After temporarily stable tungsten products prices fell. Currently tungsten steel offer 260 yuan / kg, high-purity tungsten 290 yuan / kg, due to the low prices steady powder, tungsten products prices have not dropped, coupled with low downstream demand, so businesses will lower prices are not high. Expected short-term market or tungsten products continue to stabilize.

Tungsten powder and tungsten carbide market vulnerable stability maintenance, currently concentrated in the actual transaction between 244-245 yuan / kg. Because of tungsten concentrates and other raw materials prices continue to decline, resulting powder business confidence declining shipments will gradually increase prices, low-cost resources are also emerging on the market, the overall market appears vulnerable.

Tungsten market: Today tungsten market volume was light, and the prices temporarily to smooth the main, increasing demand for tungsten concentrates was no positive factors, but with the acquisition of APT's Pan Asia near the end, the latter's demand for raw materials tungsten concentrate more depressed, tungsten concentrate mainstream market is still weak. Waste tungsten market sentiment is still pessimistic side, low-cost ship strong, the overall market remained weak. Recent market mainstream tungsten concentrate is expected to remain weak.

Recently, Kennametal, as the leading tungsten carbide inserts producer, exhibited at the IMTS 2014 show and announced the introduction of a range of new Beyond Drive tungsten carbide inserts specifically designed for cast irons, steels, and stainless steels that make up many critical components over a variety of industries. Like all of Kennametal’s Beyond™ line of products, Beyond Drive inserts feature a proprietary post-coat surface treatment that improves edge toughness, reliability, and depth-of-cut notch resistance, and a micro-polished surface to reduce friction and workpiece sticking (BUE). A fine-grained alumina layer allows for increases in cutting speed, improving productivity and reliability at high cutting temperatures.

With Beyond Drive tungsten carbide inserts, adding a new titanium oxy-carbonitride outer coating (TiOCN) not only increases wear- and abrasion-resistance, its bronze colour is also an effective wear indicator. Depending on the application, field tests are showing anywhere between 30% and 125% more parts per edge.

　　　　　　　　　　

All new Beyond tungsten carbide inserts are CVD (chemical vapour deposition) coated, but whereas conventional CVD coatings are under tensile stress, Beyond tungsten carbide inserts undergo a proprietary post-coat treatment on all surfaces to reduce this stress, which improves coating adhesion and reduces micro-chipping. More uniform and reliable wear of the cutting edge results in improved and more consistent tool life. “Together with the right geometry, we’ve seen big improvements in cutting performance and tool life in both internal and field tests,” stated Manuel Sedan, Senior Product Manager, Turning Products, at Kennametal.

Today, tungsten market volume was light, and the prices temporarily to smooth the main, but dragged down by weak demand for tungsten products continued to show the actual turnover dropping trend. Today, the main ore price stability maintenance, cautious business operations, strong bearish mentality, regardless of downstream buyers or traders cargo hold, now guided the introduction of multi-wait wait, is expected this week or steady smaller ore price drop.

It is understood that the mainstream price wolframite concentrate on 9.2-9.5 yuan / ton, the mainstream price of scheelite concentrate at 9-9.2 yuan / ton, and the price gradually more concentrated in the range of low, late ore prices rebounded hard see support, is expected to post much scheelite price fell below 90,000 risk.
