Tungsten market: Despite With the Spring Festival approaching, the downstream tungsten smelter shutdown home mostly to reduce the demand for raw materials tungsten concentrate, but by last weekend raised the support price guide, tungsten concentrate more reluctant to sell goods holders do not sell, stock market almost buy tungsten concentrate ore price relative was up. European tungsten market gradually stabilized stabilized, mainly because the traditional Chinese Spring Festival approaching, tungsten smelter home gradually discontinued, no shipping, paratungstate Europe but raised the price $ 10 / metric ton. European mills by the end of January ferrotungsten contraband sent to the purchase price of $ 33 / kg.

Tungsten quote MB British Metal Bulletin published in the latest: ferrotungsten 32.7-33 USD / kg tungsten, with the last flat, paratungstate Hong Kong 265-300 price fell $ 6.5 / ton degrees, paratungstate European average price rose 260-300 $ 10 / metric ton.

From this quote we can directly see the European market gradually stabilized stabilized tungsten, mainly because of the traditional Chinese Spring Festival approaching, tungsten smelter home gradually discontinued, no shipping, paratungstate Europe but raised the price $ 10 / metric ton. European mills by the end of January ferrotungsten contraband sent to the purchase price of $ 33 / kg.

Although with the Spring Festival approaching, the downstream tungsten smelter shutdown home mostly to reduce the demand for raw materials tungsten concentrate, but by last weekend raised the support price guide, tungsten concentrate more reluctant to sell goods holders do not ship, spot market almost can not buy Scheelite ore price relative was up.

It is understood that there is still a small amount of hot money in the tentative inquiry, Scheelite spot market activity is very low, ≥60 degrees wolframite concentrate on the current mainstream price 1.13 yuan / kWh.

A common tool in the Chinese market with high-speed steel cutting tools, carbide cutting tools, metal cutting tools and ceramics PCD / PCBN superhard cutting tools. In addition to the complexity of high-speed steel cutting tools forming tool (root cutters, gear hobs, broaches, taps), mostly in low-volume low-end value of the tool.

With the rapid upgrading of China's manufacturing industry, continue to promote advanced technology and carbide cutting tools, high speed steel cutting tools in the domestic market shrinking, now its share has been less than 60%; cermet kept in steel and cast iron precision turning advantage, its market share of approximately 2%; ceramic tool in high-speed milling, especially aerospace difficult materials to get the promotion, accounting for about 1% of the market share; superhard materials PCD / PCBN market share of about 2%, mainly focus on non-ferrous metals and processing of ferrous metals.

1. Situation entire hard drill

Drilling under conditions of poor cooling and chip forming conditions, technical requirements, so the drill bit is high value-added products. High-end products are mainly whole hard drill is used in automotive, aerospace, engineering machinery, high-speed rail, power equipment, power equipment, refrigeration equipment and other high-precision machining fields.

There were only a handful of tools the company's products to enter these high-end manufacturing, to compete with international brands. For example, the tool most demanding automotive engine manufacturing field, can often see domestic brands are basically the only Arnold Suzhou, and Shanghai Zhuzhou Diamond Tools Factory and several other companies. In recent years, rapid development of Suzhou Arnold, in addition to the production of non-standard drill, but has started production and sales of standard whole hard drill in 2011. Even in other areas of precision manufacturing, and only Arnold Zhuzhou Diamond and Suzhou entire hard bit and international brands on the same stage in the competition. According to rough statistics, about 900 million yuan high-end market demand for full-scale drill hard, and high localization rate of the entire hard drill approximately only 15% about China in 2010.

Currently, common in the Chinese market of high-end hard drill, mainly from Europe and the whole United States, Japan and other industrialized countries, such as Sandvik, Kennametal, Guehring, Ditaikesi, 玛帕 and Japan's Mitsubishi, Sumitomo, Osvald machines.

Most of these companies in Singapore and mainland China have a lot of inventory standard drill, drill bit and put some non-standard production also put China. South Korea, Taiwan drill product quality is not strong, so the market is also rare.

Most of the domestic and international line tool business tool brand gap in terms of the entire hard drill mainly design, manufacturing details, material selection and coating treatment. Performance gap between domestic and drill largest concrete products: drill machining steel, replacing the gun drill hole twist drill, drill machining high-temperature alloys, high hardness steel and other materials. In these areas, there were only individual enterprises mastered the design and manufacturing technology.

2. Situation entire hard end mills

Entire hard milling cutter can be divided into two types of general-purpose and high-end model. In general, the universal whole hard milling cutter technology is relatively easy, product quality gap with foreign countries is not great. In fact, the vast majority of Chinese enterprises carbide cutting tools, knives, including private enterprises, state-owned enterprises knife tool factory in mainland China and Taiwan are integral to the production of hard milling cutter based industry. Domestic entire hard milling cutter at a lower price occupation of China's most low-end market, the competition is fierce.

But in some hard working, high-speed milling and other high-end manufacturing areas, our entire hard stand is still a gap between the quality of milling tools with world brands, such as: high hardness materials processing mills, high speed milling, titanium alloy cutter, graphite milling, milling aerospace composite materials, precision milling and so on. These higher value-added whole hard milling cutter, and the major market share occupied by foreign manufacturers, such as Sandvik, Kennametal, Dai Jie, Hitachi, Frasa, Prototyp, SGS, Jabro, OSG, Hanita, LMT and so on. According to incomplete statistics, China high-end market is about 15 billion yuan in 2010 the demand for the entire hard milling cutter, the localization rate of close to 30%.

Tungsten market: With the advent of the traditional Spring Festival, APT, tungsten powder smelter home or stop offer, or discontinued, the demand for raw materials Scheelite also not so urgent, so the actual price of tungsten concentrate and not with the guidance prices increases in gains. Tungsten market trading little low market activity is expected this month or mainstream wolframite ore price stabilization, spot purchases difficult, ore price hovering at 85,000 yuan / ton.

Despite last week's institutions and big companies offer Qi increases, tungsten city after strong bullish sentiment, tungsten concentrate more reluctant to sell goods holders, spot market shortages, very little turnover, there is almost no market price.

See atmosphere rich tungsten concentrate market is expected to stabilize this week, the mainstream price of tungsten concentrates, wolframite mainstream price of 85,000 yuan or centralized / ton in the vicinity, but this week the market low prices or reduced, the whole trend of steady or small up.

However, with the traditional Spring Festival approaching, the downstream tungsten smelter home gradually discontinued, production, operation enthusiasm are low, demand for raw materials is also not so urgent tungsten concentrate, so the actual price of tungsten concentrate and not with the guide price increases The rise.
