In the long run , with the commissioning of overseas projects , the future supply of light rare earths by China into the global supply situation unilateral diversified supply situation in the long run will be in the light rare earth supply growth trend , the price of light rare earth formation pressure. In the short term , due to the lower than expected progress of the project overseas rare earth , rare earth special anti- national ( neodymium , praseodymium and other light rare earths supply decrease ) and lower purchasing and storage of expectations, support the formation of short-term rare earth prices .

Recently, a senior expert Jack Lifton rare published an article entitled " replace rare earth metals and other technologies whether it is a step backwards ? " The article, he pointed out in the article : in 2011 , with the rise in rare earth prices, he would have thought Some car brand manufacturers no longer use rare earth, but now he said he could be wrong , because the application of rare earth permanent magnets in the automotive industry not only make the car weight reduction , but also improve the car's efficiency , therefore , entirely they will be replaced on the resulting technical engineering backwards .

Now, some in the media constantly reports of some large research laboratories replaced , seems to be a prelude to eventually replace rare , but in fact it is unscientific , just like the seventies , people send their platinum, palladium and rhodium have a good catalytic effect , but because of less content and want to replace them as platinum , palladium, rhodium then replace the urgency is even larger than it is now replaced by rare , but the fact is that until now , people still use platinum, palladium, rhodium catalytic .

Like Samsung this technology -intensive high-tech companies , and technology requires a lot of rare earth metals, rare earth resources in South Korea is no country in the past three years, the Government has been a national effort to help collect and store Samsung rare earth resources and technical metal resources for the construction of a complete metal supply chain , rare performance in terms of light is electromagnetic these high-tech -intensive companies such as Samsung must use their reason , rare earth miniaturization can make high-tech products , while the electronic signal into animation, music and images are hard to replace , but if not massive reserves of rare earth resources , Samsung will be difficult to maintain a long-term stay as a high-tech intensive technical leadership .

Finally, the author says : "The world history of science will never be regressive type development : those countries and does not encourage production, metal smelting and manufacturing technology for long-term investments will be difficult to maintain long-term production of high-tech manufacturer in the mouth . time is pressing .

RE market experienced a downturn in October downside , the rare earth market improved slightly in November , prices of some products rebounded after turning smoothly .

Several manufacturers of neodymium oxide, praseodymium listing price from 370,000 yuan / ton after a few adjustments to 400,000 yuan / ton, while the actual transaction on the market grid remains at 330,000 yuan to 34 yuan / ton, or even the price of the few businesses in 325,000 yuan / ton , the price and the price difference between the larger public listing . Metal praseodymium neodymium mainstream market price of around 430,000 yuan to 44 yuan / ton, while the market some businesses to 425,000 yuan / ton , or even slightly lower prices can also be shipped. Inquiry on the market has also increased but not significantly increase the actual transaction is still some old customers insist on a small amount of stock in publicly quoted prices and no major effect on the actual market situation .

Europium oxide, terbium oxide, praseodymium , neodymium and market conditions are similar, publicly listed prices also continued to increase , but actually there is demand for goods on the market and purchase orders are not many , but the actual transaction price is also a far cry from the listing price . Publicly quoted price of europium oxide and terbium oxide after several adjustments were 5.5 million yuan / ton and 450 yuan / ton , while the actual transaction price in the market is generally about 4.7 million yuan / ton and 370 yuan / ton.

Neodymium oxide although there are publicly quoted prices , but did not therefore prices still remain basically unchanged original price , market demand and turnover has been less , the publicly listed price of neodymium oxide market conditions did not play a larger role the role of demand and price of neodymium oxide has also no improvement .

Although praseodymium oxide and erbium oxide listed prices continue to record , but the market 's actual transaction price is not so high , the actual market price of praseodymium oxide and erbium oxide were 57 yuan to 580,000 yuan / ton and 340,000 yuan ~ 35 yuan / ton, with the highest listing price 630,000 / t and 400,000 / tonne difference between the larger , premium of around 10 % and 16% .

November , although there are rare earth products are constantly quoted , but lanthanum oxide and cerium oxide is not listed in the list , and one of the main reasons is that the two products are not within the scope of state purchasing and storage plan , so lanthanum oxide and cerium oxide prices have been at a relatively low position , the downstream demand seen significant signs of improvement , the output of the upstream separation plant has been greater , so the product inventory has been more difficult market conditions have temporarily changed .

Under normal circumstances , the fourth quarter is relatively good NdFeB industry, a time period , but this year the market situation is very bad, in addition to domestic Zhong Ke San Huan has represented several large companies patented NdFeB production better than the other by the vast number of small and medium enterprises operating situation worse , the operating rate is generally lower than 50% , and more generally about 30 %. Shanxi NdFeB a company official said , as the previous year, this situation is not met before. The reason , the first downturn in domestic macroeconomic conditions , a significant decrease in market demand ; followed after soaring rare earth prices fall , companies are chosen downstream applications such as ferrite alternative to some extent , even if rare earth prices have dropped to low, but in view of the instability of rare earth still exists, so it can not be reused NdFeB permanent magnets , so it reduces the demand , exacerbated by the current weak market conditions NdFeB .

In November, prices of several publicly listed manufacturers constantly adjust pricing, purchasing and storage industry is generally considered to be a prelude to the country , but from the Baotou Rare Earth for the first time publicly listed price after 20 days, but the state purchasing and storage of things but has yet to have a clear view , the current expectations of the market for purchasing and storage has begun to decrease. It is understood that some of Ganzhou field has a significant holding cargo ship will, this attitude or lack of confidence in the market outlook, the majority of the performance .

From the current situation, the rare earth market sluggish downstream demand is difficult to change the situation for a moment , though the market is expected to reduce purchasing and storage , but does not completely disappear , it is expected that the recent market will be stable rare earth -based, Change does not appear more substantial .

Any change in policy would give the rare earth market is not a small impact , eighteen stressed the need to further reform the Third Plenary Session , for some time whether the introduction of a series of policies and measures to promote the healthy development of rare earth industry , it is worth watching.

RE advent of high-speed rail aluminum one , they alerted the world .

State Department counselor , president of the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association , said Chen full training , this is a non-ferrous material revolution.

Chinese Academy of Engineering, Qing-Quan Lei predict future cable market , the application of rare earth aluminum cable high-speed rail will become increasingly widespread , replacing copper cable will become an inevitable trend.

Experts point out that the rare earth aluminum cable only to achieve high-speed rail Chinese people " to aluminum and copper ," Dream and Revolution as the source material will be extended to the industrial revolution, driven by the industry , the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure , to achieve national strategic resources, energy alternatives .

What exactly is the rare earth aluminum high-speed rail ? It is really so magical?

With these questions , the reporter walked into the world's four major professional manufacturer of aluminum power cables in the only Chinese-funded enterprises - Hebei Xin Yi Cable Co. , check it out.

" Young Dragons " , superior performance , high-speed rail aluminum wars rare earth aluminum , copper for victory

As the cable core , copper is a good performance , good or pure aluminum wire ? Or more in the hand ?

In Shijiazhuang, Hebei Xin Yi base laboratory , reporters witnessed a spectacular race.

The first is the tensile strength of the contest. 3 length , diameter monofilament same aluminum , copper and rare earth monofilament monofilament aluminum high-speed rail , competing against.

Tensile testing machine has just started, aluminum wire cut off , just over 10 seconds , copper is also one of two parts, Flanagan aluminum monofilament last laugh , pulled off the time required for significantly longer than the first two . Reporters picked up the broken three monofilament, monofilament only abnormal soft aluminum , can be wrapped around the fingers bent, there was not just "tough guy "-like performance.

In the fatigue test, the test flame temperature , aluminum monofilament also shows superior performance. RE outer protective cover fitted high-speed rail aluminum power cables , nearly a thousand degrees in the flames of the burner flame , cable -free retardant and dripping , only a small amount of carbide produced , and less smoke odor , the conductor is not damaged.

"This is its most popular products, completely independent research and development , the national patent . " Hebei Xin Yi , deputy general manager Wang Mans cleft proud to introduce this monofilament elongation aluminum , copper filaments than 25% higher , reaching 32 percent , " Although the gap is small, it means huge market . "

This cable as Transformers , convenient construction , waterproof , fire performance, can also work well in a variety of extreme weather conditions.
" Young Dragons " , is the most moving. Rare high-speed rail aluminum cable with independent intellectual property rights to show strong market competitiveness. " We generally do not take small orders . " Qie macro Mans said that as of October , Hebei Xin Yi only on the company's sales over a hundred million . Up to now, Xin Yi Group's sales of the product has reached 1.3 billion yuan .

Hebei Xin Yi planning objectives are: 2014 , achieved sales of 1.5 billion yuan ; 2015 , achieved sales of 3 billion yuan ; 2016 , achieved sales exceeded 10 billion yuan .

Nothing , there is a new high school students , high rare earth iron aluminum turned out

Cables are nerves and blood vessels of modern society.

Copper cable manufacturing needs , currently 97% of the domestic cable is a copper cable . Our country is poor copper country , half of the copper used in the manufacture cables. On the one hand is a nation-building requires a lot of copper , on the other hand , Western countries have achieved with aluminum cable instead of copper cables more than 40 years , the penetration rate reached 80 %.

Reality is cruel, technical barriers, R & D capabilities , knowledge of new things and other reasons , the delay in making this advanced technology in the country.

Relatively abundant domestic bauxite , rare earth resources, relatively low international prices of aluminum , how to make ?

Inventions always meet people's needs appear .

In 1993, the founder of the Xin Yi Lin Zemin Cable Co., Ltd. . Innate love pondering , unyielding him, in order to improve the competitiveness of their products , vitality, determined to take a walk is not willing that others do not go the way , he began studying with aluminum and copper , aluminum manufacturing method of study power cable .

"No, do not mean we can not do it. People landed on the moon , we can . " Lin Zemin hold the breath .

At that time , Canada, the United States and France 3 aluminum cable giant, long-term monopoly on international markets and technology , domestic much information in this regard , no one is optimistic Lin Zemin .

Lin Zemin determine their own "frustrating ."

Process of the invention is hard and grueling . 2003 10 years later,林泽民in the digestion and absorption of advanced manufacturing technology home and abroad on the basis of the cable , and finally successfully developed with independent intellectual property rights of high-speed rail welcomed the Italian brand of rare earth aluminum power cables, comprehensive technical performance has reached international advanced level, breaking the monopoly of Western technology .

RE aluminum cable a high-speed rail will be born in their prime .

Thus, Lin Zemin had such a " counter-attack " : Shahui aluminum cable birthplace - products exported to the U.S. for eight consecutive years , is widely used in the country to achieve 23 states, none of the quality accident.

In China, Xin Yi cable is thousands of successful projects favored , widely used in electrical , automotive, transportation , mining , shipbuilding , chemical, military and other fields .
Aluminum and copper to break the monopoly of the dominant national standards compiled

The price of copper is about 50,000 yuan / ton , while the price of aluminum is about 15,000 yuan / ton. In the case of the flow to achieve the same set , the weight of the aluminum cable is only half the copper , copper bending radius smaller than doubled and rebound performance 40% smaller than copper . Lin Zemin calculations: " In this case, simple construction worker , security increased, compared with the traditional copper cables , overall costs can be reduced by 40 % -50 %. "

The current global wire and cable market size has more than 100 billion euros . The output value of China's wire and cable business early in 2011 will be more than the United States, ranking first in the world . But compared to Europe, but also in the big but not strong situation.

Rare high- strength aluminum rail power cables appear to break this pattern. Product has 80 patents, flexible copper cables than a 30% increase , extension cable than copper increased by 50% , 40% smaller creep resistance than copper cables , respectively, through the authority of the United States, Canada , Australia and other countries certification.

"The Americans come here every month for some random product testing . If there is a failure is detected , immediately cancel the entry qualifications. " Qie macro Mans introduced, according to data released by the American Society of material life of rare earth high-speed rail aluminum cable copper higher than 10 years .
