Three pitfalls to avoid when purchasing cemented carbide

China is the world's largest country in tungsten resources, accounting for 65% of the world's tungsten ore reserves, and providing about 85% of the world's tungsten ore resources every year. At the same time, it is also a major producer of cemented carbide in the world, and the output of cemented carbide ranks among the top in the world.

Because of the advantages of tungsten resources and labor costs, cemented carbide made in China is favored by many cemented carbide buyers or users in the world due to its high quality and low price. However, most carbide buyers will fall into some misunderstandings when purchasing cemented carbide in China. Today, Chuangrui Xiaobian will share with you some misunderstandings to avoid when purchasing cemented carbide in China.

Myth 1: Think that the cheaper the price, the better. When many buyers purchase cemented carbide alloys in China, the most common method is to send an email, and then compare the prices one by one. Or repeatedly use low prices to force suppliers to lower prices. There are even situations where the target price of cemented carbide products is required to be lower than the price of raw materials. For example, the market price of tungsten powder is 50 US dollars/kg, while the target price of some buyers is 48 US dollars/kg. One can imagine the consequences of pursuing only cheapness and ignoring other practices. In order not to lose money, suppliers have to use recycled materials for production, or even replace them with iron powder, and the product quality cannot be guaranteed. Once there is a quality accident, the supplier will definitely not be responsible, so the buyer has to bear it himself. Therefore, it is not that the blind pursuit of cheap price can take advantage of a certain advantage, on the contrary, it will lose more because of quality problems, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Myth 2: Only ask whether it is production-oriented, not whether it is professional. Among the thousands of cemented carbide manufacturers in China, there are many manufacturers of various production scales, which makes it difficult to choose. Some manufacturers mainly produce cemented carbide inserts; Some manufacturers mainly produce cemented carbide molds; Some manufacturers mainly produce bars and so on. However, their professionalism in the production of certain types of products does not mean that they are professional in the production of other cemented carbide products. Therefore, when buying cemented carbide, don't just look at whether it has a production plant, equipment, and personnel, the key is to see whether he is professional in the performance, technical requirements, and use of the cemented carbide products you need. Otherwise, the product he produces may not meet your requirements. Sidi Technology Co., Ltd. has been committed to the development and production of high-end wear-resistant parts and system integration products with high added value for 14 years, and has a professional technology research and development team of more than 260 people covering materials, machinery, electrical, fluid mechanics, IT, applications and other professional fields, with an annual patent growth rate of more than 35%, and the technical guarantee makes the performance of the products recognized and highly praised by partners all over the world.

Myth 3: Only cooperate with production factories, not with trading companies. As mentioned earlier, there are thousands of manufacturers of cemented carbide in China, and there are many manufacturers of various professional products. For example, there are about 30 professional manufacturers of cemented carbide bars in China, some of which have advantages in micro bars, some have advantages in finishing, and some have advantages in making solid carbide cutter bars. As a foreign buyer, it is impossible to have much time to compare them one by one. However, it is not the same with professional trading companies in China, they know all this. If the purchase volume is not particularly large, then it is actually a very rational choice to cooperate with such a trading company. With their professional and industry experience, as well as their connections, they can get the right products and prices. Chuangrui is not only a cemented carbide manufacturer, but also your trading partner, a provider of harsh working conditions solutions in various industries.
