In the long run , with the commissioning of overseas projects , the future supply of light rare earths by China into the global supply situation unilateral diversified supply situation in the long run will be in the light rare earth supply growth trend , the price of light rare earth formation pressure. In the short term , due to the lower than expected progress of the project overseas rare earth , rare earth special anti- national ( neodymium , praseodymium and other light rare earths supply decrease ) and lower purchasing and storage of expectations, support the formation of short-term rare earth prices .

RE market experienced a downturn in October downside , the rare earth market improved slightly in November , prices of some products rebounded after turning smoothly .

Several manufacturers of neodymium oxide, praseodymium listing price from 370,000 yuan / ton after a few adjustments to 400,000 yuan / ton, while the actual transaction on the market grid remains at 330,000 yuan to 34 yuan / ton, or even the price of the few businesses in 325,000 yuan / ton , the price and the price difference between the larger public listing . Metal praseodymium neodymium mainstream market price of around 430,000 yuan to 44 yuan / ton, while the market some businesses to 425,000 yuan / ton , or even slightly lower prices can also be shipped. Inquiry on the market has also increased but not significantly increase the actual transaction is still some old customers insist on a small amount of stock in publicly quoted prices and no major effect on the actual market situation .

Europium oxide, terbium oxide, praseodymium , neodymium and market conditions are similar, publicly listed prices also continued to increase , but actually there is demand for goods on the market and purchase orders are not many , but the actual transaction price is also a far cry from the listing price . Publicly quoted price of europium oxide and terbium oxide after several adjustments were 5.5 million yuan / ton and 450 yuan / ton , while the actual transaction price in the market is generally about 4.7 million yuan / ton and 370 yuan / ton.

Neodymium oxide although there are publicly quoted prices , but did not therefore prices still remain basically unchanged original price , market demand and turnover has been less , the publicly listed price of neodymium oxide market conditions did not play a larger role the role of demand and price of neodymium oxide has also no improvement .

Although praseodymium oxide and erbium oxide listed prices continue to record , but the market 's actual transaction price is not so high , the actual market price of praseodymium oxide and erbium oxide were 57 yuan to 580,000 yuan / ton and 340,000 yuan ~ 35 yuan / ton, with the highest listing price 630,000 / t and 400,000 / tonne difference between the larger , premium of around 10 % and 16% .

November , although there are rare earth products are constantly quoted , but lanthanum oxide and cerium oxide is not listed in the list , and one of the main reasons is that the two products are not within the scope of state purchasing and storage plan , so lanthanum oxide and cerium oxide prices have been at a relatively low position , the downstream demand seen significant signs of improvement , the output of the upstream separation plant has been greater , so the product inventory has been more difficult market conditions have temporarily changed .

Under normal circumstances , the fourth quarter is relatively good NdFeB industry, a time period , but this year the market situation is very bad, in addition to domestic Zhong Ke San Huan has represented several large companies patented NdFeB production better than the other by the vast number of small and medium enterprises operating situation worse , the operating rate is generally lower than 50% , and more generally about 30 %. Shanxi NdFeB a company official said , as the previous year, this situation is not met before. The reason , the first downturn in domestic macroeconomic conditions , a significant decrease in market demand ; followed after soaring rare earth prices fall , companies are chosen downstream applications such as ferrite alternative to some extent , even if rare earth prices have dropped to low, but in view of the instability of rare earth still exists, so it can not be reused NdFeB permanent magnets , so it reduces the demand , exacerbated by the current weak market conditions NdFeB .

In November, prices of several publicly listed manufacturers constantly adjust pricing, purchasing and storage industry is generally considered to be a prelude to the country , but from the Baotou Rare Earth for the first time publicly listed price after 20 days, but the state purchasing and storage of things but has yet to have a clear view , the current expectations of the market for purchasing and storage has begun to decrease. It is understood that some of Ganzhou field has a significant holding cargo ship will, this attitude or lack of confidence in the market outlook, the majority of the performance .

From the current situation, the rare earth market sluggish downstream demand is difficult to change the situation for a moment , though the market is expected to reduce purchasing and storage , but does not completely disappear , it is expected that the recent market will be stable rare earth -based, Change does not appear more substantial .

Any change in policy would give the rare earth market is not a small impact , eighteen stressed the need to further reform the Third Plenary Session , for some time whether the introduction of a series of policies and measures to promote the healthy development of rare earth industry , it is worth watching.

Recently, a senior expert Jack Lifton rare published an article entitled " replace rare earth metals and other technologies whether it is a step backwards ? " The article, he pointed out in the article : in 2011 , with the rise in rare earth prices, he would have thought Some car brand manufacturers no longer use rare earth, but now he said he could be wrong , because the application of rare earth permanent magnets in the automotive industry not only make the car weight reduction , but also improve the car's efficiency , therefore , entirely they will be replaced on the resulting technical engineering backwards .

Now, some in the media constantly reports of some large research laboratories replaced , seems to be a prelude to eventually replace rare , but in fact it is unscientific , just like the seventies , people send their platinum, palladium and rhodium have a good catalytic effect , but because of less content and want to replace them as platinum , palladium, rhodium then replace the urgency is even larger than it is now replaced by rare , but the fact is that until now , people still use platinum, palladium, rhodium catalytic .

Like Samsung this technology -intensive high-tech companies , and technology requires a lot of rare earth metals, rare earth resources in South Korea is no country in the past three years, the Government has been a national effort to help collect and store Samsung rare earth resources and technical metal resources for the construction of a complete metal supply chain , rare performance in terms of light is electromagnetic these high-tech -intensive companies such as Samsung must use their reason , rare earth miniaturization can make high-tech products , while the electronic signal into animation, music and images are hard to replace , but if not massive reserves of rare earth resources , Samsung will be difficult to maintain a long-term stay as a high-tech intensive technical leadership .

Finally, the author says : "The world history of science will never be regressive type development : those countries and does not encourage production, metal smelting and manufacturing technology for long-term investments will be difficult to maintain long-term production of high-tech manufacturer in the mouth . time is pressing .

RE advent of high-speed rail aluminum one , they alerted the world .

State Department counselor , president of the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association , said Chen full training , this is a non-ferrous material revolution.

Chinese Academy of Engineering, Qing-Quan Lei predict future cable market , the application of rare earth aluminum cable high-speed rail will become increasingly widespread , replacing copper cable will become an inevitable trend.

Experts point out that the rare earth aluminum cable only to achieve high-speed rail Chinese people " to aluminum and copper ," Dream and Revolution as the source material will be extended to the industrial revolution, driven by the industry , the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure , to achieve national strategic resources, energy alternatives .

What exactly is the rare earth aluminum high-speed rail ? It is really so magical?

With these questions , the reporter walked into the world's four major professional manufacturer of aluminum power cables in the only Chinese-funded enterprises - Hebei Xin Yi Cable Co. , check it out.

" Young Dragons " , superior performance , high-speed rail aluminum wars rare earth aluminum , copper for victory

As the cable core , copper is a good performance , good or pure aluminum wire ? Or more in the hand ?

In Shijiazhuang, Hebei Xin Yi base laboratory , reporters witnessed a spectacular race.

The first is the tensile strength of the contest. 3 length , diameter monofilament same aluminum , copper and rare earth monofilament monofilament aluminum high-speed rail , competing against.

Tensile testing machine has just started, aluminum wire cut off , just over 10 seconds , copper is also one of two parts, Flanagan aluminum monofilament last laugh , pulled off the time required for significantly longer than the first two . Reporters picked up the broken three monofilament, monofilament only abnormal soft aluminum , can be wrapped around the fingers bent, there was not just "tough guy "-like performance.

In the fatigue test, the test flame temperature , aluminum monofilament also shows superior performance. RE outer protective cover fitted high-speed rail aluminum power cables , nearly a thousand degrees in the flames of the burner flame , cable -free retardant and dripping , only a small amount of carbide produced , and less smoke odor , the conductor is not damaged.

"This is its most popular products, completely independent research and development , the national patent . " Hebei Xin Yi , deputy general manager Wang Mans cleft proud to introduce this monofilament elongation aluminum , copper filaments than 25% higher , reaching 32 percent , " Although the gap is small, it means huge market . "

This cable as Transformers , convenient construction , waterproof , fire performance, can also work well in a variety of extreme weather conditions.
" Young Dragons " , is the most moving. Rare high-speed rail aluminum cable with independent intellectual property rights to show strong market competitiveness. " We generally do not take small orders . " Qie macro Mans said that as of October , Hebei Xin Yi only on the company's sales over a hundred million . Up to now, Xin Yi Group's sales of the product has reached 1.3 billion yuan .

Hebei Xin Yi planning objectives are: 2014 , achieved sales of 1.5 billion yuan ; 2015 , achieved sales of 3 billion yuan ; 2016 , achieved sales exceeded 10 billion yuan .

Nothing , there is a new high school students , high rare earth iron aluminum turned out

Cables are nerves and blood vessels of modern society.

Copper cable manufacturing needs , currently 97% of the domestic cable is a copper cable . Our country is poor copper country , half of the copper used in the manufacture cables. On the one hand is a nation-building requires a lot of copper , on the other hand , Western countries have achieved with aluminum cable instead of copper cables more than 40 years , the penetration rate reached 80 %.

Reality is cruel, technical barriers, R & D capabilities , knowledge of new things and other reasons , the delay in making this advanced technology in the country.

Relatively abundant domestic bauxite , rare earth resources, relatively low international prices of aluminum , how to make ?

Inventions always meet people's needs appear .

In 1993, the founder of the Xin Yi Lin Zemin Cable Co., Ltd. . Innate love pondering , unyielding him, in order to improve the competitiveness of their products , vitality, determined to take a walk is not willing that others do not go the way , he began studying with aluminum and copper , aluminum manufacturing method of study power cable .

"No, do not mean we can not do it. People landed on the moon , we can . " Lin Zemin hold the breath .

At that time , Canada, the United States and France 3 aluminum cable giant, long-term monopoly on international markets and technology , domestic much information in this regard , no one is optimistic Lin Zemin .

Lin Zemin determine their own "frustrating ."

Process of the invention is hard and grueling . 2003 10 years later,林泽民in the digestion and absorption of advanced manufacturing technology home and abroad on the basis of the cable , and finally successfully developed with independent intellectual property rights of high-speed rail welcomed the Italian brand of rare earth aluminum power cables, comprehensive technical performance has reached international advanced level, breaking the monopoly of Western technology .

RE aluminum cable a high-speed rail will be born in their prime .

Thus, Lin Zemin had such a " counter-attack " : Shahui aluminum cable birthplace - products exported to the U.S. for eight consecutive years , is widely used in the country to achieve 23 states, none of the quality accident.

In China, Xin Yi cable is thousands of successful projects favored , widely used in electrical , automotive, transportation , mining , shipbuilding , chemical, military and other fields .
Aluminum and copper to break the monopoly of the dominant national standards compiled

The price of copper is about 50,000 yuan / ton , while the price of aluminum is about 15,000 yuan / ton. In the case of the flow to achieve the same set , the weight of the aluminum cable is only half the copper , copper bending radius smaller than doubled and rebound performance 40% smaller than copper . Lin Zemin calculations: " In this case, simple construction worker , security increased, compared with the traditional copper cables , overall costs can be reduced by 40 % -50 %. "

The current global wire and cable market size has more than 100 billion euros . The output value of China's wire and cable business early in 2011 will be more than the United States, ranking first in the world . But compared to Europe, but also in the big but not strong situation.

Rare high- strength aluminum rail power cables appear to break this pattern. Product has 80 patents, flexible copper cables than a 30% increase , extension cable than copper increased by 50% , 40% smaller creep resistance than copper cables , respectively, through the authority of the United States, Canada , Australia and other countries certification.

"The Americans come here every month for some random product testing . If there is a failure is detected , immediately cancel the entry qualifications. " Qie macro Mans introduced, according to data released by the American Society of material life of rare earth high-speed rail aluminum cable copper higher than 10 years .

Today is an important resource for the production of rare earths needed, China is the world's largest producer of rare earths in the international market , China's hope that by inhibiting the supply of rare earth prices have reached to head in , but they behave Buy providers increasingly tough terms , such as Japanese magnet manufacturers, they think prices will fall in the future rare , so indifferent . At first, when in 2011 , prices soared , the businesses are overwhelmed, but now the situation but reversed. This is big news for the rare-earth mineral rights transactions .

"According to the current price , the manufacturer does not buy" , operating high-performance magnets for dysprosium Japanese trading company official said in unison . Chinese exports of rare earths prices rose about 1 percent since June of this year, once in late October rose to around $ 550 per kilogram. Although only hit of the summer of 2011 for about $ 3,700 per kilogram seventh , but it seems the demand side , the price is still too high .

In the main origin of Chinese rare earths , this summer the government to ban illegal mining on a large scale . Observing how the market believes that China started 10,000 tons of rare earth reserves . As well as market-related pointed out that the Chinese government is to boost the market and the tightening of the supply of rare earths .

In this regard , the Japanese manufacturer of magnets and magnet alloys after July reduced the purchasing transaction hardly the case is continuing to expand . China supplies due to inhibition caused price spikes have occurred in 2011 , when the demand side in a hurry to start purchasing, the results lead to a further rise , but this was very cool. In addition, as a neodymium magnet material also presents a similar situation . Currently the price of the day was about $ 100 per kilogram , compared with June rose by nearly 4 percent. But demand is not strong.

As optimistic about demand from the growth of hybrid vehicles and industrial machinery , willingness to increase business remains strong magnets . Each company has been in no hurry to purchase rare , because it considers the oversupply situation will continue in the future , the current rise is only temporary.

In addition, each magnet manufacturers such as Shin- Etsu Chemical Co. and TDK , etc. In 2011 the boom as an opportunity to reduce the amount of rare earths. Combined with price cuts in the spring , has increased imports at low prices . Inventory because they have the time , so do not rush to make purchases at high prices .

Including cerium , etc. , Japanese imports of rare earths in 2012 was 10,003 overall tons, compared to 2010 almost halved . The total exports to China in 2011 and 2012 was about 30,000 tons , only about 5 percent of the Chinese government to protect the resource and set export quotas . Japan's Showa Denko that " in 2013 ( exports ) are likely to remain lower than the export quotas ."

In addition , the demand side in no hurry to purchase another background is the World Trade Organization (WTO) ruling may limit exports of rare earths in China during violation of the agreement . This is a lawsuit brought by the United States and Europe , once the Chinese have been convicted of the WTO agreements , currently set at 2 percent or so is likely to cut export taxes , TDK think "This should help to promote a slow decline in raw material prices ."

Since 2010 , Guangxi expensive ( Hong Kong ) Wu (state ) found a large portion of the highway along the rare earth mine in road construction , by consent of the Ministry of Land , Guangxi and then start the rescue of rare earth recycling . However, I recently learned that since April this year , due to the recovery of rare earth ore project mired environmental problems , causing the work to a standstill . Some industry insiders worry that the highway construction continue to advance , thousands of tons of valuable rare earth resources may be permanently covered or being pressed and wasted potential illegal criminals . Influenced the development of mineral rights transactions .

Mine because of environmental problems caused by agriculture contradictory

I learned from the National Land Agency Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region , Guangxi in the heavy rare earth reserves second only to Jiangxi and Guangdong , but overall resources have not yet been fully exploited in the past over the construction of railways, highways , industrial parks found in the course of several rare earth mine, but have not been able to get timely recovery .

Since 2010, the construction of the ( Hong Kong ) Wu (state ) highway Ping County , Teng County roads were found rich rare earth mineral resources. In June 2011 , agreed to by the Ministry of Land , Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region government explicitly , by the Guangxi Nonferrous Metals Group Rare Earth Development Co., peel your Wu highway construction out of rare earth recycling utilization.

In April this year , there are media reports of Guangxi Nonferrous Metals Group Co., resulting in the development of rare earth rare earth recycling point martial arts town, County of Guangxi environmental pollution and lead to campus safety issues caused dissatisfaction of teachers and students and nearby villagers. Ping County will then shut down all rare earth recycling points and filled in more than 30 rare earth settling ponds within a week , dismantling production facilities in place to achieve restoration of the pool immersion harmless transfer processing .

In July this year , because of the rare earth recycling project in Guangxi Teng County environmental problems of mass incidents , new -town high Tamura hundreds of villagers into the development of Guangxi Nonferrous Metals Group Co., Ltd. Rare Earth Rare collection points at the local thwarted plant , resulting in a large number of claims to mine farmland and crops damaged. Qin East Guangxi Nonferrous Metals Group Co., Ltd. Teng County Branch of rare earth development general manager , although high Tamura project built plant , but did not begin rare earth recycling operations.

The author in Pingnan , Tengxian field interview that the two are ionic rare earth mine , the " heap leaching " process for recycling , in the implementation process is indeed a serious risk of water pollution and soil erosion . Ping Nan , Teng County environmental department heads both confirmed the rescue of rare earth recycling rare earth development project in Guangxi Nonferrous Metals Group Co., Ltd. in the implementation of these two places , although the land department has been authorized , but did not comment related to loop through the approval process .

The United States has 19 percent of the world's rare earth resources exploitation ranked third but not a lot to buy cheap Chinese rare earth reserves of rare earth resources available in Japan for 20 years.China has the world's largest rare earth resources, but Luancai sale. Back in 1983, Japan has issued a rare mineral strategic reserve system, and perform so far. Reserves object nickel, chromium, tungsten, cobalt, molybdenum, vanadium, manganese and other seven kinds of precious metals, its dependence on imports for more than 90%. When increasingly recognize the value of precious metals, platinum in Japan again, indium and rare earth resources into reserves of three objects, which are Japan's top three automotive, electronics and information industry urgently needed supplies. Thus, on the one hand, Japan reserves, while trying to import these resources from the world, especially China. Although expensive for the "rare earth kingdom," but China's rare earth resources in the world but then almost no pricing power and the right to speak, rare earth 20 years is the same as turnip cabbage sale out if the past is a lot to stay in the export of rare earth with the general equal treatment of mineral resources in cognition, that in recent years, leading to the source of the rare encounter sale is outdated and weak regulatory thinking.
