This week ferrotungsten market demand continues to slump, the market temporarily steady run, newly signed smelter single hard, take the goods difficult. Market demand is expected ago ferrotungsten or difficult to break, mainly due to: the Spring Festival approaching, the downstream steel industry needs less equipment downtime smelter also began to leave home, tungsten, iron market inquiry less turnover situation is not optimistic. It is understood that the cash price concentrated 15 yuan / ton or less, redemption price at 152,000 yuan / ton.

Tungsten iron prices are expected to decline year may not: on the one hand due to raw material price increases, the cost of support, and cargo operators reluctant to sell raw materials, raw material procurement more difficult; on the other hand this tungsten iron smelters home inventory has been strictly controlled, tungsten iron smelter currently home inventory is not large, open next year in procurement of raw materials more difficult, is estimated to have a new multi-March tungsten produced iron products, tungsten, iron smelters therefore not possible at home before selling cheap tungsten iron.

Despite the increase in market inquiry, but more reluctant to sell goods holders, tungsten ore deal now still deadlocked. Recent tungsten ore prices stabilized and rebounded slightly downstream tungsten smelter home actively purchasing of raw materials, the hot money is also an attempt to hoard points before bargain-hunting tungsten ore, tungsten ore increased inquiry, the inquiry also slowly increase.

The main reason is: hold stocks generally optimistic about the tungsten market after the Spring Festival, when you think there is to rally and hold stocks in the hands of mostly high-priced stocks, the current price of shipping, still upside down. It is understood, APT smelter home to 60 degrees wolframite inquiry from 77,000 yuan / ton at the end of December, now raised to 79,000 yuan / ton, up about 2000 yuan / ton.

Tungsten market: Although partial funding remains tight, but tungsten smelters are gradually stocking home to prevent raw materials can not buy a short time after the Spring Festival this week, ammonium paratungstate, tungsten powder Inquiry increased slightly, but the volume is still large, turnover slow price increases, paratungstate smelter recent home price continued strong foreign, low turnover decreased enthusiasm smelter home sales weakened, mainly old orders, sodium tungstate continued weak market demand, low stock market trading, manufacturers continue to produce less expected this week, the price of tungsten may be more stable and was up.

Paratungstate smelter recent home price continued foreign firm, the market price of the mainstream tax concentrated in 12.8-13 yuan / ton, low turnover decreased smelter positive home sales weakened, mainly in the old orders, is expected to near paratungstate prices or hovering in the 13 mainstream Wan nearby.

Causes leading to paratungstate market situation are: ① raw Scheelite cargo operators reluctant to sell bullish attitude enriched, ammonium paratungstate procurement of raw materials more difficult; ② raw tungsten concentrate prices rose, raising the cost of production of ammonium paratungstate, foreign offer strong; ③ part downstream powder manufacturers received orders more ammonium demand for paratungstic increased slightly, to some extent support paratungstate market strong run; again ④ Pan Asian deferred payment paratungstate smelter home loans, paratungstate smelter home temporarily still money is tight, while sales paratungstate mostly accepted transaction Therefore enthusiasm temporarily weak sales, cash transactions are still relatively popular.

Although partial funding still tight, but tungsten smelters are gradually stocking home to prevent raw materials can not buy a short time after the Spring Festival this week, ammonium paratungstate, tungsten powder Inquiry increased slightly, but the volume is still large, slow price increases, sodium tungstate continued weak market demand, low stock market trading, manufacturers continue to produce less, 96% sodium tungstate focused on the mainstream market price 103,000 yuan / ton in the vicinity, however it is understood the individual market has emerged less than 10 million or less the transaction price. Tungsten prices expected this week may be more stable and was up.

Macro level, oil prices plunged 4.7 percent on Monday once again, fell below $ 46 a barrel; intraday spot exchange rate of RMB rose hundreds of points, hit a new high this year; Shanxi: Coal pushing reforms to stimulate economic vitality.

Tungsten market: Pan Asia again last week before unfulfilled commitments if, January 10 payment, pay only a small amount, and interest businesses complain about, affected, this is around the corner of buyers, caution, market sentiment increasingly rich, tungsten steel scrap prices firm, insufficient cash distribution market, turnover of more than small amounts of transactions. This week tungsten or temporary stabilization of the main city, turnover remained deadlocked.

Following the mid-December, Pan Asia last weekend again if unfulfilled commitments, January 10 before payment, pay only a small amount, the original is still around 10 million of the purchase price of APT smelter to get only about 500,000 homes, businesses complain interest payments are not enough, tungsten market is still tight, mostly temporary funding.

Affected by this, this is just around the corner of the city is slightly cooled tungsten, tungsten concentrate buyers of raw materials subject to funding constraints and operating cautious market sentiment increasingly rich, tungsten ore prices are expected to stabilize or temporarily dominated this week, turnover remained stalemate.

It was revealed that the completion of the Pan-Asian businessmen speak before the Spring Festival payment; analysts believe that the New Year's business is likely to get their money, when bank lending has basically been credited market funds eased.

Waste tungsten soft material market adequate inventory, with the last week of tungsten ore prices rise slightly, the recent waste tungsten grinding material holding cargo shipping business actively, then a lack of market demand, the transaction difficulties, short-term market is expected to stabilize weak.

Tungsten steel scrap prices firm, inadequate distribution market stock, traded mostly small amount transactions. Analysts believe that the stock shortage, low market activity factors are: on the one hand because near the end, traders operating enthusiasm is low, partly because holding the goods are high-priced stocks, the current low willingness to sell at a loss.

According to the China Defense Science and Technology Information Network reported that the US is expected to replace the development of a new type of armor-piercing depleted uranium, tungsten alloys ferrochrome.

University of Massachusetts (MIT) researchers have developed a new type of tungsten powder metallurgy ferrochrome alloy W-7Cr-9Fe, can replace the depleted uranium penetrators alloys. Test results show that, W-7Cr-9Fe alloy nano-indentation hardness up to 21 GPa, which is about twice the nanocrystalline iron-based alloy or coarse-grained tungsten, much higher than the current commercial tungsten alloys.

During the preparation of this alloy are: first nano crystalline powder, then made into a desired shape. Among them, the use of high-energy ball milling the powder is prepared by powder metallurgy process, including the repeated shear prompted alloy powder mix, accompanied by heat-activated recovery process, the alloy to return to equilibrium.

The molding process using an electric field assisted sintering hot pressing process, the researchers noted that when the processing time of 1 minute, the temperature is 1200 ℃, the alloy crystal structure obtained is good, and the maximum hardness. The long processing time and high temperature leads to the metal grain coarsening, strength is lowered. Micrographs show, W-7Cr-9Fe alloy grain structure prepared by MIT researchers can reach 130 nm.
