The Chinese finally made their own "domestic ballpoint pen"!

"Love and Hate" that sold 100 billion ballpoint pens in 66

If it weren’t for the CCTV’s popular program "Dialogue" in 2015, perhaps the people still don’t know the story about the “love and hate” of ballpoint pens.
The peak of this dialogue was that Premier Li Keqiang said earlier that China could not make ballpoint pen balls.
For this reason, the column team In particular, three heads of leading Chinese manufacturing companies were invited
.
They have many explanations for why China can’t make good pens: For example, Qiu Zhiming, president of Beifa Group, the “king of pen-making”, said that a Swiss-made pen machine costs 450,000 Euros, and the profit is higher than an air conditioner.
The profit of the ballpoint pen is only a few percent.
For example, the raw material ratio is special and the key precision machinery is lacking, so it can only be purchased at a high price; due to foreign monopolies and technical barriers, sometimes money cannot be bought, and this is also true in all walks of life
.

The unveiling of various industries finally made people understand that this small ballpoint pen contains such a mystery, even if it is such a technologically advanced China that can reach the world, it is inevitable
.
Due to the constraints of core manufacturing technology, the equipment for making domestic ballpoint pens can still only be imported from Switzerland.
Although 100 billion ballpoint pens can be sold in 66 years, they are actually only used as wedding dresses for others
.
At that time, Gree Queen Dong Mingzhu issued a military order in public, saying, "One year later, I will be responsible for handing over this equipment to you.
" In the end, she returned without success due to lack of some materials
.

This ballpoint pen tip that makes the Chinese "love and hate" is composed of two core components: a metal ball and a tapered metal base
.
Due to the large writing pressure, the metal ball needs to be made of very hard and wear-resistant materials.
The most commonly used materials are stainless steel and tungsten carbide.
The metal base is also more complicated than imagined, with various small grooves.
The requirements for accuracy are also very high
.
At the top of the pen tip, the thickness is only 0.
3-0.
4 mm
.
The extremely high processing precision puts forward extremely high performance requirements for stainless steel raw materials, and tests the level of Chinese manufacturing
.
We built high-rise buildings and aircraft cannons, but we were stumped by a small ballpoint pen.
This was regarded as the pain of China's manufacturing
.

 

"Craftsman spirit" creates a "ballpoint pen tip" that belongs to the Chinese

 

The problem of this century is about to be overcome by Shanxi Taigang Stainless Steel Co.
, Ltd.
At this stage, the company has completed the sixth round of quality inspection for this product.
The ballpoint pen head developed and manufactured by the Chinese has finally been born.
This breakthrough will be It has become a landmark event in the reconstruction of the identity of Made in China and will also end the self-doubt of Made in China
.
According to reports, TISCO successfully developed the "super-cutting steel wire" used in the ball seat body of ballpoint pen heads, which not only successfully broke the situation that China's ballpoint pen heads are dependent on imported materials, but also has reached the international advanced level in process technology and product quality
.
For a long time, China's manufacturing industry has been regarded as lacking the spirit of craftsmanship.
It only pursues quantity and ignores quality.
Various performances have been criticized by the Chinese people.
China's manufacturing industry seems to be suffocated but has nowhere to develop, and stress is turned into motivation.
, Witnessed the birth of the domestic ballpoint pen head, it can be described as hearty
.
This new achievement means that Made in China has a new product and opened a new profitable field
.

For a manufacturing company, every technical bottleneck is like a "ballpoint pen tip".
Although the "pen tip" is small, its core technology is fatal
.
Sticking to stereotypes, importing alone will not only cost a lot of money, not to mention cutting-edge fields such as aerospace technology, biotechnology, and high-end instruments, developed countries will not sell their technology at all
.
What is the difference between introducing a manufacturing enterprise without researching and applying it is the same as giving away opportunities for progress to others
.
As a “manufacturing country”, China has conquered many high-tech projects in heavy industry and military industry in recent years.
Aerospace and high-speed rail have become China’s business cards, but there is still a certain gap from the “manufacturing power”.
It is more "craftsman spirit" that strives for perfection
.

At this stage, the problems facing China's manufacturing industry are similar: the scale of the industry ranks among the top in the world, the equipment is also world-class, and the product quality is not satisfactory
.
The fundamental reason is that many companies have only seen the short-term benefits of "less investment and quick results" under the background of rapid economic development, and the quality of their products is not within their consideration
.
Take the "ballpoint pen tip" as an example.
TISCO did not choose to use the simplest path of introducing Swiss technology to easily achieve corporate profit growth.
Instead, after five years of countless failures, it finally saw the "additives" under the electron microscope.
"steel nib evenly distributed, large-scale steel-making than a dozen times after the first cut of steel and good finally emerged: these 2.
3 mm diameter stainless steel wire, to become a true" Made in China "
.
The birth of the "ballpoint pen tip" Qiaqia proved that only by integrating the meticulous and meticulous spiritual concept into every link of production and design, can China's manufacturing achieve a breakthrough from quantity to quality
.

 

Realize the development and upgrade of "Made in China" with instrumentation as the core
 

Li Keqiang mentioned in the on-the-spot meeting to promote "Made in China 2025", "Industrial manufacturing is an important pillar of the national economy and a'national weight' to achieve development and upgrading; it is necessary to vigorously implement'Made in China 2025' to improve the competitiveness of the real economy.

"And the famous scientist Mr.
Qian Xuesen once pointed out: The key technology of the new technological revolution is information technology.
Information technology is composed of measurement technology, computer technology, and communication technology.
Measurement technology is the key and foundation
.
It can be seen that instruments and meters play a mainstay role in the manufacturing industry, just like the left and right arms of industrial production, and are an important prerequisite and basic guarantee for intelligent manufacturing
.
With the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry, the innovation of instrumentation is also urgent
.
From the small "ballpoint pen" to the "scientific instrument", all are the manifestations of the strength of China's manufacturing industry.
We can break the "ballpoint pen" research and development deadlock, and it is bound to break the bottleneck of high-end instrument innovation
.

The R&D process from domestic ballpoint pen tip to instrumentation is the process of ending the self-doubt of China's manufacturing industry, the process of self-innovation to break the limitations of cognition, and the process of China’s transition from a “big country” to a “powerful country” in the manufacturing industry.
Uneven, it requires down-to-earth, focus and more high-quality products.
With the spirit of creating high-quality products, "Made in China" will be promoted to the world's leading ranks
