This week tungsten market continued weak demand for end mills has also been reduced, less demand for tungsten, iron, tungsten, iron manufacturers generally take the goods difficult, most manufacturers have cut tungsten iron / discontinued operation. Despite the low operating rate ferrotungsten market, but very poor end demand, the market is still an oversupply of tungsten iron, lack of effective support strong prices this week, the mainstream market quotations ferrotungsten relatively small decline last week.

Last weekend tungsten and molybdenum export quota news, traders mentality ferrotungsten slightly active, but because this year the quota has not been exhausted, the tariff policy in 2015 has not yet been introduced, so the temporary multi ferrotungsten businesses wait and see, temporary changes in export markets not. It is understood that last week 70 ferrotungsten offer mainstream acceptance concentrated in 16.8-16.9 yuan / ton, now 70 ferrotungsten offer mainstream acceptance concentrated in 16.7-16.8 yuan / ton.

Tungsten Products sidelines temporarily stable prices, the market continued to fall due to the powder, and tungsten products sluggish downstream demand, so businesses do not intend price, quote temporarily remain intact. Currently tungsten steel offer 260 yuan / kg, high-purity tungsten 290 yuan / kg, waiting for the market introduction of changes after the guide price. Expected short-term tungsten products market continues steady weakening trend.

Tungsten powder and tungsten carbide prices continue to fall, the current business offer has been as low as 238 yuan / kg, the actual price or less, have been consistent with the regeneration of tungsten prices. Market sentiment is very pessimistic, most businesses have been reluctant transactions with quotes, the overall turnover in the doldrums.

Tungsten Carbide Cutting Tool R & D Production Base Construction (I)

Details: Category: Tungsten's News; Published on Tuesday, 04 November 2014 18:41; Written by xjq; Hits: 1014

Tungsten carbide cutting tool, as a kind of high-performance and super-hard cutting tool, has made great contribution to the development of manufacturing industry in China. However, in view of the great demands from the manufacturing industry, there are still some problems that need to be solved by the whole cutting tool industry, which lie in product structure adjustment, industry transformation and tool innovation. Further developments must be achieved in these three aspects to lay a foundation for the further development in both cutting tool industry and manufacturing industry.

I. Product structure adjustment

Nowadays, tungsten carbide material has been in a dominant position among the cutting tool materials. Compared to high-speed steel material, tungsten carbide material is of better properties and higher cutting efficiency. However, tungsten carbide cutting tool production accounts for only 40% of the total amount of cutting tool production in China, which is much lower than that of the industrial developed countries. Without good cutting tool materials, any innovation in cutters and breakthrough in cutting technology would lack material base. To solve this problem fundamentally, the product structure in this industry needs to be adjusted. Therefore, Chinese government needs to help accelerate the construction of the research % development production base of tungsten carbide material and cutting tools.

II. Industry transformation.

In recent years, China’s cutting tool industry has remained a fast growth but with a majority of low-end products. In addition, some cutting tool manufacturers produce inferior products at the cost of environment with cheap labor power. Therefore, industry transformation has to be done without hesitation.

III. Tungsten carbide cutting tool innovation

The cutting tool innovation is the most important factor for promoting cutting technology and improving cutting efficiency. Modern innovation is this area lies in three aspects as follows:

(1) Material grade innovation

It accounts for a large proportion among the cutting tool innovations nowadays. Some large enterprises abroad with the capability to develop and produce tungsten carbide and other super-hard materials will provide many new cutting tool material grades every year to attraction attentions on their new products. They are developed according to the characteristics and requirements in some specific areas and are given the related advantages to improve machining efficiency by over 20%.

(2) Tungsten carbide cutting tool coating innovation

Coating technology innovation not only contributes to the cutting efficiency improvement of the cutting tools, but also to the better and faster innovation of the cutting tool coating grades. However, China up to now still lacks the capability to do its own development towards coating equipment and technology. Therefore, to strive to develop cutting tool coating technology is of utmost urgency.

(3) Tungsten carbide cutting tool structure innovation

The innovation towards cutting tool structure not only improves the cutting tool property, but also has great effect on the development of cutting tool varieties sometimes. For example, the milling cutter structure that can do slope milling significantly expands the functions of milling cutters and reduces the blade replacing times. Also, its structure characteristics have been applied in milling cutters of different kinds, which promote the development of milling processing and milling cutters. The emergence of every type of new cutting tool can attract great attention from the whole industry and help the rapid application among it, which is good for the richness of cutting tool varieties and the improvement of cutting tool properties. A large number of tungsten carbide cutting tool enterprises in China only produce cutting tools without putting a bit of efforts on cutting tool materials development and production, thus much more importance should be attached to cutting tool structure innovation in the future.

Tungsten Carbide Cutting Tool Leads Cutting Tool Industry Forward

Details: Category: Tungsten's News; Published on Tuesday, 04 November 2014 18:39; Written by xjq; Hits: 1143

Tungsten carbide cutting tool nowadays has represented the future development of cutting tool industry in China. During several export rebate rate adjustments this year, the export rebate rate of tungsten carbide cutting tools has been raised from 5% to 11%, which demonstrates the support from the Chinese government towards tungsten carbide cutting tool industry.

There are two main types of products in the cutting tool market in China currently, i.e. high-speed steel cutting tools and tungsten carbide cutting tools. High-speed steel cutting tools are not encouraged in the industry because it produces low-end products while consuming a great number of resources. However, since there are still great needs from machinery manufacturing industry, and many domestic cutting tool enterprises have not yet transformed their cutting tool manufacturing technology, the majority of cutting tools produced are still high-speed steel cutting tools. At the same, China also exports a great volume of high-speed steel cutting tools, which becomes one of the factors contributing to international trade friction. There once have been boycotts against China from Spain and some South American countries. Therefore, the Tool Branch of Chinese Machine Tool Industry Association has more than once called on the reducing of the export of high-speed steel cutting tools. China’s adjustment towards the export rebate rate of tungsten carbide cutting tools this time will be the best encouragement and support for this industry.

For domestic enterprises, the adjustment means much more than increasing profits. It also gives them confidence to go further in their development. With the support from the country and the confidence of the enterprises, a brighter future can surely be expected in China’s tungsten carbide cutting tool industry.
