They jointly explored approaches for technological breakthroughs and industrial upgrading in metal materials and thermal processing.
Wang Yanhu, Doctor of Engineering, Master’s Supervisor, Oujiang Distinguished Professor at Wenzhou University and Deputy Secretary-General of Wenzhou Society for Metal Materials, presided over the symposium.
Yu Mingliang, President of Rui’an Forging & Casting Industry Association, Deputy Secretary General of Wenzhou Pump & Valve Industry Association; Aliaksandr Shauchenka, Consul General of the Republic of Belarus in Shanghai; and Chen Xizhang, Chairman of Wenzhou Society of Metal Materials, Professor of College of Mechanical & Electrical Engineering, Wenzhou University, delivered speeches in sequence.
President Yu Mingliang elaborated on the supporting role of material and thermal processing technologies for Wenzhou’s manufacturing sector from the perspective of coordinated development of forging, casting and pump-valve industries.
Consul General Aliaksandr Shauchenka noted that against the backdrop of the China-Belarus Year of Industrial Cooperation, complementary strengths of the two countries in metallurgy, machinery manufacturing and other sectors have become increasingly prominent. He looked forward to deepening practical cooperation with Wenzhou’s industrial community.
Chairman Chen Xizhang introduced the preparation work of the society, including in-depth enterprise surveys and targeted expert invitations launched since March this year. He stated that the symposium is designed to address the real demands of local industries.
During the keynote session, Liu Kun, Doctor of Engineering, Lecturer and Master's Supervisor at the College of Mechanical & Electrical Engineering, Wenzhou University, Deputy Secretary General of the Youth Work Committee of Wenzhou Society of Metal Materials, delivered a presentation titled
High-Energy Beam Intelligent Manufacturing Empowers Pump & Valve Machining for Quality Improvement and Efficiency Gain.
Alexey Makarov, Head of the Industrial Process Automation Department of Volgograd State Technical University, presented
Application of Additive Manufacturing with Continuous Carbon Fiber Reinforcement to Create Components with Tensile Strength Comparable to Metals.
Ling Guoping, Professor & Doctoral Supervisor, Vice Director of Institute of Metal Materials, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Zhejiang University, gave a report on Theory and Practice of Failure Analysis for Metal Materials.
Academician Ju Dongying, Foreign Member of the Japanese Academy of Engineering, Member of China Association for Science and Technology, Chairman of Japan-China Science, Technology and Culture Center, delivered a speech titled Digital Intelligence Empowers, Smart Heating for Future: Development Trend and Practice of Intelligent Manufacturing in Metal Thermal Processing.
The seminar featured a vibrant academic atmosphere. According to the organizing committee, some enterprise representatives brought practical production challenges and samples to consult speakers on technical details, and several enterprises established follow-up communication channels with experts.
Prepared over months by the organizing committee, the agenda of this seminar closely addresses industrial pain points. Speakers are selected to balance academic research and industrial practice. The event drew numerous participants from the metal materials and thermal processing industrial chain. The committee announced that the next seminar will be held in October 2027. Future editions will continue to conduct in-depth research on enterprise needs and refine agenda arrangements. Industry peers are welcome to reunite in Wenzhou for this significant gathering.
