根据西德模锻协会的统计,近年来汽车用的模锻件销售量是上升的,但同期的汽车产量增长更多,因此汽车用模锻件比例是下降的。例如,英国生产的每辆汽车,模锻件是65件,而原来采用165件。英国和西德模锻厂供应给汽车工业的锻件,各占其产量的75%和64%。随着技术上的更新,例如转子发动机的应用,需要的模锻件将更少,模锻业的前景是黯淡的。降低锻件价格是阻止这种衰落趋势的一种措施。但用其它制造工艺制造的坯件所具有的 According to the statistics of Die & Mold Association of West Germany, the sales of die forgings for automobiles have risen in recent years, but the output of automobiles has increased more in the same period. Therefore, the proportion of die forgings for automobiles has dropped. For example, for every vehicle produced in the United Kingdom, 65 forging is used instead of 165. Forgings supplied to the automotive industry by British and West German forging plants account for 75% and 64% of their production, respectively. With technical updates, such as rotor-engine applications, fewer forgings are needed and the outlook for the forging industry is bleak. Reducing the price of forgings is a measure to stop this downward trend. But with other manufacturing processes have blanks have
