By the Chinese Mechanical Engineering Society, Henan Provincial Science and Technology Association, the national superhard materials and products high-tech industrialization base (Shangqiu) hosted by the Henan Provincial Mechanical Engineering Society, China Superhard Materials Network and other units to host the Fourth China Superhard Materials Industry Development Forum and 2018 China Diamond Wire Cutting Industry Chain Seminar Forum (hereinafter referred to as the Forum), March 22-24, in Zhengzhou City, the International Convention and Exhibition Center was successfully held. Convention and Exhibition Center was successfully held.

Attending the forum were Li Peigen Academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering, Chairman of Chinese Mechanical Engineering Society (CMES), Tan Jianrong Academician, Vice Chairman of CMES, Cao Kui, Secretary of Party Group of Henan Provincial Association for Science and Technology, Deng Hongjun, Minister of the Department of the Society, Gao Wensheng, Vice Chairman and Secretary General of Henan Provincial Engineering Society, Liu Mingliang, Vice Chairman of Shangqiu Municipal Political Consultative Conference, Liang Hui, Secretary of CPC Committee of Zhecheng County, and Wang Qinsheng, Chairman of the Specialized Committee of Provincial Superhard Materials and Tools, and so on. The forum held an opening ceremony and keynote presentation scholars from Canada, Germany, Russia, more than 20 provinces and cities in the domestic industry experts, scholars, entrepreneurs and other about 460 people attended the event.

Mr. Cao Kui, Secretary of the Party Group of the Provincial Association for Science and Technology, made a speech for the opening of the conference, explaining the purpose of this forum, i.e., to better support the development of emerging industries and better serve the development of China's IT-Photovoltaic industry, with the theme of General Secretary Xi's "Promoting the transformation of Made-in-China to China's Creation, the transformation of China's speed to China's quality, and the transformation of China's products to China's brands", and the implementation of the Collaboration and Innovation Booster Project of the Chinese Association for Science and Technology. The forum takes the upstream and downstream industrial chain of new diamond wire saw as the blueprint, integrates diamond synthesis, wire saw manufacturing, quality inspection and new technology application as the ecosystem, and invites several senior experts from the field of superhard materials, representatives of industry, academia and research institutes, and representatives of enterprises to share the latest research results and typical cases.

The forum began with a keynote report by Academician Li Peigen, who made a speech on "The Essentials of Intelligent Manufacturing" for the forum. Intelligent manufacturing is a kind of manufacturing mode integrating automation, intelligence and networking, which integrates advanced manufacturing, automation and artificial intelligence and other information technologies. Intelligent manufacturing is leading the human manufacturing mode change and manufacturing industry upgrading, has become a new round of global manufacturing competition of the heights, the report combined with the implementation of the "Made in China 2025 plan" and China's traditional manufacturing industry how to transformation, innovation and development, etc. made in-depth comparative analysis and explanation.

Tan Jianrong, vice president of the Chinese Mechanical Engineering Society and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, made a keynote report entitled "Intelligent Manufacturing - Key Technologies and Implementation Pathways" for this forum. How to realize the effective and deep integration of information technology and industrialization and other aspects of the key technologies and implementation of the path of the discussion, combined with the implementation of intelligent manufacturing workshop in Henan Province, part of the enterprise production line of the technological transformation of the practice, pointed out that in line with the laws of engineering can be operated by the technical route for the implementation of the traditional machinery factories manufacturing transformation has a good reference reference significance.

The forum mainly involves diamond single crystal, micropowder, special steel wire processing, diamond wire cutting tools, photovoltaic processing technology and related manufacturing equipment, testing instruments and other aspects of the technical exchanges, and during the same period in the 20th (2018) Central China (Zhengzhou) International Equipment Manufacturing Expo opened up the convening of the diamond wire cutting tools industry chain thematic exhibition.

Speakers attending this forum also include Prof. Wang Qinsheng of Zhongyuan Institute of Technology, Prof. Liu Yibo of China Steel Research and Technology Group Corporation, Prof. Zhang Yingjiu of Zhengzhou University, Prof. He Yuehui, Yangtze River Scholar and Chief Engineer of Powder Metallurgy Research Institute of Central South University, Prof. Zhou Bo of Diamond Micronized Powder, Prof. Long Weimin of Zhengzhou Mechanical Research Institute, Dr. Liu Ruihong of Zhenjiang Rongde New Energy Science and Technology Co. Dr. Liu Rui Hong of Zhenjiang Rongde New Energy Technology Co., Ltd, Mr. Wang Xiangdong, Director of R&D Department of LONGi Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd, and Mr. Zhan Baohua, Senior Engineer of Shengliwier (China) New Material Technology Co. Each expert made a wonderful report from the synthesis of diamond monocrystal, the preparation of micro-powder, the treatment of special steel wire, the manufacturing process of wire cutting tools, professional testing and analyzing instruments and equipment, and the application of cutting PV wafer technology and other core affairs. The series of reports of the above experts are close to the actual engineering production, with distinctive scientific, advanced and practical characteristics, reflecting the systematic characteristics and technological progress direction of the industry-university-research-application business of the new diamond wire-cutting industry chain, and have been highly praised by the representatives of the conference.

As an important content of this forum and technical exchange activities, the "Report on the Development of Superhard Materials Disciplines and Industries in Henan Province" approved by the Provincial Association for Science and Technology was released at the forum. The report analyzes and describes the development history, status quo, industrial scale and technological innovation progress of the superhard materials discipline and industry in Henan Province, and puts forward pertinent policy suggestions on several issues affecting the development of the discipline and industry. The release of regular (irregular) reports on the development of disciplines and related industries has become an important initiative for the Association and the Society to play the role of a think tank, serve the regional economic and social development, and play an important role in building a regional technological innovation system. Participating experts and representatives also visited the same period the Convention and Exhibition Center Exhibition Hall held the 20th Central China (Zhengzhou) International Equipment Manufacturing Expo (referred to as "Central China Manufacturing Expo"), held annually in the spring in Zhengzhou, after several years of careful organization, patience and cultivation, and has now developed into the central region, the industry has an influential and appealing brand event, has now become a set of professional academic forums, advanced manufacturing technology reports, Now it has become a large-scale comprehensive service-oriented academic exchange platform with professional academic forum, advanced manufacturing technology report, second classroom of provincial universities and colleges, more than 1,200 exhibitors from home and abroad participated in this exhibition and carried out exchanges and interactions and discussions, in order to jointly explore the development of new advanced diamond wire-cutting tools on the new industry's new path of technological progress.
