Carbide tools have dominated the type of tools in developed countries


At present, Chinese tool companies have occupied half of the market through continuous learning and strategic planning, but the enterprise still highlights several fatal problems in the development process, if not enough attention, improper handling, will seriously affect the development and progress of the enterprise.

Grasp "low" and put "high" low scientific and technological content

At this stage, cemented carbide tools have occupied a dominant position in developed countries, accounting for up to 70%. High-speed steel tools are shrinking at a rate of 1%~2% per year, and the proportion has fallen to less than 30%.

Luo Baihui, secretary general of the International Mold and Hardware and Plastic Industry Suppliers Association, pointed out that cemented carbide cutting tools have also become the main tools required by processing enterprises in China, and are widely used in heavy industry fields such as automobile and parts production, mold manufacturing, and aerospace, but China's tool companies blindly and massively produce high-speed steel knives and some low-grade standard tools, completely without considering the market saturation and the needs of enterprises, and finally give up the high-end tool market with high added value and high-tech content"To foreign companies.

According to data, the current annual sales of tools in China are about 38.5 billion yuan, of which cemented carbide tools account for less than 25%, but the cemented carbide tools required by the domestic manufacturing industry have occupied more than 50% of the tools, this blind production has seriously failed to meet the growing demand for cemented carbide tools in the domestic manufacturing industry, thus forming a vacuum state in the high-end market, and finally occupied by foreign enterprises.

Low added value of the product

In 2007, of the 16,500 tons of cemented carbide produced in China, 4,500 tons were used in the production of cutting tools, which was comparable to Japan. However, the value of the tool is only 800 million US dollars, far less than Japan's 2.5 billion US dollars, which fully shows that the overall production level of domestic cemented carbide high-efficiency tools is still quite far from that of foreign countries. Therefore, under the premise that domestic enterprises cannot meet the market demand, the demand of the manufacturing industry has to rely on a large number of imports to solve. According to data, the annual growth rate of sales of major foreign companies in China's high-end tool market has reached 30%, which has exceeded the average annual growth level of domestic tools.
