Face the new situation after accession to WTO, China's influence in the welding industry, companies have realized the importance of technological innovation, the implementation of technological innovation as a business to maintain long-term stable and healthy development of an important guarantee.

Welding Technology Center set up the enterprise, the enterprise implementation of product development (design), production process development and other work functions, but also the force of technological innovation. In the current situation, to strengthen the construction of technical centers, foster high-quality technical teams, we establish a new operational mechanism of technological innovation, is to enhance technological innovation, encourage enterprises to become an important measure of technological innovation.

Welding companies to achieve technological innovation, increase the technological content of welding materials technology center integrated technology innovation is the key. How to upgrade existing technology centers comprehensive level of technological innovation? This is a goal of technological innovation enterprises an important issue. However, this topic so far rarely reported in the literature. In this paper, Welding Technology Center on the high level of research priorities and the conditions should have a few comments.

First, the research focus of welding material

Depends on the direction of welding market demand. To adapt to market changes, to meet user requirements, increasing the variety, and further improve product quality, response to the following welding materials in-depth study.

(1) low-alloy steel electrodes with low hydrogen electrode process of this kind, the intrinsic quality and manufacturing quality welding, etc., compared with similar foreign electrode is still a certain gap, should carry out appropriate research.

(2) stainless steel electrode current domestic production of the A102 there are several types of stainless steel electrode process is close to foreign brands; but the process and anti-holes, and the process of crack resistance both in the Welding Wires Manufacturer, is still inadequate, there are some issues and technology should continue to study further.

(3) solid wire gas shielded welding processes of (splash, shape), the intrinsic quality and copper, reel, packaging technology gap with foreign advanced level is still in the development of varieties of different chemical composition should be a special wire .

(4) flux cored wire application prospect, the country has been introduced and their equipment up to dozens of production lines, the key is the quality of the product (performance) is better, lower price (reasonable). At present, domestic and foreign brand-name quality flux cored wire is still a gap compared, there is still the subject of continuing research and key technologies.

(5) Pipeline cellulose and low hydrogen type electrode vertical down welding in the "West-East" project in a large amount. Currently the main problem of domestic or cellulose electrode processes, such as the Arc force is small, sensitive pores, poor shape, and there is still a gap compared to foreign brands should continue to research (and possibly also in the chemical composition of a gap). Backing up down low hydrogen type electrode potential for market demand, the power must be put into research.

(6) special electrodes with low parathion metallurgical technology advances, the quality of steel escalating steel S, P content decreased (wP ≤ 0.025% ~ 0.030%, wS ≤ 0.015% ~ 0.020%), this must be new steel grades offer low S, P special electrodes, welding wire, flux and other soldering materials. It is facing a new topic.

Second, the research team level and study conditions

1 The researchers studied the structure and capabilities
