Tungsten is a dull silver-colored metal with the highest melting point of any pure metal. Also known as wolfram, from which the element takes its symbol, W, tungsten metal is more resistant to fracturing than diamond and is much harder than steel. It is the refractory metal's unique properties - its strength and ability to withstand high temperatures - that make it ideal for many commercial and industrial applications.

There is the news about tungsten metal market.

The tungsten metal market runs slowly in China. The tungsten metal market participants are still inactive in making deals, and the tungsten metal market remains quiet for the moment. The tungsten metal prices are stable tentatively.

China tungsten carbide powder market keeps inactive with few buying activities. Because the demand from the downstream customers does not recover, the downstream customers are cautious in making deals now.

Furthermore, the tungsten carbide powder prices show downtrend, and most of the market participants watch the market for a while. 

China ammonium paratungstate market runs slowly, and the market sees few deals been concluded. The ammonium paratungstate prices are stable tentatively this week. Most of the ammonium paratungstate market participants hold wait-and-see attitudes towards the future market.

An ammonium paratungstate factory said that whose output is around 200 tons per month, noted that they mainly sold the materials to their regular customers.

Sources in the US mentioned that little-to-no fluctuation has occurred over the past several weeks as the tungsten carbide market has fallen into a stable trend. The only shift seemed to occur early this month when APT prices were forced up, however, with unvaried interest and bigger players not buying with much frequency, the tungsten carbide looks to keep a similar trend into the latter portion of the year. 

Participants also mentioned that China suppliers are adamant about relaying information on possible price hikes, however, players have not seen anything to suggested that figures will be appreciating.

China tungsten concentrate market runs slowly this week. Tungsten concentrate prices are stable tentatively, and the trading volume is still at low level. With the soft demand, the tungsten concentrate prices decreased slightly in the recent two weeks.

It is expected that tungsten concentrate prices will be stable under the production cost in a short time.

Following report dated on Feb. 21, 2013, to the application of tungsten heavy alloy rods for balance shafts of aero engine, China North Industries Group announced recently, with the roar of 36,000 tons of ferrous metals vertical extrusion machine of Inner Mongolia North Heavy Industries Group Company, a high-temperature powder alloy rod came out, which marked a tremendous breakthrough in the extrusion technology applied to powder turbine disk material for aero engine.

                  

Known as the crown of the engine, turbine disk is the most critical core component in aero engine. The high-temperature powder alloy materials are the essential material for manufacturing high-performance, high reliability and long-life advanced aero engine turbine disk. So far, the extrusion technology of aero engine powder turbine disk material had been only mastered by Wyman Gordon Company in U.S. and Abu Dua in France and served for their own aviation industries.

The turbine disk powder material system of aero engine and the powder disk processing technology for engine in China is close to that in Europe and in U.S.. However, due to the equipment limitation, the extruding and cogging technology­­ of large amount of deformation, one of the key technologies in manufacturing the powder disk hasn’t been implemented. North Heavy Industries Group’s construction of 36,000 tons of ferrous metal vertical extrusion machine offered the basic measure to solve this problem effectively, and realized a leapfrog development in this technology. Wang Wuxiang, the expert and researcher of Chinese well-known aerospace materials said, excitedly in the scene of extrusion trial:“North Heavy Industries Group has just realized another decades-long dream of Chinese aviation during the past several years.”

                  

The success of the trial allows North Heavy Industries Group to give full play to the production capacity of 36,000 tons of ferrous metals vertical extrusion machine and consolidated the technical foundation of improving the competition ability of specialty materials and products.

Tungsten mine prices are in transient stability, the actual delivery price of 65 degrees wolframite is 115,000 yuan.Sodium tungstate market shows chilly and price changes fatigue. In ferro-tungsten market some manufacturers began to cut down offes, the range of market price widened and the proposed price of scrap tungsten market remained in the vicinity of 175,000yuan. They keeps the attitude of wait-and-see on the whole.

Downstream demand is sluggish, businesses lack of confidence and expected that tungsten market turnover is difficult to have a big breakthrough for short term.

Macro perspective, the exchange rate of the RMB against the U.S. dollar is 6.21yuan, creats the first breakthrough among 19 years;  price adjustment of refined oil starts and may be return to the time of 7 yuan. Euro zone and the IMF is determined to provide 10 billion euros to aid Cyprus.

Core Tip: tungsten market keeps gradually stabilized , individuals are in still slight fluctuations and it is expected that tungsten series mainstream will run steady in the short term.

Domestic tungsten market runs gradually stabilized and individuas are still in slight fluctuations. In tungsten mine market, high price of tungsten resources reduced and the actual turnover remains flat. In tungsten chemical market, the ammount of enquiry note is very few,,tungsten ,prices of in tungsten powder and tungsten carbide market are relatively firm. Scrap tungsten steel prices return to calm, the atmosphere of wait-and-see is stronger.It is expected that the mainstream of tungsten will runs steady for short-term.

The tungsten mine market runs steady, the mainstream prices of 65 degrees wolframite are concertrated in 11.5-11.7 yuan / ton, the mainstream prices of scheelite are concertrated in 11.3-11.6 yuan / ton.According to the response from others, recent tungsten mine prices tend to weak, the actual transactions are general and the contract prices are concentrated in 115,000 yuan / ton.

Although, some merchants’ prices are too high, the space for bargaining is relatively large. The weak market leads to many businesses loss confidence in the market. And the volume of the backlog of funds tight, the shipment transaction price had to move closer to the lower one. Right now, the basic tungsten mine market consolidation is completed and tends to equilibrium price. Manufacturers around temporarily to promote the deal, the will of price adjustment ist not strong. Expected that tungsten mine market will run stabily in short term.
