foundry sector, and its market demand will increase further with the continual promotion of “Made in China 2025”. At Metal + Metallurgy China 2019, the die casting exhibition area will be upgraded into an independent fair for the first time, namely as China International Die Casting Industry Exhibition, bringing together various types of die casting parts, die casting machines, die casting alloys and auxiliary materials, and post-processing equipment for die casting parts.

In the past, the traditional metallurgical and casting industry in China was characterized by such aspects as high input, high consumption, high emissions and low output, low efficiency, high energy consumption and pollutant emissions on the other side.  

With the announcement of the Three-Year Action Plan to Win the Blue Sky Defence War and the Industrial Green Development Plan (2016-2020), the green transformation became integral content of China’s economic and political development.

Upgrading and modernizing the metallurgy and foundry industry has become an imminent task for the future. Now, the industry is accelerating the implementation of “replacing labor force with machines” to further improve equipment automation and production efficiency in related enterprises. Furthermore, the industry has propelled the development of green standards for enterprises, accelerate the elimination of backward production capacity, and resolve overcapacity issues. Environmentally friendly metallurgical and foundry exhibits will be widely seen in Metal + Metallurgy China 2019, collectively showcasing the applications of advanced technologies, processes and equipment in both energy saving and environmental protection in this field.  

In addition, the international hall will set up a robot and automation exhibition area. International companies from Italy, France, Belgium, Germany and other countries will showcase robotic arms, industrial robot application products and solutions, and industrial automation, providing domestic foundry companies with a learning exchange platform, where industrial automation and green concept will be implemented in the metallurgical and casting production process.
