This expo lasts for four days, with a total exhibition area of over 40,000 square meters and more than 800 high-quality booths. It has attracted more than 500 well-known companies from around the world to participate in the exhibition with core technologies and cutting-edge products. The exhibits cover high-end superhard materials, high-performance ceramic materials, full categories of cutting tools, and supporting products such as intelligent equipment, precision machine tools, special production equipment, professional testing instruments, and industrial automation systems, forming a full chain display of "materials + tools + equipment + testing + applications." During the exhibition, a number of industry and industry conferences and special supply and demand matching activities will also be held.

In recent years, Zhuzhou has deeply cultivated the characteristic and advantageous industries of advanced hard materials and continued to consolidate the independent, controllable, safe and reliable industrial base of key materials. The city's Hetang District gathers 226 enterprises in the upstream and downstream industrial chain of advanced hard materials. The output of cemented carbide reaches 24,000 tons, accounting for about 40% of the national market. It has the only national key laboratory of cemented carbide and a national materials analysis and monitoring center in the industry.

At the same time, Zhuzhou City's Hetang District has made precise layout and concentrated efforts to build a 10,000-acre Hunan Advanced Hard Materials Industrial Park. Currently, 140,000 square meters of standard factory buildings have been built. It has introduced the 52-acre Guanshen Advanced Hard Materials and Tools International Trading Center, attracting high-quality enterprises such as Huarui Precision and Weishang Technology to settle in, helping the regional industry to extend, repair and strengthen the chain. The complete industrial ecology of "materials - molds - cutting tools - parts processing - equipment manufacturing - trading - recycling" continues to improve.

As the only industry exhibition in the country in the field of hard materials, Zhuzhou International Advanced Hard Materials Industry Expo is based on local industry accumulation and builds a professional industrial platform that integrates achievement display, technical seminars, supply and demand docking, and international cooperation, effectively promoting the collaborative linkage of the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain and the accurate matching of global industrial resources. Through the deep integration model of "exhibition + industry + trade", the expo has become an important bridge for Zhuzhou to connect with the global advanced hard materials market.
