New China tungsten industry for 60 years

The 60-year-old tungsten industry in New China has been bathed in spring and rain, from scratch, from small to large, from weak to strong, achieving a historic leap and creating brilliant achievements.

First, the glorious course

The 60-year history of the new Chinese tungsten industry has gone through three stages of development:

(1) The stage of entrepreneurship and rise (1949-1981)

The geological census exploration work achieved fruitful results in the second half of the 1950s. After the 1960s, many new deposits were discovered nationwide, and more reserves were added to build a group of tungsten mining and mining joint ventures. Laid a solid foundation.

In 1952 the completion of China's first mechanized beneficiation plant - Dajishan tungsten ore processing plant, during the first five-year plan, Dajishan, West Mountain, Kui Miyama is listed as the former Soviet Union aided 156 key projects in . Subsequently, dozens of mechanized mining mines have been established, gradually forming the world's largest tungsten mining and mining system.

Liberation, Dalian Steel created the history of China's hard alloy. In the early 1950s, a number of cemented carbide workshops were built, which opened the curtain for the development of China's cemented carbide industry. In 1958, Zhuzhou Cemented Carbide Plant, the first large-scale tungsten industry comprehensive production enterprise in China, which was one of the 156 key projects during the “First Five-Year Plan” period, was completed. From the first lamp of 0.18mm tungsten wire produced by Shanghai Bulb Factory in September 1953, a batch of tungsten smelting and processing enterprises were built.

(II) Research and development stage (1981-2000)

In 1981 and 1983, the first and second national tungsten technology conferences were held. Comrade Fang Yi’s inscriptions: “Revitalizing the Tungsten Industry” and “Chongfeng Peak” blew the horn of the tungsten industry and technology, and emerged. Many scientific research results that have surpassed the world level, such as “extraction” and “ion exchange” tungsten smelting processes, have been independently developed successfully.

Reform and opening up has opened a new era in the development of China's cemented carbide industry. Zhuzhou Cemented Carbide Plant and Zigong Cemented Carbide Plant have successively introduced advanced foreign production lines or production technologies, which have improved the level of process equipment and product quality of China's cemented carbide and narrowed the gap with the international advanced level.

The reform and opening up has also provided a good development opportunity for the tungsten processing industry, which has led to a significant increase in the output of tungsten materials, and a new pattern in product quality, variety and specifications.

(III) Reform and innovation stage (2001-2009)

In the double handover of the century and the millennium, China's tungsten industry presents a new situation of total volume increase, efficiency improvement, structural optimization and industrial upgrading.

In some areas, a tungsten industry cluster has been formed, which has enabled the tungsten industry to develop rapidly.

V. Valuable historical experience

(1) Implementing strategic management for the development and utilization of tungsten resources

Tungsten is a rare metal mineral resource with special strategic significance due to its unique properties and difficult to replace in a wide range of fields. It is one of China's most advantageous mineral resources in the world.

In order to safeguard national interests, strategic interests, economic security and national defense security, we must implement strategic management of China's tungsten resources, including formulating strategic plans, strengthening strategic protection, and implementing strategic reserves.

(2) Strengthening macroeconomic regulation and control and implementing strict total control

In 1991, the State Council listed tungsten as a specific mineral for protective exploitation. The Mineral Resources Law clearly stipulates that “planned mining is implemented”. Tungsten mining and export total control are listed in the National “Tenth Five-Year Mineral Resources Planning”, and the Ministry of Land and Resources’ “2008-2015 National Mineral Resources Planning” reaffirms: “The total annual mining volume of specific minerals strictly applied for protective mining” Index control, super-planned mining and unplanned exports are strictly prohibited."

The practice of the 60-year development of the tungsten industry in New China proves that only by strictly controlling the total amount of tungsten ore, tungsten production and export in accordance with national regulations, can we give full play to the advantages of China's tungsten resources and the right to speak in the international market. This is a valuable experience that must be cherished after decades of great cost.

(3) Strengthening industry self-discipline to maintain market order and industry interests

The experience and lessons of the 60-year development of the tungsten industry in New China shows that it is no longer possible to fight resources, vicious competition, and “collective suicide”. To accept the painful lessons of history, we must give full play to the role of industry associations as bridges and bridges, strengthen the service, supervision, and self-discipline functions of the association, and establish the association as a self-regulatory group that regulates the industry market and realizes the orderly development of the industry. Market order, safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises, and safeguard the interests of the industry; achieve self-discipline and win-win in the whole industry through industry self-discipline.

(4) Large-scale, intensive and professional development, in order to achieve the goal of strengthening the tungsten industry

The 60-year development practice of China's tungsten industry proves that in the development of ideas, we must adhere to the system innovation as the main line, take the road of scale, intensification and professional development, further accelerate the innovation of systems, mechanisms and management systems, and integrate various resources. Form a synergy. Vigorously cultivate large-scale enterprise groups with international competitiveness and catch up with world-class enterprises. Support small and medium-sized enterprises to develop in the direction of specialization, and form a group of strong specialized production enterprises.

(5) Based on independent technological innovation, we can change resource advantages into economic advantages.

The history of China's tungsten industry's 60-year development proves that under the guidance of the scientific development concept, China's tungsten industry should control the total amount of tungsten products, promote industrial integration and restructuring, optimize the structure of tungsten products, eliminate low-level redundant construction, and eliminate backward production capacity. Promote industrial upgrading with independent innovation of science and technology, accelerate the development of deep-processing products, continuously improve the grade of products, comprehensively improve the level of technical equipment, and gradually build a sustainable industrial system with advanced technology, reasonable structure, significant benefits, environmental protection and resource conservation, and improve China. The overall competitiveness of the tungsten industry in the world.

On October 13, 2007, Premier Wen Jiabao of the State Council made an important instruction for the development of China's tungsten industry for a century of "adhering to the principle of protection and rational development and utilization to achieve sustainable development of the tungsten industry." Looking into the future, China's tungsten industry will seize the opportunity to meet the challenges and continue to work hard to achieve the goal of sustainable development of China's tungsten industry!
