China's green powder metallurgy industry ranks in the forefront of the world

The reporter learned from the 6th Asia powder metallurgy conference concluded in Xiamen on November 6th that since the beginning of this century, the production of iron powder and alloy powder in China has increased from 100,000 tons to 380,000 tons, which has already accounted for the world’s total output of iron and steel powder. a quarter. China is still a large country with tungsten and molybdenum resources, and new refractory metal materials also have great development. The output of cemented carbide cutting tools and tools ranks among the top in the world, and the capacity of some industries ranks first in the world.

It is understood that as a new green, efficient, low-carbon and sustainable material, powder metallurgy is a basic and strategic emerging industry and occupies a very important position in economic development. Powder metallurgy products have been widely used in key industries such as metallurgy, machinery, automobiles, motorcycles, home appliances, textiles, chemicals, environmental protection, and energy. The heat-resistant, corrosion-resistant, friction-reducing, wear-resistant and friction materials and some key products used in the defense industry of launch vehicles, rockets, aero-engines, and nuclear industries can only be manufactured using powder metallurgy technology. Nano-technology processes and nano-powder products have also entered the emerging field of powder metallurgy, highlighting the importance of new powder metallurgy technologies, new processes, and new materials. According to experts, powder metallurgy will also play a more important role in the defense military industry, Hyundai Motor, and a new generation of information technology infrastructure devices in the future.

The second Asia Powder Metallurgy Conference APMA2013 was jointly sponsored by the Powder Metallurgical Industry Technology Innovation Strategic Alliance and the Taiwan Powder Metallurgy Association. The theme of the conference was "Powder Metallurgy - Opportunities and Development in Asia." During the conference, the "2013 National Conference on Powder Metallurgy and the Symposium on Powder Metallurgy across the Strait" and "Powder Metallurgy Products and Technology Exhibition" were also held.
