Amorphous alloy powder has a wide range of downstream applications and the market is developing rapidly

Amorphous alloy powder has the advantages of high hardness, high corrosion resistance and the elimination of dislocations and grain boundaries in the crystal. It is a magnetic material with excellent performance. Common products include FeCrBSi, FeNiPB, FerCuNbSiB, etc.

Magnetic materials can be divided into two categories: permanent magnet materials and soft magnetic materials; soft magnetic materials can be divided into metal soft magnets, ferrite soft magnets, amorphous alloy soft magnets, nanocrystalline soft magnets, etc. Divided by composition, amorphous alloy soft magnets include iron-based, iron-nickel-based, cobalt-based and other types; classified by form, amorphous alloy soft magnets include bulk amorphous alloys, amorphous alloy strips, and amorphous alloy powders and other products.

Amorphous alloy powder is a kind of amorphous alloy product. Compared with bulk amorphous alloy, its preparation process is relatively simple. The main preparation processes for amorphous alloy powder include: gas atomization method/water atomization method, the product has the advantages of good particle size, small particle diameter, smooth surface, etc.; high-speed runner method, first prepares the amorphous alloy thin strip, and then the thin With mechanical crushing, the product has irregular shape; chemical synthesis method can prepare ultrafine powder with particle diameter reaching nanometer level.

Amorphous alloy powder can be used to manufacture magnetic powder cores, magnetic materials, catalysts, shielding materials, coating materials and other products, and is widely used in wastewater treatment, 3D printing, electronics, communications, electric power, automobiles, industrial equipment, marine engineering, aerospace, etc. field. Amorphous alloy powder is a low-loss, high-efficiency inductor material that has attracted attention in the power industry. Amorphous alloy powder is also a coating material with excellent performance. Spraying on the surface of parts can improve the surface hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the product.

At present, my country already has highly competitive amorphous alloy powder production enterprises, and Yunlu Co., Ltd. is one of the representative enterprises. In 2013, Yunlu Co., Ltd. developed a 28-micron amorphous alloy thin strip and achieved large-scale production of amorphous alloy powder. In 2018, the atomized amorphous alloy powder production line was put into operation. In 2021, it will achieve kilogram-level preparation of spherical amorphous alloy powder. .

According to the “China Amorphous Alloy Powder Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report 2022-2027” released by the Industrial Research Center In 2019, my country’s amorphous alloy powder market demand was approximately 15 million tons, and it has grown to 30 million tons in 2021. The industry is developing extremely rapidly. Benefiting from the continuous expansion of downstream application fields, the number of companies entering the amorphous alloy powder industry in my country is increasing. Many companies have deficiencies in capital, technology, talent, etc., focusing on low-end production capacity construction, and product performance is poor.

Industry analysts said that in the future, the development of my country’s amorphous alloy powder market may show a polarized pattern. In the low-end amorphous alloy powder market, due to the increasing number of entering companies, market competition will become increasingly fierce, and vicious competition will gradually emerge; in the high-end amorphous alloy powder market, most new entrants do not have competitive advantages, and the market is still It will be occupied by existing outstanding enterprises.
