The United States is pursuing more investigations into Chinese firms with North Korea  sanctions against a Chinese trading company suspected of supporting North Korea's nuclear weapons development.

Daniel Fried, the U.S. State Department's coordinator for sanctions policy, said the investigations are underway during a U.S. Senate hearing on East Asia and the Pacific, Yonhap reported.

"We're investigating. The Treasury and State are investigating firms around the world," Fried said. "There are no limits and there is no administration red line of exempt countries or companies. We go where the evidence takes us." Fried said it is very effective to convey to Chinese banks and companies that trade with North Korean firms under sanctions is dangerous and not worth the trouble, according to the report.

The State Department official also said sanctions measures are not mere slogans. "Our actions on Monday indicate that Chinese companies are not off limits. That news will spread around the Chinese community. We can also use various means to get the word out to Chinese businesses and banks that we are serious," he said.

On Monday the U.S. Treasury announced Hongxiang Industrial, suspected of sending banned material to North Korea, had been placed under unilateral sanctions. Washington is taking action against the company's chief executive Ma Xiaohong, a 44-year-old businesswoman who founded the company in 2000, and three other members of her organization.

Hongxiang Industrial is believed to have exported aluminum oxide, ammonium paratungstate, and tungsten trioxide to North Korea, dual-use items that could have been placed into military use. Aluminum oxide can be used in developing the centrifuges used in uranium enrichment.

Fried also said investigations are underway into Air Koryo, North Korea's commercial airliner.

The Treasury Department and Justice Department took the measures on Monday, saying that the company and the individuals conspired to aid North Korea’s nuclear weapons program in violation of US economic sanctions.

The measures were taken against 44-year-old Ma Xiaohong and her conglomerate based in China's frontier city of Dandong for money laundering and evading sanctions.

The Treasury Department accused the firm, Dandong Hongxiang, and a host of officials of making up a "key illicit network supporting North Korea's weapons proliferation."

Adam J. Szubin, acting undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence at the Treasury Department, said, “Treasury will take forceful action to pressure North Korea’s proliferation network and to protect the US financial system from abuse.”

Dandong Hongxiang had over $530 million worth of trade with North Korea from 2011 to 2015, according to a report by the Asian Institute for Policy Studies in Seoul and C4ADS in Washington. The amount could have been enough to help North Korea fund its uranium enrichment facilities, and to design, make, and test its nuclear weapons, the report said.

Among the items traded, there were aluminum ingots, aluminum oxide, ammonium paratungstate and tungsten trioxide as well as materials used in nuclear enrichment centrifuges and missile design.

Tungsten trioxide can be used in making more aerodynamically stable missiles, while aluminum oxide is used to resist corrosion in gas centrifuges during uranium enrichment, according to Asan. It said those could qualify as "potential military and nuclear dual use products" under U.S. Department of Commerce restrictions.

The three other individuals who were targeted include Zhou Jianshu, Hong Jinhua and Luo Chuanxu, who can no longer do business with American individuals or companies. The department also sought to seize 25 bank accounts controlled by Dandong Hongxiang, because it said they "represent property involved in money laundering."

The move came after Pyongyang conducted its fifth nuclear test on September 9. It also tested a submarine-launched ballistic missile in August. South Korean officials say the North is physically ready to conduct its sixth nuclear test.

Pyongyang says it will continue to develop nuclear weapons as a “deterrence” measure against America’s military aggression.

It reported that there is radioisotope container from Daqing Drilling Logging Company get lost during Sep. 19~Sep.21, which is used for the drilling logging.

The municipal government and relevant departments in Songyuan, Jilin took an immediate response on this matter. The provincial and municipal leaders pay much attention to this situation, and have lead departments related to public security, environmental protection and health to take quick steps for searching. Environmental Protection Agency in Songyuan, Jilin sent an expert investigation team to solve that problem.

The lost containers containing radioactive isotope Tin 113 - Indium 113m, its height is 20cm, with a handle, and the logo “2” on the top of the blue tank. The activity is equivalent to class V radioactive sources with very low hazardous sources, but still may cause damage to human body if have been carried properly. If anyone pick up or find that, please don’t deal with it arbitrarily, make sure to contact the environmental protection department for help. The telephone for Songyuan radiation environmental monitoring station is 86 13904383542.

If tungsten material could be used for radioisotope container, then radiation from radioisotope would be absorbed and controlled effectively.

At present, the public security departments are trying hard to find the lost radioisotope container. The relevant departments are under investigation.

Tungsten carbide is a very high hardness materials, cutting tools are mainly used in metal cutting has been widely used. In the machinery industry, mentioned alloy steel or tungsten carbide generally refers to such materials. Carbide cutting tools can be harvested many advantages. Compared to high speed steel cutting tools, in most cases, the use of carbide cutting tools can be harvested only workpiece surface quality is better, but also to obtain higher processing speeds; Carbide Tool can withstand higher cutting heat, which is that it can achieve a higher metal removal rate of the main reasons. When the workpiece machining high-alloy steel or stainless steel such easy processing, or in mass production and capacity expansion of the occasion, a case such as high-speed steel cutting tool wear easily and quickly, using conventional carbide tools can make cutting performance better.

Tungsten carbide cutting tools for metal cutting industrialization began in the nineteen thirties. Since then, it has evolved into carbide by far the most common tool materials. The relatively small size of carbide cutting tools are often made of a whole; only non-solid carbide cutting tools with carbide in the cutting area. Early non-carbide solid carbide tools tend to be welded to the cutter body. To the 1940s, carbide cutting tools manufacturers began producing holding interchangeable machine folder blade cutter, and benefit. Compared to the earlier welding tool, this brain-hole wide open to technological innovation and the use of mechanical clamping structure makes the tool more strength, which has now been recognized as a landmark invention, not only in the field of tool manufacturing further comprising bringing advanced and efficient process for the entire metalworking industry.

The considerable progress in the field of manufacturing opened up vast room for improvement, and immediately increase the carrying capacity of the tool, the tool has the ability to make rapid removal of metal. Replace the blade becomes more simple and cost reductions made to protect the economy, but also makes it possible to separately manufacture cutting module and the cutter body except for the blade failure due to wear or breakage failure. Replace the blades often need to consider the shape, quickly replace the failed cutting edge in several ways, in addition to the blade along the central axis indexing, there are also cases reversed blade front and back. Today, the most recognized industry wide dissemination of "indexable" the title, once also known as: the disposable tip, replaceable blade, replaceable blade.


 

Tungsten carbide indexable insert production technology based on powder metallurgy technology, the production process is as follows: Preparation of carbide mixture, pressing, sintering, sintering treatment step and coating. Despite decades or more basic process remains the same, but at the same time from the progress of science and technology but then blade manufacturing had a significant impact.

Until the 1980s coated carbide grade has not yet appeared. At that time, such that carbide can be common to the processing of different engineering materials, tool manufacturers by adding different additives (such as a hard phase or a metal additive) to the preparation of different carbide grades. Coating technology adoption has greatly promoted the development of the global machinery industry; the vast majority of today are coated carbide grades. This new technology also brings additional benefits, so some special grades can be processed a certain class of materials to be processed. You do not need to add many kinds of cemented carbide substrate additives; This reduces the cemented carbide substrate grades, production process control more stable.

PVD coating in the late 1980s is introduced into the carbide production. PVD coating because at the nanoscale coating areas to overcome the manufacturing of many problems to achieve a breakthrough in the development. PVD coating thus providing a new level of higher wear resistance nano-coating. Compared to conventional PVD coating manner coating as shown by a maximum of 50 nm (nanometer) coating composite, it has been shown to greatly improve the binding strength of the coating.

Tungsten carbide blade production progress technologies from several areas of development. More cutting-edge technology of pressing, sintering technology, coating technology and post-coating technology, more diverse surface treatments can be carried out on the cutting edge of the blade more optimized manufacturing process together make indexable inserts can provide modern metal processing industry to provide more suitable to meet their needs efficient processing solutions.

In China, eyes of the night over several decades, incandescent lamps announce its ending on Oct. 1, 2016. The announcement of “China Phases out Incandescent Lamp Timeline” by Development and Reform Commission of the People’s Republic of China says China will forbidden import and sale incandescent lamp over 15W since Oct. 1, 2016.

I Incandescent lamp phasing out timeline

Nov. 1, 2011 ~ Sep. 30, 2012
Transition period. The importer, seller shall be prepared working on elimination in accordance with the requirements of the government.

Oct. 1, 2012
The importing and selling of incandescent lamps over 100W are forbidden.

Oct. 1, 2014
The importing and selling of incandescent lamps over 60W are forbidden.

Oct. 1, 2015 ~ Sep. 30, 2016
Mid-evaluation period, based on the preliminary policy evaluation, the adjustment policy will be issued.

Oct. 1, 2016
The importing and selling of incandescent lamps over 15W are forbidden.

II Policy issuing

In Second half of 2006, the International Energy Agency released a report on the global lighting energy use noted that in 2005, total consumption of incandescent power terminal is 970 billion degrees, accounting for 37% of the global lighting electricity, equivalent to the carbon dioxide emissions of about 5.6 one hundred million tons. If the lamp phases out since 2008, it saves 38% of electricity for lighting until 2030, equaling to the cumulative reduction of 16.6 billion tons of carbon dioxide emissions.

Australia has been the first country to issue incandescent lamps phasing out plan in Feb. 2007. New Zealand, Germany, Portuguese and other tens of countries are put forward the same plan. So is China in 2011.

III LED lamps taking over incandescent lamps

LED lamp and energy-saving lamps have taken over the ineffient lamps and have been the main force in lighting industry. The manufacturing cost has been decreasing a lot since 2011 for the increasing quantity used in families. In order to improve the use of LED lamps, government subsidies, discount provided, offered as premiums. Hard work pays off. The LED use rate is going up from under 10% in 2011 to 32% in 2015. it is expected to be 50% in 2020.

IV Will Incandescent lamps over filaments

Incandescent lamps are one of the main applications of tungsten filament. However, the ending in China will promote the exporting of filaments and lamps. Meanwhile, tungsten wire will create its new application areas, but not limits in inefficient lamps.

V Popular use of LED will increase the apply of tungsten and molybdenum products

Due to the universal of LED lamps, the furnace to growing LED sapphire wafers consumption will increase to a new high. At the same time, tungsten and molybdenum products, including crucibles, heating elements, heating field, sheet shield, will be required in a large number. Thus, an ending era of incandescent lamps is a new start for tungsten and molybdenum materials.

The new concept of ammunition is one type of organic combined products from UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) technology and ammunition technology, which has strike, correspondent, target, monitor and other air alert functions.

China's new generation carrier rocket "Long March VII"; in at 20:00 on June 25, 2016 the entire spaceport Wenchang in Hainan successfully launched. Long on the 7th is the near-Earth orbit carrying capacity of China's largest rocket, its first flight as China's manned space project Spacelab mission phases starting gun, flush China Aerospace multiple records, opened a new chapter in China's rocket development.

June 25, Beijing time 20:00 sharp, a bright orange light pierced the darkness shrouded in Hainan Island, along with the roar of the engine, a 53 m long rocket into the sky.

In the past few years, the number of rockets launched by China increased significantly, but this rocket because of four reasons unusual. Firstly, it is the Long March series VII first rocket, the Long March rocket VII advent to carry with multifunction cabin space station to orbit. Secondly, since it is built in Wenchang, Hainan Cosmodrome launch of the first rocket. Hainan Wenchang launch site will become China's future space exploration space program base. Again, rocket engines using tungsten copper nozzle . Finally, this is the first rocket to visitors disclosed.

In this sultry June evening, thousands of people gathered in the center of the large for viewing platform launch, a much-anticipated rocket into the sky. Rockets Yiqijuechen cheers of the crowds, began its 394 km above the surface of the journey.

Tungsten copper alloy used in the aerospace missile, rocket engine nozzle, gas vane air rudder, the nose cone, the main requirements are high temperature (3000K ~ 5000K), high-temperature airflow flushing capacity, the use of copper at high temperatures the formation of volatile cooling sweat role (copper melting point 1083 ℃), reducing the surface temperature of tungsten and copper, to ensure use in high temperature extreme conditions.

Below is tungsten copper nozzle at the bottom of the rocket detail drawings .

August 16, China at the Jiuquan spaceport launched the world's first quantum communications satellite "Mo Number." US and Russian experts say, quantum communication is the best choice to ensure information security and defense hackers. "Mo Number" is a phenomenon of quantum entanglement satellite. Quantum entanglement obscure abstruse problems, and even Einstein chanting "Just Like Ghostly."

China's annual spending on space projects expected to be about $ 6 billion, although more than Russia nearly $ 1 billion, but still far less than the $ 40 billion the United States. Although the United States in the space program ho throw tens of billions, but in 2013, only the United States successfully launched 19 rockets; the same year, China launched 14, Russia launched 31. From the data, China clearly has a place in space, and in the future will only grow stronger.
