China’s First Additively Manufactured Impact-Type Hydro Turbine Runner Prototype Successfully Developed
Additive manufacturing technology is hailed as one of the key technologies driving the “Third Industrial Revolution” and has become an important means of accelerating the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing sector. Harbin Electric Group Motor Company entered this field as early as 2013, making it one of the first domestic organizations to conduct research on the application of 3D printing technology. In 2015, the company successfully manufactured China’s first non-metallic 3D-printed model runner suitable for hydraulic testing of model turbines, thereby completing the feasibility study and preliminary R&D on metal 3D-printing technology for model runners.

Central and local governments accelerate the development of manufacturing clusters.
Manufacturing clusters are set to receive even stronger policy support! According to reports, China will accelerate the refinement of top-level design for fostering and developing manufacturing clusters, draft and release relevant policy documents, and launch a special initiative to promote the development of manufacturing clusters. At the same time, the government will fully leverage the role of its investment funds to swiftly cultivate a number of manufacturing clusters that are internationally competitive.
A Machining Method for the Internal Bore of Cylinder-Barrel-Type Parts
Hollow cylindrical components typically have a large length-to-diameter ratio and thin wall thickness, with stringent requirements for internal bore accuracy and surface roughness. In existing technologies, the machining of the internal bore of such cylinder blanks begins with seamless steel tubing as the raw material: first, the tubing is cut to the required length; then the blank undergoes preliminary processing, including straightening and quenching-and-tempering; next, both ends are turned and bored using process locating shoulders and external welding shoulders; subsequently, external cylinder components are welded on; followed by rough boring of the internal bore; then finish boring; and finally, finish honing.
The Gains and Losses of the Machine Tool Industry
The machine tool industry is often referred to as the “mother of industry,” meaning, in simple terms, a machine that makes other machines. It is a concentrated reflection of a nation’s industrial strength; however, for us, it remains a weak link.
