When did the casting industry rise
In recent years, with the acceleration of industrialization, the casting industry has become a highly concerned field. It is understood that the casting industry originated in the early stages of human civilization, but its true rise can be traced back to around 3000 BC. At that time, people had already mastered the smelting technology of copper and began to use copper products, such as utensils and weapons. Casting technology gradually developed during this process.
With the passage of time, casting technology continues to improve and its application scope continues to expand. In China, casting technology has developed particularly rapidly and has become a unique industry. In the Song Dynasty, casting technology was already very developed, such as copper cast Buddha statues, iron cast cannons, and other famous representative works.
Entering the modern society, the casting industry has further developed. In the early 20th century, the casting industry began to use electricity and oil as power sources, which greatly improved production efficiency. In the 1950s, the casting industry began to apply computer technology, further improving the level of production automation. Since the 21st century, with the development of information technology and intelligent manufacturing, the casting industry has entered a new stage.
Currently, the global casting industry is facing new challenges and opportunities. With the continuous improvement of environmental awareness and the increasing scarcity of energy resources, the casting industry will face higher production standards and stricter environmental requirements. At the same time, the continuous emergence of intelligent manufacturing and advanced material technology will also bring more development opportunities to the casting industry.
