Why has the price of alumina raw materials increased?

Recently, the market for alumina ceramic raw materials has experienced a new round of price increases, with multiple ceramic companies announcing price hikes ranging from 10% to 20%. This price surge not only affects the production cost of alumina ceramic substrates, but also affects the entire passive component industry chain, triggering widespread market attention.   It is understood that the price of alumina ceramics, as a key upstream material for passive components such as chip resistors, has been affected by fluctuations in the raw material market. In recent years, with the recovery of the global economy and the growth of demand, the prices of raw materials such as alumina have continued to rise. Especially since 2022, due to multiple factors such as the dual carbon policy, emission reduction, and power rationing policy, the cost of energy such as coal and natural gas has also significantly increased, further pushing up the production cost of alumina ceramics. The data shows that the futures price of alumina has shown a significant upward trend in the past year. Taking the latest data on October 15, 2024, as an example, the latest price of the main contract for alumina futures is 4856.0 yuan/ton, an increase of 85.0 yuan/ton from the previous trading day, with a fluctuation of 1.78%. This increase not only reflects the tense situation in the raw material market but also indicates a further rise in the price of alumina ceramics.   Under cost pressure, multiple alumina ceramic production companies have had to announce price increases. The leading global upstream material for chip resistors, alumina ceramic substrates, has announced a price increase of at least 15%. This measure is not only to cope with the rise in raw material costs, but also to ensure the normal operation and profit margins of the enterprise.   However, the wave of price increases has also raised concerns in the market. Some downstream companies have stated that the rise in prices of alumina ceramics will directly increase their production costs, thereby affecting the market competitiveness of their products. Meanwhile, price increases may also lead to some small and medium-sized enterprises being forced to shut down or reduce production due to cost pressures, further exacerbating the supply-demand imbalance in the market.   Faced with the wave of price increases, industry experts suggest that companies should strengthen cost control and risk management, and improve product added value and market competitiveness through technological innovation and industrial upgrading. At the same time, the government should strengthen market supervision and policy guidance to promote the healthy and sustainable development of the alumina ceramic industry.   Overall, the rise in the price of alumina ceramics is the result of multiple factors working together. Under cost pressures such as rising raw material prices and increased energy costs, raising prices for enterprises is a last resort. However, price increases also bring uncertainty and risks to the market. In the future, how the alumina ceramic industry will seek a balance between cost pressure and market competition will be the focus of industry attention.

Quality wins and impresses foreign-funded enterprises

As an enterprise focusing on the research and development, production, and export of alumina ceramics, Ibeno has an international and professional team, with deep experience in alumina ceramic manufacturing and a high-standard quality control system, which is the key to our ability to win the trust of global customers.   Recently, a large equipment manufacturer from Southeast Asia ordered a batch of alumina ceramic sleeves from us. Because the diameter of this batch of ceramics is very large (the inner diameter of the largest ceramic ring is close to 500mm), it is very easy to deform during the production process, which is a challenge for our production.   The customer contacted several suppliers at the same time. Due to the limited production equipment, they could not produce such a large size of alumina ceramic sleeves. To find a suitable supplier, the customer went to China and came to our factory for a comprehensive investigation, and deeply understood our company's overall strength in research and development, production, installation services, etc., and finally decided to sign a contract with us. After we deeply understood the customer's needs, we immediately organized a technical team to carry out product research and development and production preparation. From raw material screening, formula optimization, and production process to product testing, each process is strictly controlled and tested to ensure that the performance indicators of alumina ceramics meet international standards. In the manufacturing process of alumina ceramics, we pay attention to quality control at every link. In particular, the customer proposed that the deformation of the ceramic ring must be minimized. We recorded and analyzed each process in detail so that we could quickly find out the cause and take corresponding improvement measures when quality problems occurred.   To meet the customer's requirements for the purity of alumina ceramics, we used high-purity alumina raw materials and avoided any pollution and impurities in the production process through strict process control. Our alumina ceramic products have undergone strict quality inspections before leaving the factory to ensure that the products meet customer requirements.   In the process of exporting alumina ceramic pipes, we also focus on providing customers with a full range of services. From product consultation and technical support to logistics distribution and after-sales service, we are customer-oriented and strive to provide customers with the best service. We have established long-term cooperative relationships with many internationally renowned logistics companies to ensure that alumina ceramic products can be delivered to customers safely and quickly.   After 50 days of hard work, the production and export tasks of this batch of alumina ceramics were finally completed. When the customers received the products, they expressed high appreciation and recognition for our product quality and service. This successful export experience not only enhanced Ibeno's reputation in the international market but also won us more international customers.   We will continue to uphold the business philosophy of "quality first, customer first", constantly innovate our product and service systems, and provide high-quality alumina ceramic products and services to global customers. We will provide the best alumina ceramic solutions to global customers with greater enthusiasm and more professional technology.

Do you know the introduction and application fields of ceramic wear-resistant composite plates?

Ceramic wear-resistant composite plates are made by using advanced hot vulcanization technology to vulcanize toughened wear-resistant ceramics and rubber together to form a square ceramic rubber composite, which is fixed on the protective surface of the equipment by welding (three-in-one series) or high-strength adhesive bonding (two-in-one) to form a strong and buffering anti-wear layer. It combines the advantages of the high hardness of ceramics and the high buffering and fatigue resistance of rubber, which can well solve the problem of equipment wear protection in large-block material transportation. In addition to good wear and corrosion resistance, adding rubber can also prevent production stoppage due to material aggregation and reduce noise.   Ceramic wear-resistant composite plates are mainly used in coal transportation and ash discharge systems of thermal power plants and material transportation, batching silos, hoppers, and other equipment in the metallurgical steel industry. It can solve the problem of low service life of the batching and conveying system due to large material drop and strong impact; at the same time, ceramic rubber composite linings can be twisted and cut, and are suitable for the installation of various special-shaped equipment. Scope of application: Ceramic wear-resistant composite plates combine the high wear resistance of ceramics and the impact resistance of rubber and are suitable for wear protection of material conveying system equipment, such as coal hoppers, coal pipes, ball mill inlets, outlet pipes, etc. It can also be used in coal conveying systems of thermal power plants and hoppers and silos of material conveying and batching systems of sintering plants in metallurgy and steel systems, and other parts with high drop and large impact. By changing the formula of rubber, wear-resistant ceramic lining plates with special properties can be obtained, which can be used for wear protection of equipment in different environments and working conditions.

How to choose wear-resistant ceramics in strong impact environments?

When choosing wear-resistant ceramics in strong impact conditions, it is indeed necessary to consider multiple factors to ensure that the ceramics can meet the needs of the actual working conditions. Here are some specific suggestions: 1. Choose large and thick ceramics: Choose large and thick ceramic sheets, because when small pieces of ceramics are spliced ​​together by glue, they are easy to crack, break, or fall off from the splicing when they are impacted by large pieces of materials. The thickness of the ceramic is also crucial. Sufficient thickness can provide better impact resistance and avoid being directly smashed or cracked.   2. Choose ceramic rubber two-in-one ceramics (normal temperature environment): If the temperature of the working environment allows, it is a good choice to choose a ceramic rubber two-in-one composite ceramic sheet. This composite ceramic combines the wear resistance of ceramics and the impact resistance of rubber and can solve the problems of wear and impact at the same time. But please note that rubber is not resistant to high temperatures, so this composite ceramic is only suitable for normal temperature environments. 3. Choose ZTA ceramics: ZTA ceramics are zirconium oxide alumina composite ceramics. Compared with ordinary alumina ceramics, its toughness is greatly enhanced and its impact resistance is significantly improved. ZTA ceramics can operate stably in high-temperature environments and are suitable for a variety of strong-impact conditions. They are an effective choice for solving wear and impact problems.   4. Choose impact-resistant ceramics with protrusions: The impact resistance of ceramics can be improved by changing their shape, such as making hemispherical protrusions on the surface of ceramics. This design can effectively disperse the impact force and improve the impact resistance of ceramics.   In summary, when selecting wear-resistant ceramics in strong impact conditions, it is necessary to comprehensively consider multiple factors such as the size, thickness, material, shape, and working environment of the ceramics. These conditions can be selected separately or superimposed to ensure that the selected ceramics can meet the needs of actual working conditions.

Explore the diverse and innovative applications of wear-resistant ceramic pipes

With the advancement of industrialization and the growing need for wear resistance, wear-resistant ceramic pipes are increasingly used in various industries. This article will take everyone to explore the diverse and innovative applications of wear-resistant ceramic pipes.   The wear-resistant ceramic pipe is a new type of wear-resistant pipe material that has many advantages. First of all, the thermal expansion coefficient of wear-resistant ceramic pipes is equivalent to that of straight pipes and powder-conveying pipes. Therefore, it is not affected by many factors such as temperature and flushing, and will not be broken due to expansion or contraction. It has excellent durability. Thermal and corrosion resistance. Secondly, the inner wall of the pipe is covered with wear-resistant ceramic material and the transition is smooth, thus improving its wear resistance. The diversification of wear-resistant ceramic pipes is reflected in two aspects. ① The diversification of lining ceramics. In terms of materials, there are not only commonly used alumina ceramics, but also zirconia, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, and other ceramics. In terms of structure, they are not only There are ceramic sheets, ceramic rings, ceramic tubes, etc. ② Diversification of external steel structures. The materials include not only stainless steel but also carbon steel and alloy steel structures. The shapes include straight pipes, elbows, multi-passes, large and small heads, backpack pipes, and distributors.   Wear-resistant ceramic pipes are widely used in all walks of life. In the metallurgical and electric power industries, when a large number of pipelines are needed to transport ingredients such as coal powder, slag, mortar, lime gypsum slurry, etc., wear-resistant ceramic pipelines can be used to replace other pipelines. This type of pipe has the advantages of ultra-wear resistance, long life, and easy installation, which can significantly improve efficiency.   In the power industry, wear-resistant ceramic pipes are widely used in ash discharge pipes, which solves the original problems of severe wear and low service life of the pipes, and greatly extends the service life of the pipes. In addition to being widely used in the above industries, wear-resistant ceramic pipes are also widely used in steel plants and cement plants. In addition, wear-resistant ceramic pipes can be used directly in lithium power plants without external steel structures, and can also be used in applications with strong corrosive flue gas desulfurization devices, these successful cases provide good ideas for the innovative application of wear-resistant ceramic pipes.   Wear-resistant ceramic pipes are gradually being recognized and applied in all walks of life due to their excellent wear resistance and wide application industries. With the continuous development of science and technology and the improvement of wear-resistant performance requirements, the development prospects of wear-resistant ceramic pipes will be broader. We believe that through continuous innovation and technological optimization, wear-resistant ceramic pipes will provide more reliable and durable pipe solutions for various industries.

What are the requirements for lithium battery cathode material transportation pipelines? How dou you choose materials?

In recent years, with the rapid development of the new energy industry, lithium batteries are its core component, and its upstream and downstream industries have also shown rapid growth. Lithium battery cathode material powder transportation is a key link in the lithium battery manufacturing process and plays a vital role in ensuring production efficiency and product quality. To ensure the stability, efficiency, and safety of cathode materials during transportation, the design and material selection of transportation pipelines need to meet a series of requirements. Lithium battery cathode material transportation pipeline requirements Isolate metal: The cathode material of lithium battery will directly affect the performance of lithium battery and is very sensitive to metal pollution. Therefore, metal needs to be isolated during transportation. This requires us not to use metal pipes. We can use ceramics, glass, polymers, and other materials. pipeline.   Wear resistance: The cathode material transports a large amount, and the pipeline is in a high-load operation state for a long time and will be subject to continuous wear. Once the wear resistance of the pipeline is poor, it will be worn and worn out in a short period, causing material leakage, pollution, etc. It requires shutdown for maintenance, which is time-consuming, laborious, and cost-intensive. Therefore, pipeline wear resistance is also an important requirement for lithium battery cathode material transportation pipelines.   Good sealing: The positive electrode material transportation process requires good sealing to avoid powder leakage and contamination.   How to select materials for lithium battery cathode material transportation pipelines? The requirement to isolate metal first excludes metal pipes, and good wear resistance also limits the use of glass pipes and polymer pipes. Ordinary glass pipes are too fragile, inconvenient to transport and install, and are prone to breakage, cracking, and other problems. To improve the wear resistance and strength of glass pipes, the cost will increase sharply, which is not in line with actual needs.   The same is true for polymer materials. The wear resistance of ordinary polymer materials cannot meet the requirements, and the ones that meet the requirements are too expensive. Both materials have appeared in lithium battery cathode material transportation pipelines but were quickly replaced by ceramic tubes due to their limitations.   The ceramic tube not only isolates metal and eliminates metal pollution, but also has high hardness and is super wear-resistant. The integrally formed wear-resistant ceramic tube greatly reduces splicing gaps, has good sealing performance, and has a smooth inner wall, which reduces hanging materials and blocking materials. Feedback since it was put into the market is good!
