High Costing of Tungsten Raw Material, Ferro Tungsten Continues to Go up

Tungsten market quotation: at the early time oversea ferro tungsten price has been grow up with small range and in China, tungsten concentrate raw material price is strength and production costing is high so the price of ferro tungsten continues to go up. The quoted price of 70 ferro tungsten is above 11,000.00 RMB. 
The average price of mainly series tungsten products: wolframite concentrate (content ≥65%): 66,000.00 RMB/ton; scheelite concentrate (content ≥65%): 64,000.00 RMB/ton; ammonium paretungstate (content ≥88.5%): 100,000.00 RMB/ton, export price:220.00 $/mtu; tungsten powder (content ≥99.95%): 162.00 RMB/kg, export price: 24.00 $/kg; tungsten carbide powder (content ≥99.7%): 160.00 RMB/kg, export price:23.00 $/kg; tungsten bar (content ≥99.95%): 215.00 RMB/kg, export price: 34.22 $/kg.
Chinatungsten molybdenum and tungsten series products’ price: copper plating (W72): specification: 175×35×4, price:108 RMB for one; cemented carbide rod (YG10X): specification: φ3×330, price: 15.6 RMB for one; molybdenum sheet (content 99.95%): specification: 400×250×0.5, price: 218.5 RMB for piece; tungsten electrode (content 99.95%): specification: φ2.4×175, price: 6.957 RMB for one; tungsten alloy rod (content 90%): φ18×90, price: 150.00 RMB for one; tungsten billet (content 90%): φ7.15×54.6, price:31.00 RMB for one; sodium tungstate (content 68.5%): price: 88,000.00 RMB/ton.
On the other hand, at the present, there is hard to buy tungsten concentrate raw material. The production of APT is not too much but still can satisfy market requirement. So under this situation it is hard to support APT price grow up. The quoted price of APT is at 96,000.00 RMB/ton.

Different Opinions of Tungsten Manufacturers, Tungsten Quoted Price Tends to Stable at Short Term

Tungsten market : at the present, many tungsten manufacturers have different opinions, although some big tungsten companies stick to hold the high quoted price of tungsten series products. However, some small tungsten factories indicated that tungsten afternoon market will not too bright to continue. Besides, they thought that after tungsten afternoon market upward trend there may turn down and to fall. So at the present market about tungsten series products quotation is in chaos condition and there is little transaction as well. The solicited quote of tungsten series products is tend to stable at the short term.

Tungsten alloy could be used for small diameter bomb

The attack of small diameter bomb (50KG) has been completely showed on Dec. 18 with its perfect and precise aggressive ability, especially, having tungsten alloy core for armor-piercing to get a better deadly high-explosive to the armored targets on the ground more accurate.

Also tungsten alloy prefabricated fragments are widely used for military defense as its high hardness, good impact force, excellent ultimate tensile strength, etc. The current high chamber pressure prefabricated artillery fragments, are used in canister form, such as Switzerland, L70-type 40 mm grenade where overhead is filled with tungsten alloy spheres. Tungsten prefabricated fragments technology has been widely used on all types of warheads nowadays.
