Trial Training Session for Die-Casting Technicians
China Foundry Productivity Promotion Center, following national policies, aims to foster die-casting talent and scientific development in China. It actively trains die-casting engineers, with training bases in several provinces. Up to now, it has trained nearly 653 participants. During the 2026 China Die-Casting Congress, offline training sessions will be held, focusing on cutting-edge cases such as 16,000T die-casting, covering die-casting principles, equipment selection, and process optimization. The session will also share practical experience in mold design, commissioning, and fault resolution, offering industry professionals a high-value platform to stay updated on trends and enhance their skills.

About Die Casting Congress
As global manufacturing accelerates its green transition and pushes for lightweighting, Magnesium and Aluminium have become key materials in sectors like new energy vehicles, aerospace, and 3C electronics. Aluminium die-casting, with its mature technology, continues to expand into new applications such as auto body structures and battery housings, showing steady growth. Magnesium die-casting, with even greater lightweight potential and emerging process innovations, is rising rapidly, though challenges in corrosion and creep resistance remain.
Currently, the global die-casting landscape is characterized by "steady Aluminium and advancing Magnesium". With increasingly close collaboration in the international industrial chains, technological innovation and market application are mutually reinforcing, presenting the industry with unprecedented opportunities and challenges. In 2026, the China Die Casting Congress, under the theme of "Al & Mg, Casting a Lighter Future" will gather global industry leaders to shape the lightweight future together.
The 21st China Die Casting Congress will be held in Wuhan, China from March 25 to 27, 2026. Under the theme of "Al & Mg, Casting a Lighter Future", it will gather global industry leaders to jointly shape the lightweight future.
