titanium welding wire The first half of 2013 to run the National titanium industry overview

1 , production
The first half of 2013 the country produced titanium sponge 41015t ( first half of 2012 the production of titanium sponge 37454t), inventory 8460t. An increase of 9.5% titanium sponge , but the stock more than at the end of 2012 3660t 4800t. Taking into account the first half of 2012 titanium sponge basically no inventory in the first half of 2013 , titanium wire manufacturers sales of titanium sponge in fact declined by 3.3%.
The first half of 2013 , the country produced titanium ingots 22079t, down 32.0% .
In the first half of 2013 , the country produced titanium mill 22688t ( first half of 2012 production of titanium mill 30158t), down 24.8%.
2 , import and export
The first half of 2013 , the country imported titanium sponge 346.5t, an increase over last year 's 301.7t 44.8t; export 2309t, fell by 26.4%. Since the decline of foreign demand, capacity rises , leading to an increase in imports of titanium sponge , exports fell .
In the first half of 2013 , the titanium wires country imported titanium mill 2254t, down 16.3% ; export titanium mill 4815t, down 19.9%. Titanium processing timber imports and exports both declined .
3, the price situation
Since the second half of 2012 , the price of titanium products, all the way down , as of July 2013 level of titanium sponge prices have fallen below 50,000 yuan / t mark, dropping to 49,000 yuan / t. TA2 class standard 3.0mm thick titanium plate prices have fallen 125,000 yuan / t. Both to historical lows.
1-3 from the above situation, the first half of 2013 due to weak demand , prices dip , titanium industry in the preservation of basic operations .
4 Highlights
△ long been recognized due to the current situation , most enterprises to adapt to industrial transformation and upgrading of national policy , pay close attention to internal technical and management upgrading, handling skills , reduce costs , in order to survive.
△ Since optimistic outlook for the titanium industry , most companies are targeting the industry marine, aviation and medical titanium products for technology development, as many SMEs are actively developing titanium tubing, technically a step ahead in order , so as to promote industry-wide technology enhance the level .
△ from import and export data, the first half of 2013 , exports of the country pipe greater than imports , this is the first time with a net exporter in the pipe, which indicates that domestic processing capacity and level of titanium tubing had a great progress.
5 , the proposed
△ hope to establish purchasing and storage policy normalization titanium products , titanium products, especially now at the lowest price when the titanium products, purchasing and storage , the state of the industry are very favorable .
△ hope to further encourage titanium welding wire titanium , zirconium export products , especially hoping to carry out timely titanium, zirconium products processing trade business, while ensuring environmental protection of the premise, to promote the stable development of titanium, zirconium industry.
