The experts pointed out that the prominent problems of China's foundry industry are: scale, lack of strength; Have quantity, lack bibcock; Speed, lack of efficiency; Export, lack of grade; Progress, lack of innovation; There is management, lack of fine; Is a "virtual fat", is not a strong "giant". The great turbulence, adjustment and reorganization of the global market caused by the global financial crisis have formed a forcing mechanism for China's foundry industry. Some small businesses have been washed out of the market. Precision foundry

The big gap between the whole process, equipment and technology level of foundry enterprises and developed countries is a problem that China's foundry industry must face. China has a large number of foundry enterprises, with a total of more than 30,000, which is more than the total number of foundries in the world. With so many foundries and such a small scale, the average annual output of each enterprise is very low, which is only 1/9~1/4 of that of industrial developed countries and even lower than the average output of Indian enterprises. For example, the casting enterprises with an annual output of less than 1000 tons in Shanxi Province account for about 30%~50% of the total number of casting enterprises in the province.

In addition, although the foundry industry in the national economy is not ranked in the most serious energy consumption and pollution, but in the machinery manufacturing industry is a higher energy consumption, more serious environmental pollution industry. The energy consumption of foundry industry accounts for 25%~30% of the total energy consumption of machinery industry. For every 1 ton of qualified casting, about 50 kg of dust, 1000~2000 cubic meters of waste gas, 0.5~1.0 tons of waste sand and 300 kg of waste slag are discharged. Some developed countries produce a ton of qualified casting waste emissions less than 1/10 of our country, foundry investment in environmental protection accounted for the whole foundry equipment investment 20%~30%, while China only accounted for 5%~10%.
