Tungsten and Rare Earth Led Industries Accelerating Development in Jiangxi

Tungsten and rare earth led new material industries in Jiangxi Province got lots of progress: 15,000 tons of electrolytic copper foil's expansion project produced by Jiangxi Copper was officially launched, 1450mm high-strength of new steel single-stand reversing mill unit was successfully tested for a thermal load.

Production technology of bonded magnetic powder independently researched and developed by Ganzhou Jiangwu New Alloy Material Co., Ltd., has realized the mastery of key core technologies. JL Mag Rare-Earth Co., Ltd adopts the infiltration process production technology of independent intellectual property rights, significantly reduce production costs. In the first half of this year, the industry's main business income was 170 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 10%.

Jiangxi promotes leap-forward with high-quality development of the manufacturing industry, launches the implementation of the "2+6+N" industry action plan, and promotes the tungsten and rare earth led new material industry as one of the six advantageous industries.

In the relatively complete material industry system, the province has formed advanced non-ferrous metal materials, advanced steel materials, advanced polymer materials, high-performance fibers and products, composite materials and cutting-edge new materials. New materials industries such as tungsten, rare earth, copper and steel have formed a complete industrial chain of integrating mining, smelting, processing, and application.

Not long ago, Jiangxi Copper Yates Foil Inc officially started reconstruction and expansion project of the annual output of 15,000 tons of electrolytic copper foil, which means that the province will add another large-scale, batch-produced and complete copper foil production base. To further enhance the right to speak in the global high-end copper foil market. In recent years, Jiangxi Copper has laid out early plans to build several copper-based new material production lines such as copper foil, copper strip, copper rod, copper tube, enameled wire, wire, and cable. Among them, Jiangxi Copper's high-end cable product research and development capabilities have been recognized by many multinational companies such as Apple and Hewlett-Packard.

In addition to the traditional industry, Jiangxi has made breakthroughs in the new material industry, such as lithium and lightweight materials. "The market demand for lithium-ion batteries is particularly strong. We are now racing against time and market competition, grabbing new equipment and forming new teams. This year, our sales are expected to reach 400 million yuan, four times than last year." Caijin Liao, general manager Hvvea Amperex, told reporters.

To further promote the new materials industry, the province has continuously improved its innovation system. Relying on leading enterprises such as Jiangxi Copper Corporation Limited, Jingko Solar, and Ganfeng Lithium, and combining university research institutes such as Nanchang University, Jiangxi University of Science and Technology, and Ganzhou Nonferrous Metallurgy Research Institute, the five state-level engineering (technology) centers have been established.

Tungsten and rare earth led new material industries in Jiangxi clustered and gradually emerged. 10 national-level industrial demonstration bases such as "National New Industrialized Photovoltaic Industry Demonstration Base", "National Copper New Material Industry Demonstration Base" and “National New Industrialized Organic Silicon Industry Demonstration Base” have been established in the province.
