Looking forward to a better 2021 and blessings to foundry industry 期待更好的2021，祝福全球铸造业

020 is an unusual year as the COVID-19 pandemic is spreading around the world; even now there is no sign of alleviation. Normal work and life has been influenced significantly so that the established plans have been forced to be postponed or canceled. The development of foundry industry is also affected, and the industrial chain and supply chain are also in uncertainty. Now, it is time to think about how the global foundry industry will develop in the post-pandemic era. Whether you accept it or not, the pandemic has profoundly changed the way people socialize. In the case of restricted international travel, virtual negotiations and exhibitions have become the main ways to promote international communications. As a Chinese-English bilingual e-magazine with worldwide readers, Global Casting Magazine is undoubtedly the best carrier for global foundrymen to understand industry trends and grasp development opportunities. At the end of 2020, all of us are expecting a better new year. I wish the foundry industry will develop healthier and sustainable methods, and wish all our foundrymen keep safe, healthy and happy! ■

INDUSTRY NEWS/行业新闻 According to the World Steel Association, steel demand in 2021 is expected to recover to 1,717 Mt, an increase of 3.8 % over 2020 with Southeast Asia steel consumption forecast rebounding strongly to 83.2 Mt and renewed focus in infrastructure investment making the fall in steel demand less acute. As capital projects and priority infrastructure expansions in the region are predicted to stay on schedule, “GIFA and METEC Southeast Asia are ideally timed and will stimulate investment decisions in the region, which is exactly what the industry needs, as economies make progress and pent-up demand is expected to gain momentum next year,” said Mr Gernot Ringling, Managing Director, Messe Düsseldorf Asia. “Thailand has a strong and resilient market particularly for the automotive sector, though recovery to pre-crisis levels may take some time, safety concerns could boost demand for passenger cars and the move to electric vehicles is likely to continue post-pandemic consequently the die casting technology market has significant growth potential, and similarly for emerging economies such as Vietnam and Indonesia with major infrastructure projects underway,” said Mr Ringling. The conditions are favourable: Neighbouring country Vietnam continues to be a bright spot for Asian steel supply growth, helped by new capacity start-ups. Following a 30% rise in 2019, the first four months of this year saw crude steel output advance by 4.7% year over year. While Southeast Asian steel supply
铁需求将恢复到17.17亿吨，比2020年增长3.8％。东南 亚地区钢材消费量预测将强劲反弹至8320万吨，对基础 设施建设投资的重新关注减缓了钢材需求的下降趋势。 由于预计该地区的投资项目和基础设施建设将不断增 加，“经济在不断复苏且潜在需求也蓄势待发，GIFA和 METEC引入东南亚是恰逢其时的，将刺激地区投资，这 也正是行业所需要的，”杜塞尔多夫展览有限公司亚洲 区总经理Gernot Ringling先生表示：“泰国是一个巨 大而有弹性的市场，尤其是在汽车行业。尽管恢复到疫 情前的水平可能还需要时间，由于出行安全考虑，可能 会刺激乘用车的需求增长；而且，电动汽车市场在疫情 后很可能会继续发展，因此压铸行业将有巨大的增长潜 力。此外，越南和印度尼西亚等新兴经济体有很多在建 的基础设施项目。” 有利条件：由于新的产能和初创企业的出现，越南仍 然是亚洲地区钢铁需求增长的亮点。2019年，越南钢材 需求增长30％，今年前四个月的粗钢产量同比增长4.7％ 。据世界钢铁协会报道，预计2020年东南亚的钢材产量 增长趋势将基本保持平稳。越南和泰国的钢材产量增长将

INDUSTRY NEWS/行业新闻 growth is expected to remain broadly flat in 2020, with lower output forecast in Malaysia and Indonesia; this will be offset by increases in Vietnam and Thailand according to the World Steel Association. The most important sectors contributing to the region’s steel consumption are energy generation, transport, construction/civil engineering and steel/metal packaging, making the demand for metallurgy and casting technology particularly strong in Southeast Asia. “Held alongside wire and Tube Southeast Asia – the two events have been anchored in Thailand since 2007. We believe that the synergies will give the industries in the construction and the automotive production the impetus to grow. These added segments will offer a more complete showing of technology for these industries which will rebound after 2020.” shared Mr Gerrit Nawracala, Project Director, GIFA, METEC, THERMPROCESS, and NEWCAST - Düsseldorf.

Pipes for Cabinda, Water for Thousands of Homes 管通卡宾达 水润千万家 Recently, Angola Cabinda water supply system project, the first water pipeline, was officially put into operation. The Cabinda water supply system is currently the largest water supply project under construction in Angola, covering approximately 92% of the residential areas of Cabinda’s population. More than 600,000 residents will benefit directly from the completion of the project. It is understood that the project is contracted by Angola International Corporation of China Railway 20th Bureau Group Co., LTD. The ductile iron pipes used in the water supply pipeline are all from XINXING Pipes. After learning about this project, the business manager of XINXING Pipes International Development Co., LTD made several visits to the market front line to communicate with EPAL and the general contractor of the Luanda Water Bureau. In the face of transport difficulties, chaotic internal security, and the malaria epidemic in Angola, the people from XINXING Pipes have no hesitation in delivering their programmers and products to the places where they are most needed. With the advantages of "the nature of iron, the performance of steel," high strength, good toughness, corrosion resistance, good seismic resistance, and convenient construction, the ductile iron pipe has become the preferred pipe for the Cabinda water supply system project. XINXING Pipes has become the only supplier of ductile iron pipes for this project with its strong strength, product quality, and high-quality technical service. The Cabinda project construction site was originally a jungle, with mosquito, malaria, and other diseases. In order to provide better products and technical services, the after-sales service personnel of XINXING Pipes worked side by side with the field construction personnel of China Railway 20th Bureau Group Co., LTD. With the combination of high-quality products and standardized construction as well as a high degree of tacit understanding, the partnership used these complementary advantages to ensure pipeline construction safety, quality, and efficiency. After nearly 3 years of construction, the Cabinda water supply system project is fully completed. On the day when the water plant officially delivered water, village residents, dressed in festive costumes, danced with strong regional customs and sang local folk songs, crowded around the water drawing point. With clear water gushing out, the crowd boiling, everyone's face showed a very happy smile. With the rapid development of China's economy, the influence of Chinese products in overseas markets is becoming more and more extensive. XINXING Pipes will continue to adhere to the enterprise sentiment of "casting the heart and the bone and connecting the whole world to create a better life," and make new contributions to the world with highquality products and services. ■ 24

ommercially available clay and carbon reclamation technologies from foundry streams show a common theme of hydrating and agitating the foundry solids in water. The goal is to separate the active clay and carbon from the degraded “dead “clay, ash and sand in order to return the active components to the green sand system in a slurry called “blackwater.” Minerals Technologies Inc. has a trial reclamation unit to model clay and carbon reclamation scenarios from foundry sources. Using a waste stream obtained from pneumatic sand reclamation of sand in a ferrous foundry, a factorial Design of Experiments (DOE) was employed to evaluate the impact of processing variables on active clay and carbon recovery. This study presents laboratory and trial test results used to model active clay and carbon recovery from this foundry stream. The results of this study show that changing process variables can dramatically impact the recovery of active components. Green sand foundries use a combination of bentonite, water and a refractory aggregate (typically silica sand, although there are many possibilities), to create molds for the metal casting process. In many types of molding processes,

carbon is also added with the clay and water to provide additional properties to the mold and molding environment during the casting process. Liquid metal is poured into these molds, which causes many thermal alterations in the bentonite, carbon and sand aggregate. The metal is allowed to cool and solidify in the mold, after which the solid casting is removed. The remaining molding material is recovered and re-blended with new clay, carbon, water and aggregate to prepare a new mold for the next cycle of castings. The ability to recycle and reuse the bentonite and aggregate mixture is not indefinite, as the exposure to repeated heating cycles deteriorates the properties of the molding sand mixture. New sand and bentonite additions must be made while thermally degraded materials need to be removed from the mixture to maintain consistent properties suitable for molding. Within the materials that need to be removed from the foundry some resources remain that could be reclaimed and reused in the mold making process. Also, during the process of preparing the molds and casting the metal, dust is generated at several stages in the process.

This dust typically contains a mixture of very fine aggregates, thermally altered bentonite and carbon, as well as unaltered bentonite and carbon. The accumulation of dust that is generated in the process must be controlled. One approach is to remove the dust via collection systems that collect it from various pick up points and transfer it into a central container or “baghouse.”

The removed green sand and collected dust can be removed from the foundry as waste. But economic and environmental drivers such as high disposal costs and local regulations have led the foundry industry to pursue methods to reclaim and reuse these waste streams even further by reclaiming usable aggregate, clay and carbon from these sources.
Reclamation in the Foundry The goal of any foundry reclamation process is to separate the useable portion of the waste stream and upgrade it

as close to its original state as possible. In the case of sand reclamation, this is defined by the AFS Sand Reclamation Committee as “the physical, chemical, or thermal treatment of a refractory aggregate to allow its reuse without significantly lowering its original useful properties as required for the application involved.” Pneumatic sand reclamation was developed in 1948 and has been modified in the subsequent years to improve performance – fundamentally it works by using air as a medium to accelerate the green sand mixture against a fixed target. In this process, the impact against the fixed target, as well as grain to grain interactions, are used to remove the clay and carbon coating from the sand grains. As the sand falls away from the target, the materials liberated from the sand are extracted via exhaust air into a collection unit. The result is upgraded sand grains with lower clay and carbon content and a byproduct stream consisting of a fine dust product comprised of the clay and carbonaceous coating that has been removed from the sand grains. Another sand reclamation process is wet hydraulic reclamation in which water is the medium for the removal and separation of the sand, clay and carbon coating. The sand and clay mixture to be reclaimed is mixed with water and agitated intensely, and both the hydrating action of the water and the grain-to-grain contact scrub and remove the clay and carbon products adhered to the grains. Another mixing step removes and separates the clay and carbon materials suspended in the water from the sand aggregate. This resulting mixture is commonly known as “blackwater” due to the color of the fluid 30

imparted by the thermally degraded carbon products. The present study evaluated the impact of varying process variables on a trial wet reclamation system using a foundry waste product obtained from a commercial foundry. The focus was to reclaim the active clay and carbon components rather than the aggregate.
Experiment The dust byproduct from pneumatic sand reclamation of green sand at a large ferrous foundry was used in the study. This dust was characterized in the laboratory using methods outlined in the AFS Mold and Core Test Handbook for active clay concentration, total clay concentration, carbon content, volatile content and loss on ignition (Table 1.) This product stream has a very fine particle size and total clay amount of over 60% with an active clay content of approximately 35% and 13% carbon. Due to the fine sizing of the dust, there is little silica sand of usable size (larger than 200 mesh or 75 micron) to reclaim from this stream but a significant amount of active clay and carbon to reclaim. The wet reclamation unit in the experiment consisted of a mixing tank where the waste stream was introduced with water, mixed aggressively and then transferred onto a vibrating screen deck fitted with mesh panels (Fig. 1). Water nozzles above the panels sprayed water to rinse the slurry as it traveled across the vibratory screen deck; the remaining solids were discharged at the end. The aqueous mixture that passed through the screen panels was collected in a tank where the fluid settled to aid in the separation of active components from the thermally degraded “dead” components

实验 该研究使用了一家大型黑色铸造厂的粘土砂机械 法再生技术产生的粉尘副产品。在实验室中，使用 AFS模具和型芯测试手册中概述的方法对粉尘进行 了表征，以测定活性粘土浓度、总粘土浓度、碳含 量、挥发物含量和烧失量（表1）。该产品流的颗粒 非常细，总粘土含量超过60％，其中活性粘土含量 约为35％，碳含量为13％。由于粉尘的细粒度，几 乎没有可用尺寸（大于200目或75微米）的硅砂可以 回收，而是有大量的活性粘土和碳可以回收。 实验中的湿法再生装置由一个混合槽组成，在该 混合槽中将废水引入水中，进行剧烈搅拌，然后转 移到装有筛网的振动筛板上（图1）。筛板上方的喷 嘴喷水冲洗浆料，使其在振动筛板上流动，最后排 出剩余的固体。通过筛板的水性混合物被收集在水 箱中，液体在此沉降，将活性成分与流体中热降解 的“废弃”成分分离。经过1个小时的沉淀后，对水 箱进行采样并分析生成的黑水，也收集并分析了从 筛子中排出的残留砂子和细颗粒混合物。 在每次实验中，将来自气动取料器的29磅原料（ 以干重计）与900 rpm的适量水混合5分钟，以达到

in the fluid. After one hour of settling time, the tank was sampled and the resulting blackwater was analyzed. The residual sand and fines mixture that was discharged from the screen was collected and analyzed. For each experiment, 29 lbs. of the raw dust (on a dry weight basis) from the pneumatic reclaimer was mixed for five minutes at 900 rpm with the appropriate amount of water to achieve the desired solids concentration in the mixing tank. The resulting slurry was transferred to the vibratory screen deck and sprayed with water. The experiments were timed, and the blackwater that passed through the screen deck was collected for testing. Volume and density of the fluids were measured in addition to the solids content, active clay content and carbon content. The solids content of the blackwater was obtained by using a loss on drying method. A sample of the collected blackwater was weighed and dried in an oven until a constant weight was achieved. The residual solids from the dried blackwater was crushed into a fine particle size (-140 micron) prior to additional testing. The residual sand and fine solids were collected as they discharged from the end of the screen deck and dried for subsequent testing.
Results The experimental results show the concentration of solids in the mixture before screening and the rate of rinse water applied to the screening deck have a significant impact in the total solids, active clay concentration and active clay recovery in the resulting blackwater fluid. Data indicates the total solids, active clay and active clay recovery can vary between 6.5% to 14.7%, 51.8% to 64.8%, and 62.3% to 72% respectively as the concentration of dust solids in the mixture and the flow rate of rinse water were varied between 25%–35% and 0.75 gallons per minute and 1.25 gallons per minute respectively. The elevation of the screen deck was not found to be a main effect in modeling any of the responses measured in this study. The results from the ANOVA-generated statistically significant models indicating slurry concentration and flow rate have opposite impacts on the responses of total solids and active clay concentration in the blackwater. As the slurry concentration was increased, the total solids increased, but the active clay decreased. Conversely, active clay concentration in the blackwater decreased as the slurry concentration was increased but also increased as the flow rate of the rinse water was increased. Due to these competing factors, the active clay recovery was maximized with a combination of lower slurry concentration with lower flow rates. The contour graph for active clay recovery suggests higher recovery values may be obtained by increasing the solids concentration in the slurry beyond 35% by weight. Literature also suggests a higher solids concentration might be beneficial as recommendations for wet hydraulic reclamation have historically been in the range of 70%–80% solids. Initial attempts to achieve solids levels of greater than 50% on the trial equipment with 32

结论 实验结果表明，筛分之前混合物中的固体浓度和 用于筛分平台上的冲洗水的速率对黑水流体中的总 固体浓度、活性粘土浓度和活性粘土回收率都有显 著影响。数据表明，随着混合物中粉尘固体的浓度 和冲洗水的流速在25％–35％和0.75加仑/分钟和 1.25加仑/分钟之间变化，总固体、活性粘土和其回 收率分别在6.5％至14.7％，51.8％至64.8％和62.3 ％至72％之间变化。本研究中测量的任何模型中， 没有发现筛板的高度是主要影响因素。 方差分析生成的具有统计意义的模型的结果表 明，浆料浓度和流速对黑水中总固体和活性粘土 浓度的反应具有相反的影响。随着金属液浓度的 增加，总固体含量增加，但活性粘土减少。相反， 黑水中的活性粘土浓度随着金属液浓度的增加而降 低，但随着冲洗水流量的增加而增加。由于这些矛 盾因素，结合了较低的金属液浓度和较低的流速， 使活性粘土的回收率最大化。 活性粘土回收的等值线图表明，通过将浆料中的 固体浓度增加到35％（按重量）以上，可以获得更 高的回收率。资料还表明，较高的固体浓度可能是 有益的，因为从过去的经验看，湿法液压再生的固 体浓度建议范围是70％–80％。由于膨润土的粘性， 使用机械法砂再生的富含粘土的副产物很难在试验 设备上得到大于50％的固体含量。测试发现，使用 该副产物，在低得多的初始固体浓度下仍可以达到 大于65％的活性粘土回收率。可以相信，与典型的 含有较少粘土的湿砂相比，气动回收工艺副产品的 粒度更细，总粘土浓度和活性粘土的浓度更高，需 要更少的机械作业，就可从混合物中获得活性粘土

this clay-rich byproduct from pneumatic sand reclamation proved to be difficult due to the viscosity generated by the bentonite clay. During testing, it was found that active clay recovery values of greater than 65% could still be achieved at much lower initial solids concentrations with this by-product. It is believed the finer particle size and higher total and active clay concentrations of the byproduct from pneumatic reclamation process require less mechanical work to liberate the active clay and carbon from the material compared to typical green sand, which has a much lower total clay content. Therefore, 70%–80% solids in the initial mixture may not be required for optimum active clay recovery. The analysis of the residual sands indicates that some active clay and carbon are not being recovered in the blackwater. Even within the experiment that yielded the highest active clay recovery (72%), the blackwater solids are still comprised of approximately 25% non-clay and non-carbon material that would return to the green sand system along with active clay. Variation also occurred with respect to the mass balances of the experiments. More active clay was expected in the residual solids given the amount recovered in the blackwater. The combination of active clay recovered in the blackwater and in the residual solids only accounts for an average of 74% of the active clay initially present. By contrast, the amount of carbon recovered in the blackwater combined with residual solids accounts for an average of 105% of the carbon being recovered. Variation in measurements and homogeneity of the samples are likely factors contributing to this observation. The experimental results for carbon recovery in the blackwater did not produce a statistically significant model but did show some interesting results. In the blackwater fluids, the total carbon recovery was lower than the active clay recovery, and the residual solids collected after screening showed a higher carbon content than the blackwater. However, a difference was noted in the properties of carbon retained in blackwater compared to the carbon contained in the residual sand. The ratio of amount of volatile material at 1,200F (649C) compared to the amount of carbon present in the sample is different between the carbon retained in the blackwater fluid and the carbon retained in the residual solids (Tables 4 and 5). The carbon contained in blackwater appears to have more volatiles as a function of total carbon compared to carbon in the residual solids. The difference in the volatile generation between the carbon retained in the blackwater and the carbon retained in the residual solids suggests the carbon retained in the blackwater is more “active” or more readily produces volatiles. However, this will require further investigation as active clay in the blackwater may also contribute some small amount of volatile matter. ■
和碳。因此，可能不需要初始混合物中含有70％–80 ％的固体，即可获得最佳的活性粘土回收率。 对残留砂的分析表明，黑水中没有回收到一些活性 粘土和碳。即使在最高活性粘土回收率（72％）的实 验中，黑水中的固体仍包含约25％的非粘土和非碳材 料，这些物质会与活性粘土一起返回到湿砂体系中。 实验的气态平衡也发生了变化。在给定黑水中回收 的残留固体，可以得到更多的活性粘土。在黑水和残 留固体中回收的活性粘土的组合平均仅占最初存在的 活性粘土的74％。相比之下，黑水中回收的碳量与残 留的固体平均占回收碳的105％。测量值的变化和样 品的均质性可能是导致这一变化的因素。 黑水中碳回收的实验结果没有产生具有显著意义的 统计学模型，但产生了一些有趣的结果。在黑水中， 总碳回收率低于活性粘土回收率，筛分后收集的残余 固体显示出比黑水更高的碳含量。但是，与残留砂中 所含的碳相比，黑水中残留的碳的性质存在差异。残 留在黑水中的碳与残留在残余固体中的碳之间的差异 是，在1200°F（649°C）下挥发性物质的量与样品中 所含碳的量的比不同（表4和表5）。与残留固体中的 碳相比，作为总碳量，黑水中所含的碳似乎具有更多 的挥发成份。保留在黑水中的碳与残留在残余固体中 的碳之间生成的挥发物差异表明，保留在黑水中的碳 更“活泼”或更容易产生挥发物。但是，还需要进一 步的研究，因为黑水中的活性粘土也可能产生少量的 挥发性物质。 ■

年前，首次提出了5,500吨和6,200吨压铸机的想法。当 时，人们骄傲的微笑迎来了今天的现实。压铸行业中最 初的怀疑态度已被抛弃，因为交付的第一批机器已经生 产出了优质铸件。 同时，意德拉已经获得了12份大型机器订单，这些 订单是Neo系列的Giga Press压铸机。 Giga Press 3号压铸机仍完全安装在 Travagliato（BS）的意德拉展厅中，目前正在进行拆 卸并准备装运。需要多达24辆平板卡车来运输这台430 吨的巨型设备，知道它的尺寸（20m x 7.5m x 6m）也

transport the 430-ton giant, which is no wonder considering the dimensions (20m x 7.5m x 6m). With this, IDRA is building the largest presses in the world at the moment. But it is not about the sheer size, rather about rethinking the possible uses of aluminum die casting, reports General Manager Riccardo Ferrario during the Open House event in Italy. In the meantime, almost all OEMs and well-known Tier 1 suppliers for the automotive industry are interested in the possibilities of this new technology. After IDRA had grown strongly in recent years with its large machines for structural components, the company wanted to break new ground strategically. The starting point was the question of what will be absolutely necessary for the vehicles of the coming generations with hybrid or electric drives, and what can be visionarily rethought in lightweight construction. From the requirements for battery housings for vehicles, the idea arose to develop new solutions for the entire area of underbody for automobiles and trucks. Front underbody, battery housing and rear underbody, each made of one cast part. Lightweight construction in all variations for more demanding -- but also daring -- constructions with the following premises: 1) Super large chassis parts, in which many individual parts were previously necessary, are now cast in one die-cast part 2) Best automated production with high process stability and efficiency 3) Sustainable and environmentally-friendly approach IDRA General Manager Riccardo Ferrario simply sums up the advantages. With drastically fewer individual parts and the associated processes, facilities and tests, investment and production costs can be saved. Two Giga presses are cheaper than four large 4000t machines and considerable savings can be achieved in the entire assembly area. One speaks of about 20% based on the entire process with fixations, robots and quality inspection of the individual parts. The keyword is „quality“ -- the arguments mentioned here are better features, the stability and
就不觉得奇怪了。 意德拉公司正在建造目前世界上最大的压铸机。公司 总经理Riccardo Ferrario在意大利举行的工厂开放日活 动中表示，但是并不仅仅是尺寸，而且要重新考虑铝压 铸件的更多可能用途。 同时，几乎所有原始设备制造商和汽车行业知名的一 级供应商都对这种新技术的更多可能性感兴趣。 近年来，意德拉公司凭借其用于结构件的大型设备获 得了强劲发展，公司希望实施战略创新。 出发点是以下问题：新一代混合动力或电动车的绝对 需求是什么，对轻型结构的预见。从车辆电池外壳的要 求出发，提出了为汽车和卡车的整个车身底部区域开发 新的解决方案的想法。前车身底部、电池壳体和后车身 底部均由一个铸件制成。 各种轻型结构满足更严格和大胆的要求： 1）将以前由许多零件组成的超大型底盘件铸造为1 个压铸件； 2）更高水平的自动化生产，具有较高的工艺稳定性 和效率； 3）可持续和环境友好的工艺。 意德拉公司总经理Riccardo Ferrario简单总结了优 势：大大减少了单个零件的使用以及，相关工艺、设备 和测试，投资和生产成本降低。 两台Giga压铸机比四台大型4000t压铸机便宜，并且 在整个装配区域都可以节省大量资金。固定件、机器人 和单个零件的质量检查占整个生产的20％。关键词是“ 质量”——更好的性能、铸件的稳定性和硬度，以及 质量控制的简化，即每3个铸件通过一个测试代码进行

stiffness of the casting part, and also the simplification of the quality control, which is a check performed through one test code for every 3 cast parts. With regard to sustainability and environmentally friendly production, the concept of fewer and therefore very large die-cast parts can achieve advantages of up to 20% less effort, especially in terms of energy consumption, because up to 100 kg of aluminum are required to produce an 80 kg cast part. The 1-Shot strategy for large die-cast parts also helps to save energy and resources in the long term. With these specifications and the goal of rethinking die casting, the IDRA engineers and above all chief designer Fiorenzo Diono were entrusted with the task of developing the Giga Press.
检查。 关于可持续性和环境友好型生产，理念是更少，因 此，大型压铸件可以节省高达20％的能耗。生产80公斤 的铸件需要重达100公斤的铝。从长远来看，一次成型 的大型压铸件生产策略还有助于节约能源和资源。 有了这些技术参数和重新考虑压铸工艺的目标，意德 拉的工程师以及首席设计师Fiorenzo Diono便受命开发 Giga Press压铸机。

SUPPLIER’S PERSPECTIVE/供应商观点
How Is the Indian Foundry Industry Doing in Stormy Times? An interview with MR. SUBODH PANCHAL, an insider and profound expert on the current situation. thomas fritsch chief editor
新冠肺炎疫情时期的印度铸造业 Subodh Panchal：铸造业业内人士及资深专家 主编Thomas Fritsch For almost a year, people all over the world have been fighting with different measures and success against the Covid-19 pandemic. It has also hit India and its ever-onthe-start industry hard. Today I have the chance to ask a long-time friend and colleague some questions about the current situation in India. Mr. Subodh Panchal is an excellent entrepreneur and leader of the industry and a profound expert in the foundry industry. As former IIF President, WFO member, BRICS board member and as an organizer of countless congresses he is recommended and well known far beyond the borders. Q: Subodh, in recent months, we have heard frightening figures for Covid-19 from India, with the second-highest number of infections in the world after the US. Since midOctober 2020, the numbers of new infections have been falling significantly. We sincerely hope you are healthy and safe. How is the situation in India currently in society and in industry in times of Covid-19? Panchal: Correct, India reached the second-highest level of cases of infection. In the first three months of the pandemic, from March to June, everything was under lock down. From June onwards, manufacturing units were allowed to work on a part time basis with safety controls. Schools and colleges are still closed and classes are taken online daily. Many offices are have allowed staff to work from home. The number of cases and mortality was reduced drastically in October. Luckily in known foundry families all are safe. Thanks for your concern. Q: To what extent is the foundry industry affected and are there differences by region and in production of iron, steel and non-ferrous? Panchal: In India foundry workers are mostly from two states, UP and Bihar. They have started migration to homes by available trains, buses and even by foot when transportation was closed.. traveling up to 1000 kms! Industries in all four regions
近一年来，世界各地的人们都在采取不同的措施与新 冠肺炎疫情作斗争。疫情也严重打击了印度及其新兴产 业。就印度铸造业的发展现状，我采访了一位老朋友及 同行。 Subodh Panchal先生是铸造行业的杰出企业家和领 导者，也是铸造行业的专家。作为印度铸造协会的前主 席、世界铸造组织成员、金砖国家铸造业联合会成员， 以及很多次大会的组织者，他已闻名于行业内外并受到 赞誉。 Subodh先生，近几个月来，我们听到了来自印度的 新冠疫情方面令人震惊的数字，印度的感染数量仅次于 美国，位居世界第二。自2020年10月中旬以来，新感 染病例已大大减少。我们衷心希望您健康和安全。在新 冠疫情时期，印度的社会和行业发展状况如何？ 是的，印度的确诊病例数位居全球第二。在疫情的前 几个月，即3-6月，一切都处于封锁状态。从6月开始， 允许制造业从业人员在符合安全措施的情况下短时间工 作。而学校仍然关闭，学生们每天在线上课。许多公司 都允许员工在家办公。10月份的病例数和死亡率都大大 下降了。 幸运的是，就目前所知，铸造业的从业人员都很安 全。感谢你的关心！ 印度铸造业受到了多大的影响？不同地区以及黑色、 有色铸件的产量是否存在差异？ 印度的铸造工人主要来自两个邦，北方邦和比哈尔 邦。自交通中断开始，他们 已经乘坐火车、公共汽车， 甚至步行长达1000公里返回 家中。 印度4个地区的工业曾一度 陷入困境，直到6月份之后， 才慢慢恢复。直到9月份，这

of India suffered until June. Thereafter, returning back was started slowly. Now, it is almost normal as of September. Even workers coming from nearby villages of Metro cities could not come due to lack of public transportation. One must praise the government for providing free hospitalization, food to the needy, deferring payment of installments, interest, electric bills etc. Even free trains were operated for migrant workers. However, social distancing, wearing masks, and other safety measures are still ignored by many. Q: How do companies cope with the impact in the domestic market and how are export-oriented companies affected? Panchal: Most of the MSME units are in severe financial crisis. The majority had paid workers at least for March and April, without any work. Production and sales were at zero, and no transportation was available even if the products were ready to ship. Similarly, there were no incoming raw materials. Ports movement was also stopped for the first 3 months, completely stopping import/export. Q: Is there government support for businesses or support on the capital market, and what does the pandemic mean for jobs and education in India? Panchal: As mentioned, for businesses the government extended bank borrowing limits, deferred various payments and taxes, reduced interest on borrowing etc. Unsecured jobs and daily earners were affected very badly. Education is given online to all students. Business travel is almost at zero, but webinars, meetings on zoom, etc. are in full swing. Q: In March of this year, during IFEX, the Indian foundry industry announced the paradigm shift towards more efficiency, higher quality, digitalisation, better working conditions, environmental protection. Is it now driven by the pandemic perhaps faster than expected? Panchal: Obviously nothing of that sort is feasible. But now production has reached 70-80% in foundries and other industries. It is hoped to be normal by December this year. When will the economy recover and who will be left in the end? What´s about the next IFEX in 2021 or better 2022? • The foundry industry had reasonable growth of 6-7% until 2018-19. But due to the downturn in automotive and other sectors, the foundry industry has taken steep downward trend. India’s overall economy is expected to grow by 8-9% in 2020-21. • The government is fast-tracking infrastructure projects, and there are some green shoots in mining and earthmoving. • The monsoon is good this year, so the demand for castings is booming in the agriculture industry, an unexpected demand which foundries are trying hard to meet. • Demand from the export market is good, and routine shipments are started. The trend is expected to continue next year also. • The 69th IFC and IFEX is scheduled in Kolkata in 2021, but a final decision will have to be made soon. • The 70th IFC and IFEX will be in Mumbai in Feb, 2022. Dates will be finalised shortly. • The WFO Technical Forum is scheduled in India in 2023. ■

一切几乎恢复了正常。由于公共交通匮乏，连大城市附 近村庄的工人也不能返回岗位。 政府为有需要的人提供免费住院和食物，推迟分期 还款和支付利息、电费等，甚至为农民工加开了免费火 车。但是，很多人仍然不遵守保持社交距离、配戴口罩 等安全措施。 企业如何应对国内市场变化的影响？出口企业受到 了什么影响？ 大多数中小企业都处于严重的财务危机中。大多数 企业在没有复工的情况下至少支付了工人三月和四月的 工资。这两个月的生产和销售为零，生产出来的产品 也无法完成运输和发货。同样，也无法获得进口的原材 料。港口运输在前三个月也停止了，因此进出口完全中 断。 政府对企业给予了支持还是对资本市场的支持？疫 情对印度的就业和教育行业有什么影响？ 我之前已经提到，对于企业，政府增加了银行借款 限额，推迟了各种付款和税收，降低了借款利息。无抵 押工作和日薪工作受到的影响非常大。政府向所有学生 提供在线上课。商务旅行几乎为零，但是网络研讨会、 视频会议等正在全面开展。 在今年3月的印度铸造展（IFEX）期间，印度铸造业 宣布了向更高效率、更高质量、数字化、更好的工作环 境及环保方向的转变。由于疫情的影响，转型速度是不 是比预期的要快？ 显然，这个预期是无法实现的。但是现在，铸造 厂和其他行业的产量已达到70-80％。希望到今年12月 能恢复正常。 印度经济何时会复苏？2021年印度铸造展（IFEX） 或2022年的展会有什么新消息？ • 2018-2019年，铸造行业的合理增长率为6-7％。但
是由于汽车及其他行业不景气，铸造业呈急剧下降 的趋势。预计2020-2021年，印度整体经济的增速 为8-9％。 • 政府部门正在紧密跟进基础设施项目，采矿和建设
工程也在蓬勃发展。 • 今年的雨季很好，因此农机铸件的需求迅速增长，
铸造厂正努力满足这一出乎意料的增长需求。 • 出口市场需求旺盛，已开始日常的发货。预计明年
这种趋势还将继续。 • 2021年第69届印度铸造大会（IFC）和印度铸造展
（IFEX）计划在加尔各答举行，很快将做出最终决 定。 • 第70届印度铸造大会（IFC）和印度铸造展（IFEX）
将于2022年2月在孟买举办，具体日期近期确定。 • 世界铸造组织技术论坛计划于2023年在印度举行。■

Super quick refractory lining fix saves Schlicht Druckguss precious production time 超快速的炉衬修复为施利希特公司节约宝贵的生产时间 An innovative furnace lining and pre-sintered refractory parts solution from StrikoWestofen for Westomat dosing furnaces has provided a much-needed quick fix for Schlicht Druckguss, a high-pressure die casting foundry specializing in the global supply of aluminium alloy parts, moulds and tooling. Based in Holzminden, Lower Saxony, Germany, the Schlicht Druckguss die casting plant sees Italpresse Gauss die casting machines handle around 1,700 tonnes of aluminium every year, all fed with liquid metal from its melting plants. “Our Westomat dosing furnace works extremely hard feeding our busy production lines – having to replace their linings at some point is inevitable”, said Mr. Hans Jürgen Kubiak, technical leader at Schlicht Druckguss. “What isn’t inevitable is keeping this process quick enough to avoid any potentially damaging downtime. At least that’s what I thought ahead of trying StrikoWestofen’s replacement service.”
史杰克西公司的Westomat定量炉所提供的创 新型炉衬和预烧结耐火部件解决方案为施利希特公司 提供了急需的快速修复方法。施利希特是一家压铸企 业，是专门提供铝合金零件、工装模具的全球化供应 商。 施利希特压铸公司位于德国下萨克森州霍尔茨 明登，其使用的意特佩雷斯高斯压铸机每年需铝液约 1,700吨，所有铝液都来自其熔炼车间。 施利希特公司的技术负责人HansJürgenKubiak先生说：“我们的Westomat定量炉不停地为繁 忙的生产线供应铝液，因此，在某个时刻必须更换炉 衬是不可避免的。但是可以优化的是，要使此过程足 够快，以免造成任何潜在的停机时间。至少在尝试史 杰克西的更换服务之前，我就是这么认为的。”
Replace and repair, without the risk
需要维修或安装不当的炉衬可以使总能耗增加 多达30％。它还可能导致压力密封性问题，计量不正 确以及零件配合不良，所有这些都会对熔炉的使用寿 命、生产率和熔体质量产生负面影响。 这些问题需要恰当的处理。但是问题是耐火材 料的修复可能需要很长时间，从而可能增加停机时 间，影响利润。Hans Jürgen Kubiak先生继续说 道：“这是我们需要维修Westomat 650 SL ProDos xp炉衬时遇到的情况。因此，当史杰克西公司为我们 提供了试用他们的快速更换炉衬和预制耐火零件的机 会时，我们渴望看到该服务的速度和有效性。而且我 们绝对不会失望”。
A furnace lining in need of repair or poorly repaired/ fitted can increase total energy consumption by as much as 30%. It can also lead to pressure tightness problems, resulting in dosing inaccuracies, and to a poor fit of parts – all of which can negatively impact furnace service life, productivity, and melt quality. They need to be repaired properly. The problem is refractory repairs can take a long time. This translates to production downtime that can threaten profit. “Which is the scenario we were facing when we needed to repair the lining on our Westomat 650 SL ProDos xp”, continued Mr. Hans Jürgen Kubiak. “So when StrikoWestofen offered us the opportunity to try their fast-turnaround lining and pre-fabricated refractory parts, we were keen to see exactly how fast, and how effective, the service could be. We definitely weren’t disappointed”.
5-day delivery, long-term advantages StrikoWestofen’s in-factory lining and pre-fabricated refractory interchange parts service meant that Schlicht Druckguss received its new lining, complete with all new seals and wear parts required, in just 5 working days. Holger Stephan, who manages the Service and Spare Parts division at StrikoWestofen, said: “Our customer needed a quick turn-around solution. The fact we have in-house relining capabilities and always hold standard sized precast refractory parts in stock, meant we could replace, lacquer, pressure test, and have their finished furnace lining ready in an incredibly short space of time.” Less downtime was not the only benefit delivered. The high-grade materials used by StrikoWestofen,
更换和维修，没有风险
5天交货，长期优势 史杰克西的厂内炉衬和预制耐火部件更换服务 意味着施利希特公司在短短5个工作日内就收到了新 的炉衬，包括所有新的密封件和耐磨部件。 史杰克西管理服务和备件部门的Holger Stephan说：“我们的客户需要快速的周转解决方 案。我们拥有厂内的炉衬更换能力，并且始终储备 标准尺寸的预制耐火部件，这意味着我们可以进行更 换、上漆、压力测试，并在非常短的时间内完成。” 减少停机时间并不是唯一的优势。史杰克西公 司所使用的高档材料，加上最新的石棉和无陶瓷纤 维的陶瓷保温技术，意味着熔炉的外壁温度大约为 60℃，更换炉衬的温度损失很少，确保了最小的能

product news/产品新闻 together with the latest asbestos and ceramic fibre-free insulation techniques, mean outside wall temperatures of approx. 60° C and less are achieved on replacement linings. This ensures minimal energy loss. Holger Stephan added: “The materials and techniques we use also help prolong service life – a very high level of mechanical abrasion resistance is achieved. Additionally, because components are pre-dried at around 500ºC at our factory, this virtually eliminates the risk of later contamination of the melt with hydrogen”.
A fast-turnaround, tailored The prefabricated elements offered by StrikoWestofen as part of their innovative re-lining service are suitable for all common aluminium alloys, with development of parts compatible with special alloys also available on consultation, making the service a perfect fit for the range of parts, moulds and tools produced by Schlicht Druckguss. Mr. Hans Jürgen Kubiak concluded: “We knew the whole idea behind this service is speed, even so we were really impressed.

product news/产品新闻 High-Quality Products CC3, the third-generation sintered ceramic sand for casting and an achievement with proprietary intellectual property, has outstanding features such as more environment-friendly technology, more excellent functions, and higher cost performance. The main technical and quality features include: • Higher refractoriness: CC-3≥1800ºC. In special casting conditions with higher temperature, it can provide better adaptability and lower the ratio of defects such as sand burning-on, sintering, and veining; Low thermal expansion coefficient: It can greatly lower the defects and improve the size accuracy of cast products. • Lower angular coefficient: The full sintered ceramic sand can effectively improve the breathability and surface accuracy of cast products. • Higher ceramic sand roundness: With a low rate of damages, the recovery rate is as high as 95%; the renewable time is three times that of quartz sand and two times that of fused ceramic sand, showing better recycling performance and lowering the costs of handling industrial solid wastes. • Lower bulk density: If the weights are the same, KAIST ceramic sand can produce additional 25% sand core compared with fused ceramic sand to lower the procurement cost. • Compared with fused ceramic sand, its volume density is similar to that of quartz sand. It can be easily mixed when blending with quartz sand to avoid layered segregation. • Due to the more uniform core-making density, the quality of cast products remains stable, providing higher regeneration rate of waste sand. • The stable product properties and uniform colors can guarantee that the workshops are dust-free, green, and environment-friendly.
