The sales volume of atomized alloy powder in my country continues to increase, but the competition pattern has not yet been formed.

Atomized alloy powder, also known as atomized powder material, refers to the metal or alloy powder obtained by using atomization method, using production processes such as high-pressure airflow or centrifugal force to crush the metal flow into droplets and condense it. At present, the main production processes of atomized alloy powder in my country can be roughly divided into water atomization and gas atomization. Among them, water atomized alloy powder has the advantages of large atomization power, fast cooling speed, good powder molding shape retention, etc., and the product shape is irregular; the gas atomized alloy powder production process is relatively mature, the powdering rate is low, and the product shape is According to the rules, the oxygen content is lower than that of water atomized alloy powder.

At present, my country has formed a complete atomized alloy powder industry chain. The upstream of the industrial chain is the raw material industry, which mainly provides aluminum, cobalt, iron, silicon, nickel and other metal materials; the midstream is mainly the atomized alloy powder and deep-processing soft magnetic materials and other industries, responsible for the processing and production of products; the downstream is mainly oriented to application fields and is multi-purpose In metal injection molding, powder metallurgy, smart wear, 3D printing, automobiles, home appliances and other fields.

At this stage, the powder metallurgy industry has become the main application field of atomized alloy powder. The continuous growth of automobile production and sales has promoted the rapid development of my country’s powder metallurgy industry. According to data released by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, my country’s automobile production and sales in 2022 will be 27.021 million vehicles and 26.864 million vehicles respectively, a year-on-year increase of 3.4% and 2.1%. Since powder metallurgy has the advantages of lower cost and better performance, key components such as ABS sensors in automobiles, seats in engines, and connecting rods are all produced using powder metallurgy processes. Against this background, the scale of my country’s powder metallurgy market has shown a trend of increasing year by year. In 2022, my country’s powder metallurgy market size will be 17.21 billion yuan. As a key raw material in the powder metallurgy industry, atomized alloy powder’s market size continues to grow.

According to the “my country Atomized Alloy Powder Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report 2023-2028” released by the Industrial Research Center , with the rapid development of metal injection molding-related industries in China, the application fields of metal injection molding are gradually broadening, and are gradually popularized from medical devices, 3C electronic components and other application fields to small hardware and other fields, driving the demand for atomized alloy powder to continue to grow. Driven by market demand, the sales volume of atomized alloy powder in my country continues to increase. In 2022, my country’s atomized alloy powder sales volume will be 328,000 tons.

Industry analysts said that at present, the market concentration of atomized alloy powder is low and a stable competition pattern has not yet been formed. The main foreign atomized alloy powder companies include Atmix, Carpenter, SandvikOprey, etc. The main domestic atomized alloy powder companies include Hengji Powder, Zhongtai Alloy, Yue’an New Materials, Guangzhou Nonferrous Metals Research Institute, etc. Among them, Yue’an’s new material technology level continues to improve, product quality gradually improves, and market share continues to grow. With the gradual rise of my country’s atomized alloy powder enterprises, the gap with the international advanced technology level has gradually narrowed, and the market competitiveness has gradually increased.
