Current status of cemented carbide

Cemented carbide is made of tungsten carbide powder (hardened phase) of high-hardness refractory metal as the main component, and metals such as cobalt and nickel (binder phase) as binders. It is ball milled, pressed, and sintered with extremely high Alloy material with high hardness and good wear resistance. In the cemented carbide industry chain, the upstream is mainly tungsten ore, cobalt ore mining, tungsten carbide, cobalt powder, etc., and the downstream is mainly cutting tools, mining tools and wear-resistant tools.https://www.ihrcarbide.com/

Although my country’s cemented carbide production has gradually increased, the international competitiveness of the products is weak. Judging from the number of my country’s cemented carbide imports and exports, my country’s imports of cemented carbide products will decrease by 12.8% year-on-year to 1,285.8 tons in 2021, and exports will increase by 32.96% year-on-year. % to 3190.3 tons. As of the first quarter of 2022, my country’s cemented carbide import volume was 334.8 tons, a year-on-year increase of 4.73%, and the export volume was 651.1 tons, a year-on-year decrease of 11.81%.
