The high hardness and high wear resistance of cemented carbide make it possible to manufacture various mining tools,cutting tools,wear-resistant tools,etc.,which are widely used in construction machinery,metal cutting machine tools,automobile manufacturing,electronic information,aerospace military industry,etc.field,known as the"teeth of industry".
Cemented carbide is usually divided according to the grain size of tungsten carbide and its application field,and the grain size determines the performance and application field of cemented carbide to a large extent.
Generally speaking,the smaller the grain size,the higher the hardness of the cemented carbide and the better the wear resistance,but at the same time the toughness decreases and the impact resistance is poorer;the larger the grain size,the better the impact resistance and toughness of the cemented carbide,reduced hardness and wear resistance.
2023 my country's cemented carbide industry status and market demand
my country's cemented carbide industry began in the late 1940s.After strong support at the national strategic level and continuous development of the industry over the past few decades,China's cemented carbide industry has undergone tremendous changes,its comprehensive strength has been greatly improved,and its international competitiveness has been significantly enhanced.,and gradually formed a complete industrial system of production.
In recent years,with the steady growth of the economy,the demand for cemented carbide in downstream industries and at home and abroad continues to increase.With the growing demand for cemented carbide in the downstream industry,the market size of my country's cemented carbide industry continues to grow.The data shows that the market size of my country's cemented carbide industry in 2020 will be 21.497 billion yuan.In 2021,the market size of my country's cemented carbide industry will be 28.205 billion yuan.
At present,my country's cemented carbide market demand is still mainly concentrated in the fields of cutting tools and geological and mining tools.The data shows that in the demand structure of my country's cemented carbide market in 2021,cutting tools account for a large proportion,accounting for 31.45%;followed by geological and mining tools,accounting for 24.74%.
The tungsten market continues its strong posture before the festival,and continues to run steadily and steadily after the Spring Festival.At present,private mines are limited in operation.The reference price of 60%tungsten concentrate excluding tax is 1.67-1.68 yuan/kg degree,and the price including tax is more than 118,000 yuan/standard ton.The market is full of optimism.
The quotation of APT bulk cargo is 180,000-182,000 yuan/ton.Although there is a lack of representative transactions,under the support of costs,smelters are reluctant to sell and wait for an increase,and actively raise their quotations.The tungsten powder market follows the trend.The current quotation of tungsten carbide is above 268 yuan/kg,and the quotation of tungsten powder is in the range of 273-275 yuan/kg,shrinking and rising slowly.
The cemented carbide market is calm.Since no new orders have emerged,companies are cautious about raising prices for the time being.Quotations for finished alloys are relatively stable,waiting for demand to enter the market.
