Chinatungsten Online learned that CPM Group has released its Tungsten Market Outlook 2013. The 150-page study provides an in-depth analysis of global tungsten supply, demand, and price trends, including projections for the next 10 years.  The report contains supply and demand statistics from 2000 through 2022, details on emerging tungsten projects inside and outside of China, a breakdown of tungsten demand by end-use, information on regional tungsten markets around the world, and detailed trade tables for tungsten ores, Ammonium Paratungstate (APT), and Ferrotungsten.

The prospects for the Chinese tungsten market are highlighted throughout the report, which includes a breakdown of Chinese mine production costs, mining regulation, and trade policy changes, and key demand drivers.  In addition, a project reference guide is provided with details on producing and potential tungsten mines.  The Tungsten Market Outlook provides 10-year forecasts for supply, demand, and prices under a base case and two alternate scenarios.

CPM Group’s Tungsten Market Outlook 2013:

    ►10 Year Supply and Demand Projections, and Ammonium Paratungstate (APT) Price Forecasts
    ►Tungsten Supply, Demand, and Price Projections under Alternate Scenarios
    ►Historical Supply and Demand Data
    ►Review of Chinese Trade Policies for Tungsten Products
    ►Breakdown of Chinese Mine Production Costs
    ►Tungsten Supply Detail by Country
    ►Tungsten Demand Statistics by End-Use and Region
    ►Benchmarking of Tungsten Exploration and Development Projects
    ►Mine Project Reference Guide for Producing and Potential Tungsten Mines

Tungsten demand, because of its heavy end use applications in machinery and steel, is highly sensitive to worldwide economic conditions.  Tungsten price activity over the past year largely reflected a slowing Chinese economy in which overall tungsten demand is estimated to have contracted in 2012.  In addition, as prices rose precipitously in 2011 many consumers built inventories; these inventories were partially worked down last year.  In December 2012, APT prices averaged, basis Metal Pages, $318/mtu, the lowest level since December 2010.  Over the longer term Chinatungsten Online's expects Chinese economic conditions to continue to support tungsten demand growth rates, albeit slower than in the previous decade.

Chinatungsten Online learned,China is the world’s largest producer of tungsten, typically contributing roughly eighty-five percent of global output.  Mine policies in China over the years have been introduced as part of the country’s longer term plan for economic development.  While there have been notable efforts by the Chinese government to increase the transparency of industry data, visibility into the market remains obscure.  Chinatungsten Online ’s in-depth analysis of supply trends encompasses extensive research within China to gather credible and reliable market intelligence.  Any significant shift in Chinese tariff or export policies could restructure the market again in the future.  Chinatungsten Online examines changes in these policies in its alternate scenarios for supply, demand, and prices.

Chinatungsten Online in-depth analysis of supply and demand trends encompasses extensive research to provide credible and reliable market intelligence to clients.  The outlook for tungsten supply growth is robust from both Chinese and non-Chinese producers that are expected to come on-stream over the next few years.  In the medium term, additional supply from projects in Vietnam, South Korea, and Britain could keep a cap on tungsten prices.  Over the longer term, tungsten’s unique physical properties and lack of viable substitutes should support demand and prices, despite a robust growth in supply.

Jennings Capital analyst Ken Chernin has kept his buy rating and 12 month target price of C$1.70 a share for Almonty Industries (TSE:AII), after the tungsten producer released its first quarter results on Thursday.

For the period that ended December 31, Almonty reported cash flow per share of 4 cents, versus Jennings' estimate of 3 cents and compared to 5 cents in the fourth quarter of 2012.

The company operates the Los Santos tungsten mine in Spain. The analyst notes the producer saw higher head greades during the quarter, mining 127,928 tonnes of ore at a weighted-average head grade of 0.37% tungsten, versus 114,647 tonnes of ore with a grade of 0.3% tungsten in the fourth quarter.

At the end of the quarter, Almonty was achieving recoveries of 64.8%, with Chernin noting that recoveries are continuing to improve. Plant recoveries for the first quarter averaged 63.3%, compared to 60% in the fourth quarter.

The analyst adds that his firm expects recoveries to improve to around 70% with the installation of additional gravity tables. If an additional flotation circuit is installed, Chernin says Almony could yield recoveries as high as 76%.

Cash costs are also continuing to decline, with there still being "room for improvement", the report notes. For the first quarter, Almonty's average cash cost of tungsten concentrate was US$146 per MTU, versus US$159 per MTU for the fourth quarter and compared to Jennings' estimate of US$148 per MTU.

The company is planning to connect its tungsten project to the national grid in March of this year, which could reduce power costs by C$1 million and C$1.3 million annually.

The Los Santos project is a tungsten mine located about 50 kilometers from Salamanca, in western Spain.

Shares of Almonty were changing hands Friday at around 90 cents.

Aluminium was once more costly than gold. Napoleon III, emperor of France, reserved cutlery made from it for his most favoured guests, and the Washington monument, in America’s capital, was capped with it not because the builders were cheapskates but because they wanted to show off. How times change. And in aluminium’s case they changed because, in the late 1880s, Charles Hall and Paul Héroult worked out how to separate the stuff from its oxide using electricity rather than chemical reducing agents. Now, a small British firm, hope to do much the same with tantalum, titanium and a host of other recherché and expensive metallic elements including neodymium, tungsten and vanadium.

The effect could be profound. Tantalum is an ingredient of the best electronic capacitors. At the moment it is so expensive ($500-2,000 a kilogram) that it is worth using only in things where size and weight matter a lot, such as mobile phones. Drop that price and it could be deployed more widely. Neodymium is used in the magnets of motors in electric cars. Vanadium and tungsten give strength to steel, but at great expense. And the strength, lightness, high melting point and ability to resist corrosion of titanium make it an ideal material for building aircraft parts, supercars and medical implants—but it can cost 50 times as much as steel. Guppy Dhariwal, Metalysis’s boss, thinks however that the company can make titanium powder (the product of its new process) for less than a tenth of such powder’s current price.

The difference between its process and that of Hall and Héroult (and why electrolysis has not previously been used to make metals such as tantalum and titanium) is that the Hall-Héroult method requires both input oxide and output metal to be in liquid form. That demands heat. But aluminium has a fairly low melting point and its oxide can be dissolved in a substance called cryolite that also has a low melting point, so the amount of heat needed is manageable. Titanium and tantalum are not so obliging. The company trick is to do the electrolysis on powdered oxides directly, without melting them.

This was shown to be possible in 1997 when researchers at Cambridge University found that immersing small samples of certain oxides in baths of molten salt and passing a current through them transformed the material directly into metal. Metalysis was set up in 2001 to commercialise the idea and in 2005 the firm moved to Wath-upon-Dearne, a village near Sheffield, in South Yorkshire, in order to tap the local engineering skills that once made the county (home of silver plate, stainless steel and the Bessemer converter) the California of metallurgy. These skills turned a technique that could produce a few grams of metal in a laboratory into a process that operates on an industrial scale.

2% lanthanated tungsten electrodes carry more amperage than the rest and they ball evenly on alternating current. Not all tungsten electrodes ball evenly and not all of them can handle the amperage.

With all the different types of tungsten electrodes available, like pure tungsten, ceriated, lanthanated, thoriated, and zirconiated and rare earth types, what is the best tungsten to use?

That's a big question....but

    If you are interested in an all purpose tungsten electrode that can be used for steels as well as aluminum and magnesium,...
    If you are looking for an electrode that carries more amperage than all the rest so that you can use a smaller diameter electrode...
    If you are interested in an electrode that does not give off radioactive dust when sharpened...

Then 2% lanthanated tungsten are the clear choice

    Pure tungsten balls up at relatively low amperage and often requires using one size larger electrode than others.
    1.5% lanthanated is supposed to be comparable to 2% thoriated but our tests indicate otherwise.
    2% thoriated hold up well to high amperage but don't ball up evenly on AC...and reportedly, give off radioactive dust when ground.
    Zirconiated electrodes don't carry much more current than pure tungsten.

Unless you want a drawer full of different types of tungsten, one for every situation, just get some 2% lanthanated tungsten and call it a day.

At 200 amps on AC current and 100 hz, our tests showed that 2% lanth electrodes performed better than all the rest.

If you are getting married soon and want to buy a wedding ring that is as elegant as gold and platinum, but do not have the budget for expensive rings; what is your alternative to expensive wedding rings without sacrificing quality? The answer is tungsten wedding bands, which are wedding rings made from the most durable metal used in the jewelry industry today, tungsten carbide.

Tungsten carbide wedding bands have a slightly grayish metallic hue that men love. Its polish stays flawless for years and years, unlike gold, platinum or even titanium. How can a metal that with so many advantages cost so much less? This is because the raw materials used to make tungsten wedding bands are not at all time high prices, like gold is, for example. The value of jewelry is based on the cost of the metal used to make the ring and the cost of labor that is required to make the ring. In the case of tungsten rings, the cost is mainly the cost of craftsmanship. Be careful not to purchase tungsten rings that are priced too cheaply (usually less than $100.00) because this is usually an indication of low quality.

Tungsten carbide wedding bands have the same or even superior features of traditional metals used for wedding rings. As stated earlier, they possess the qualities of being very hard, durable and resistant to dents and scratches. You do not have to worry about allergic reactions if you have sensitive skin because tungsten carbide is hypoallergenic, just like platinum. White Gold on the other hand, is not hypoallergenic because it contains a high amount of nickel. Also, tungsten also does not lose its color like white gold does after a short time of wear.

Tungsten Wedding Bands: Important Features

The most important feature of tungsten carbide wedding bands is the permanent polished look of the rings. A tungsten carbide ring never needs to be re-polished, even years or decades after you own it, which means you never have to spend any money on re-polishing of your ring, as is the case with precious metal rings. To provide additional peace of mind and value to our customers, Larson Jewelers offers a lifetime guarantee on all tungsten rings we carry. This means if anything should happen to the ring, whether it is your fault or not, we will replace it free of charge. Even if your finger size changes during the course of your lifetime, we will replace your ring with a new size. While some other retailers do provide a lifetime warranty, they do not provide a free lifetime warranty. This shows a lack of confidence in the rings that they carry.

The superior features of the tungsten carbide wedding bands mean that you do not have to take them off if you engage in sports, manual labor, or other activities that could damage rings made of traditional metals, which you have to take off to prevent any damage. Rest assured you can enjoy your favorite physical activities and wear it to work without worrying about any noticeable damage to your carbide wedding ring.

These days, people are looking for elegance, affordability and durability when shopping for a wedding band. In other words, value is what people are looking for in a wedding band. Tungsten wedding bands offer exactly that. This is why in only a few short years, tungsten wedding rings have become one of the most popular types of wedding rings on the market today.

In one of my recent articles, Tungsten rings are fast becoming a fashion trend in recent times. Whether the rings are worn for fashion, wedding symbols or as engagement rings, these fabulous rings are sure to capture a lot of attention of those who ever laid eyes on them.

Tungsten inlay wedding bands or rings are made available in classic simple styles when they first emerged in the jewelry industry. A few years ago, the process of creating tungsten carbide rings requires some extensive technology due to the complex characteristics of the tungsten metal. Hence, fast forward a few years later, the technology has advanced significantly and has since allowed many possibilities of creating more complex tungsten ring designs. Tungsten carbide rings can now be made in simple and classic dome design to a more unique flat surface design with beveled edges. The creation of the tungsten jewelry can even be elevated to a new level of carved designs, colored rings and exquisite inlays.

Tungsten inlay rings can be as simple as utilizing metals such as silver, platinum, gold and titanium or more unique materials such as carbon fiber, resin and ceramic. It is very common to use gold and carbon fiber as inlay with these tungsten rings. These inlaid rings with precious metals or carbon fiber are both modern and chic. Yet, the precious metals show a small contrast from the tungsten metal and thus bringing out a unique blend of color.

These tungsten carbide rings inlaid with gold, carbon fiber and resin offer an exquisite yet toughness character to your ring. Carbon fiber and resin inlays are fashionable and can be made in different colors that would suit many individual tastes and characteristics. On the other hand, there are also sandblast effects that are made as an alternative to inlays. Regardless, whichever inlaid rings design is selected, they are perfect from an economical standpoint that is both durable and beautiful.

Lastly, make sure you buy the tungsten rings without cobalt as to prevent any unsightly skin reactions. Check with the seller or read their tungsten rings FAQ before making any decision.

If you're like most guys, the idea of shopping for tungsten jewelry isn't one that gets you terribly excited, even if that jewelry is tungsten rings for men. Most guys are perfectly content with letting their fiancé or girlfriend choose a tungsten ring for them. If this describes your situation, here is some advice – don't let her! There is nothing less romantic then saying, "Sure, honey, why don't you just pick out a ring for me…" It's like saying "I don't really care about the most enduring symbol of our relationship." Think about it; taking the time to look at rings for men might actually be fun, and you should have at least some input in choosing a ring that you'll be wearing every day. If you let your fiancé choose a wedding ring for you, you may end up with something completely different from what you had envisioned.

Of course, this doesn't mean that you should just go shopping for a tungsten wedding ring on your own. There is definitely something to be said for getting a woman's point of view on rings for men. Perhaps she had always imagined that your ring would match her wedding band; or maybe she knows about a specific place to buy one that will save a lot of money. Besides, the selection of your tungsten wedding rings is a very special time and will be a memory that lasts forever.

Today, there are designer tungsten rings for men and women that allow you to personalize your choice of wedding jewelry and make it truly unique. Even if you are planning to buy a plain and simple band, no one is too busy to do this together. The choices are not quite as simple as they were a decade ago. Now, there are tungsten wedding rings for men in every imaginable metal and style. If you had pictured yourself wearing a yellow gold band like your father did; think again. Men are expressing a more contemporary outlook through their choice of wedding jewelry. Even those who set out to buy gold often choose two tone black titanium rings, tungsten rings with carbon fiber insets, and other industrial metals like cobalt and stainless steel. Even sterling silver is becoming a popular choice in tungsten wedding rings for men.

If your style is clean, elegant and sophisticated, you may want a ring that looks great yet doesn't "jump out at you". Some of the more popular plain bands for men are made from white tungsten and black titanium. They can be as simple as a polished and domed band, or as complex as a faceted or braided design.

Tungsten carbide rings have become a much more popular option in years of late, some as fashion and some out of economic preference. One can usually find these rings at prices under a hundred dollars, in almost every type, while as the comparably-sized gold or silver rings would come in starting at a hundred to two hundred dollars and going up sharply from there.

There are different combinations of these tungsten carbide rings, which may include those with gold overlay. However, where the majority of the weight of the ring comes from the tungsten on the inside under the gold shell, those that have elaborate designs on the outer surface, and those that come with a variety of edge-patterns to them (flat exterior edges, for example). One of the most popular options with these rings is to have them finished in a comfort-fit inner surface where the inside edges are rounded slightly for more comfort over longer periods of time. Once you have experienced a comfort fit ring, it can be very difficult to return to the more traditional fit.

As with all rings, make sure that you know what your ring size is before ordering anything. If you are ordering online, make sure that the company you are ordering from has a well-established and generous return policy in case the ring you receive does not fit as well as you thought it might. A tungsten ring will fit in the same manner and according to the same sizes as other more traditional rings.

Once you have determined your ideal ring, research it a little further to make sure it is the right one for you. It might be useful to save some of the ring options and email them to yourself to look at the next day so that you can more-objectively look at them and make sure that it has the same appeal to you the next day. This can help you from making mistakes and ordering something on impulse that you may later regret and want to return. It is good to consider tungsten rings as a pleasing alternative to spending four to five times as much on the gold or silver-based equivalents.

Tungsten rings are gaining fame as they are cheaper than gold and they are also better looking than gold. Prior to tungsten carbide rings, people used to buy gold rings for weddings, but since they got scratched easily- they lost their luster really soon and they started to look old.

Tungsten carbide is the hardest metal among all the other metals used to make jewelry, and this is why people might choose these rings for their weeding purposes. Sometimes these rings are also called permanent polish ones- because they always stay new. If you have ever tried gold or any other type of jewelry, then you would observe that it gets old and lusterless after some time. But if you get tungsten wedding bands, you will see that they appear new for much, much longer.

Another important thing of these tungsten wedding bands is that you can get them at reasonable prices. You must go for tungsten carbide if you are looking for a wedding band that looks attractive, and also affordable at the same time. Though the price of these rings increases as they use other metals or stones, but a basic tungsten ring is cheaper than a basic gold ring.

You can get several varieties in these rings- can try a sleek tungsten band or a diamond tungsten ring. Because of so many attractive features of these tungsten rings and bands, people started getting them instead of gold and platinum jewelry. So if you are looking forward to a great ring to give to your fiancé, then tungsten is the correct metal for you- it is attractive, it is durable, and it fits perfectly in your pocket. So you do not need to have second thoughts- just go and get these wedding bands to make your marriage day gift really special.
