Tool structural imbalance is the production tool Requirements wrong way. Carbide cutting tools gap: users need, but the high-speed steel cutting tools overproduction; much-needed and efficient tool of modern manufacturing gap, but low-grade standard tool overproduction.
In developed countries, carbide cutting tools account for the dominant position of the cutting disc, the proportion of 70%. And high-speed steel cutting tools to reduce the rate of 1% to 2% annually, the proportion has dropped to less than 30%. Accounted for about 3% of diamond, cubic boron nitride and other superhard tool.
China's current annual production of about 80,000 tons of high-speed steel, accounting for about 40% of the global output, consumes a lot of valuable tungsten, molybdenum and other scarce resources. This blind expansion and low-level redundant, making the production of high-speed steel cutting tools excessively large, had sold at low prices, leading to a large number of tool production enterprises with low efficiency.
China's current annual output of carbide 16,000 tons, and also accounts for about 40% of the global output. However, the highest value-added production of the cutting blade carbide products, only 3 thousand tons, accounted for only 20%. This situation, on the one hand, caused by lack of badly needed supply of carbide cutting wheel, on the other hand, the valuable resources of carbide underutilized.
