A high-tech tool was born before the birth of "difficult"

On the one hand, the country spends nearly 10 million US dollars per year to import high-performance ceramic knives. On the Other hand, the similar products independently researched and developed by the Ministry of Science and Technology have not been able to be introduced to the market. This makes Ling Guoliang, the chairman of Zhejiang Lingri Composite Materials Co., Ltd., anxious: "The same performance of the tool, China basically depends on imports, the price of imported tools is 30 dollars per piece, 8 times more expensive than our own developed products, but due to financing difficulties We can only watch people earn high profits."

High-performance ceramic tools have the advantages of high hardness, high strength and high temperature oxidation resistance. They are recognized as the most competitive tools in the 21st century and are widely used in numerical control and multi-tool automatic machine tools. Ceramic knives are superior to traditional carbide tools in processing high-hard materials, saving power and saving time. With the support of the National 863 High-Tech Fund, Lingri Company and Zhejiang University Metal Materials Research Institute have developed ultra-fine ceramic metal composite materials with independent intellectual property rights after three years of hard work. Filled the domestic gap, it can completely replace imports, and passed the national 863 project acceptance last year.

"China is a big country with a knife. If all the advanced machine tools owned by China use high-performance ceramic knives, the annual consumption will reach 5 million pieces, calculated at 30 yuan per piece, with a total value of 150 million yuan." Prospects, Ling Guoliang is full of hope. However, financial difficulties will inevitably make this company with a registered capital of only 10 million yuan feel embarrassed. Ling Guoliang said that mass production requires at least an additional investment of 15 million yuan. In addition, quality control and market development process require a lot of time and expenses. So far, the company has only introduced 5 million yuan of venture capital, which is far from enough. Many companies that come to invest and negotiate, because of the length of time they can't grasp the return on investment, often go halfway.

Bank loans are also difficult. The factory is rented. The company does not have real estate such as land and factory buildings, and the bank generally does not issue loans. The guarantee company is not interested in the only machinery and equipment that the company can use for guarantee. If scientific research results are used as collateral, the value assessment is also very difficult, and there is no suitable assessment agency in China. Ling Guoliang hopes that the government can increase support for high-tech enterprises and make this technology rapidly market-oriented.

Although the company is struggling, its tools have been well received by the testers. After using automobile manufacturers such as FAW and Second Automobile, the tool has high hardness and good toughness, and its service life is 8 to 10 times that of ordinary tools. Professor Zhou Yu, a ceramic material expert at Harbin Institute of Technology who has participated in the project acceptance and appraisal, said that such cost-effective products have a great effect on breaking the monopoly of the United States, Japan, Switzerland and other countries.
