Abstract It is evident that the key themes in China's manufacturing sector in 2013 revolved around structural adjustment and overcapacity. This was driven by a series of economic indicators and trends that highlighted multiple challenges facing the industry. Among these, structural imbalances and poor performance were the most prominent issues, creating a pressing need for transformation.
The construction machinery industry, in particular, found itself at the heart of this economic shift. It has been widely recognized as one of the sectors suffering from severe overcapacity. This can be clearly observed in the production and sales figures of various equipment such as loaders, excavators, drilling rigs, and cranes. The peak seen around 2010 appears to have become an unattainable benchmark, leaving many industry players struggling to maintain momentum. For them, it’s like being caught in a sudden stop after running at full speed, with the pain of stagnation becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.
However, this situation is not accidental. According to some industry experts, the construction machinery sector encompasses nearly ten thousand products across 18 categories, covering almost every aspect of industrial and daily life. As a vital means of production, its wide range of applications often goes unnoticed by the general public. From concrete floaters to snow blowers, many tools used in everyday life fall under this category. Yet, in China, the market has increasingly favored large-scale and ultra-large machines, such as excavators and cranes, leading to a perception that construction machinery is dominated by a few types and is constantly expanding into larger forms. This trend has naturally led to overcapacity, particularly in the so-called "sand bees" — mass-produced, low-value equipment.
Overcapacity and structural imbalance are closely linked. From an observer’s perspective, the current trend in China’s construction machinery industry is toward high-end, large-scale development, while the demand for small, practical machines remains underdeveloped. Despite efforts to promote these smaller products, their market penetration is still limited. For example, although Chinese manufacturers managed to reclaim half of the excavator market from foreign brands by 2010 after years of effort, the breakthroughs mainly came from small and mid-sized excavators.
Many people still associate construction machinery with large-scale projects. Thanks to China’s massive infrastructure investments, the domestic market has traditionally focused on urban construction, water conservancy, transportation, and other large-scale initiatives. In this context, the term “big†became synonymous with the industry, leaving little room for small machinery or weaker market connections.
However, the tides are turning. Today’s and future markets show strong potential for the development of small construction machinery. Looking back at the experiences of developed countries, the Chinese market is still full of opportunities. The time for small construction machinery is now, and it is set to become a new driving force in the industry.
Overcapacity and structural adjustment often go hand in hand. In many cases, the need for change is urgent, and only through innovative thinking and new strategies can the industry find a way forward and open up a new era.

In the field of energy power, the improvement of efficiency and the extension of life span have very demanding requirements on material performance and structural design. Silicon carbide ceramic materials outperform most metallic materials in terms of specific stiffness, thermal shock resistance, friction and wear resistance, and thermal conductivity, but they are difficult to machine and cannot be used on a large scale.
FLK has achieved a breakthrough in the manufacturing technology of integrated complex components made of silicon carbide ceramics by using additive manufacturing technology.
High strength, high rigidity, high stiffness, light weight: density 280-3.05g/cm, low energy consumption, good thermal shock resistance, low coefficient of thermal expansion, compared to metal parts, 3D printed silicon carbide ceramic parts can extend their service life by more than one time, reduce energy consumption, and meet extreme working conditions.
