The status quo of hard carbide cutting tools in our country

In 2011 domestic tool market still maintain rapid growth, is expected to create new all-time highs. Statistics show that only the first half of the domestic market tool will achieve the growth of 25% ~ 30%, although since July growth fell back, but still can achieve 15% growth throughout the year. In comparison, in recent years, international market stable recovery tool, but a conservative estimate an average annual growth rate at only 3% ~ 5%, and the domestic market after years of rapid growth in the past, will be gradually stable average annual growth in 10% ~ 15%, therefore, the domestic cutter market capacity growth more than three times faster than the international market.

The hard end mill can be divided into general and high-end category. In general, general the whole hard end mill technology difficulty is relatively small, the gap with foreign product quality is not very big. In fact, China's most of the carbide cutting tools business, including private enterprises, state-owned tools factory in mainland China and Taiwan dao qi are the hard end mill for production business. Domestic whole hard end mill at a lower price to occupy most of the low-end market of China, is also very competitive.

But in some difficult processing, high speed milling, such as high-end manufacturing field, the quality of the whole hard end mill in our country and the world still has certain gap between first-line brand knives, such as: high hardness material machining with milling cutter, high speed milling cutter, milling titanium alloy, graphite milling cutter, aviation composite materials milling cutter, precision milling cutter, etc. The added value of the whole hard end mill is higher, and the main market share occupied by foreign manufacturers, wake up, kenner, black jade, Hitachi, Frasa, Prototyp, SGS, Jabro, OSG, Hanita, ending, etc. According to incomplete statistics, in 2010 China has about 1.5 billion yuan in the high-end market demand of hard endmill, localization rate of nearly 30%.
