Sodium tungstate market low operating rate, and with the traditional Spring Festival approaching, the downstream market has also been started to reduce sodium tungstate market transactions more difficult, the recent shutdown of the manufacturers or increased. Constrained by the market demand continues to slump, sodium tungstate prices weak, but by the raw materials market up support, down temporarily stop the recent mainstream market stability maintenance of sodium tungstate, sodium tungstate mainstream price 96% concentrated in 105,000 yuan / ton down.

Scheelite with cargo operators increasingly reluctant to sell, the price of raw materials Scheelite slow uplink, APT smelters family difficulties sourcing, production more difficult, APT smelter production and sale of home enthusiasm diminished, leading to downstream powder manufacturers have difficulty sourcing APT, APT prices by the support continue to rise. It is understood that the current market has emerged 13.4-13.5 yuan / ton higher offer, but because of differences in the actual transaction of payment, etc., APT market price performance is a bit confusing, mainstream price concentrated in 12.9-13.3 yuan / ton.

Study shows that the density of a radiation shielding material decides its penetration by gamma and x-rays. The denser the material, the more the gamma or X-ray intensity is reduced.

As we know, lead is the densest of commonly available material, which has been used to provide shielding from gamma and x-rays. However, it should be recognized that lead is not the densest element. For example, tantalum, tungsten, and thorium are higher on the density scale, but lead is readily available, easily fabricated, and cost less than these materials. Lead bricks can be purchased and arranged in various ways to shield radiation.

Compared to lead, tungsten shows much active effects on gamma and X-ray radiation protection, as its much higher density, good machinability, environmental-friendly and high hardness. It could be machined into different shapes as per different working environment and requirement. However, cost for tungsten manufacture and machining is higher than the lead material.

Tungsten reluctant to sell the raw materials market sentiment strong, then dragged down by high inventories, tungsten market trend next year remains uncertain, buyers and sellers are very cautious operation is expected to go up Scheelite limited space, before the Spring Festival rose to 85,000 yuan at most wolframite / ton nearby.

With cargo operators increasingly reluctant to sell, the price of raw materials Scheelite slow uplink, APT smelters family difficulties sourcing, production more difficult, APT smelter production and sale of home enthusiasm diminished, leading to downstream powder manufacturers have difficulty sourcing APT, APT prices supported by continuous increase.

Tungsten market: With the recent increase of raw materials procurement Scheelite difficult, purchase price increases, tungsten powder manufacturers offer by this week to support and maintain strong, and the high price range is slightly higher, the price of tungsten powder or concentrated in the mainstream 205-210 yuan / kg. End of the market demand is still busy, so late to continue sharply upward blocked, before the Spring Festival, or stabilization of the main powder prices.

Molybdenum market: copper, nickel and other metals group fell peripheral, so molybdenum market fears increase, downstream active buying scarce, steel mills have negative procurement, market supply and demand fundamentals did not improve, resulting in molybdenum market dip cycles. Short-term market is expected to continue to weaken.
