Driven by the development of the application market, the atomized powder industry has huge development potential
Atomized powder refers to the metal or alloy powder obtained by using high-pressure air flow, water flow, centrifugal force and other processes to crush the molten metal flow into droplets and condense it. According to different ingredients, atomized powder can be divided into atomized iron powder, atomized steel powder, atomized copper powder, atomized cobalt powder, atomized silicon powder, atomized nickel powder, etc. Atomization powdering is the basis of new powder metallurgy technology. It has the characteristics of high balling rate, large bulk density, good compression performance, high purity, simple process flow, high flexibility, and rich powder types. It is mainly used in powder metallurgy parts. , metal injection molding technology and other fields are widely used.
The upstream of the atomized powder industry chain is scrap steel, nickel, copper and other metal raw materials as well as dryers, crushers, combustion equipment, sintering equipment, cooling equipment, water tanks and other production equipment suppliers; the midstream is Yuehua New Materials, Blite, Li Atomized powder manufacturers such as De Powder, Baohang New Materials, Yitong New Materials, Praxair, Sandvik Osprey; downstream are application fields, mainly including soft magnetic materials, energy storage materials, metal injection molding, powder metallurgy parts, and metal 3D Printing, metal injection molding technology and other scenarios; terminals include automotive electronics, consumer electronics, telecommunications, medical equipment and other fields.
Atomized powder is currently the most widely used metal powder. In recent years, against the background of the continuous development of its application fields, the scale of my country’s atomized powder market has steadily expanded. Taking atomized iron powder as an example, the growth of the atomized iron powder market mainly comes from the alloy powder market for automobiles and metal injection molding. According to 《 “2022-2027 Atomized Powder Industry Market In-depth Research and Investment Prospect Forecast Analysis Report” shows that its market sales increased from 245,000 tons in 2018 to 317,000 tons in 2021, with a compound annual growth rate during the period The growth rate is 6.5%.
From the perspective of application fields, metal 3D printing is one of the main application markets for atomized powder. The category and quality of metal 3D printing materials play a decisive role in 3D printing products. As the main component of metal 3D printing materials, atomized powder will be used in aviation in the future. In the context of the continuous expansion of the metal 3D printing material market driven by aerospace, automobiles, navigation, nuclear industry and other fields, the market demand for atomized powder will continue to increase, and the industry development prospects are good.
Industrial Analysts personnel said that my country’s atomized powder industry started relatively late, and most of the market entities are small and medium-sized enterprises, and the scale of the enterprises is small. ; Products are mainly concentrated in the mid- to low-end market; there is a large gap between production technology and international advanced levels. However, in recent years, with the continuous expansion of its application fields, my country’s atomized powder head companies have continued to rise. Companies such as Yitong New Materials, GKN, and Luyin New Materials have continued to occupy more domestic markets by virtue of their scale, technology and other advantages. share. Driven by demand and supported by policies, local atomized powder companies continue to enter the high-end market; with the continuous improvement of production technology and close cooperation in the industrial chain, the process of domestic substitution in the high-end market continues to accelerate, and my country’s atomized powder market will have greater development in the future space, the industry has huge potential for development.
