Researches on the interior enterprise network of industrial cluster is an important basis for understanding its forming law. Based on the survey data of enterprises' questionnaires, by applying the boundary effect theory and social network analysis, this article established a social network evaluation index system to make an empirical analysis of characteristics of enterprises' network and the mechanism of wear-resisting casting industrial cluster in Ningguo, one of the provincial border regions between Anhui and Zhejiang. Results can be obtained as follows. (1) The enterprise derivative network structure presents features of single-center and low-density, which states that "the same clan" phenomenon is obvious in industrial cluster and the derivative function of the seed enterprise is strong; the cooperation network's structure is featured by multi-center and medium-density, which illustrates that the enterprises' relational network is in its growing period and the level of their cooperation is low. The innovation network shows a characteristic of single-center, which indicates that the seed enterprise is the "technical leader" in the industrial cluster and the contacts of their technical innovation are weak. (2) The formation mechanism of the wear-resisting casting industrial cluster in Ningguo is the outcome of combined action of the optimized exterior industrial environment of the cluster, the strengthening of the key actor colonies' behavior and the increase of the knowledge stock in the cluster during the process in which the boundary effect transforms from shielding effects to intervening effects.
