In the aircraft manufacturing workshop, as the high-pressure coolant precisely sprays onto the cutting tip, the tangled and difficult-to-handle titanium alloy chips are easily controlled, and the tool life has quietly increased by 50%.

The export control by the United States on key technologies such as high-end numerical control systems and precision measuring instruments has put domestic tool enterprises in a "choke point" predicament in terms of research and development upgrades. A leading enterprise's R&D director disclosed that the restricted imports of high-end coating technologies and super-hard materials have directly affected the improvement of product performance, and there is a risk of the gap with the international leading level widening.

The industrial automation world is quietly undergoing a transformation, with a series of innovative technologies reshaping the face of future factories. In today's industrial automation field, a technological revolution centered on intelligence, greenness, and efficiency is unfolding in full swing.

Tungsten, known as the "industrial teeth", has become an irreplaceable strategic core material in modern industry due to its extremely high melting point of 3410℃, high density of 19.3g/cm³, and excellent wear and corrosion resistance. From the cutting of photovoltaic silicon wafers to the core of military armor-piercing projectiles, from the manufacturing of semiconductor chips to the components of nuclear fusion reactors, the application of tungsten is deeply bound to high-end manufacturing and national defense security. The resonance formed by its rare attribute, rigid demand and policy regulation is driving this strategic metal to enter a counter-trend price increase channel under strict control.

On the production line, robotic arms nimbly move, almost independently completing tasks from body welding to final assembly; intelligent sensors precisely capture product images, and AI vision systems instantly determine defects; AGV carts shuttle in an orderly manner, automatically handling material transportation and distribution. This is not an imagined scene of a future factory, but a daily picture of the intelligent transformation of China's manufacturing industry. With the rapid development of new technologies such as artificial intelligence, China's intelligent manufacturing is advancing from single-point applications to a comprehensive ecological upgrade.

Hard alloy cutting tools are whirring in CNC machining centers, while the price of tungsten, the raw material needed to manufacture them, is soaring. According to industry feedback, with tungsten powder and tungsten carbide powder prices rising rapidly, by September 2025, the gross profit margins of many small and medium-sized processing enterprises have dropped to around 10%. This storm of raw material price hikes is sweeping through the entire CNC cutting tool industry, forcing enterprises to reposition themselves in a brutal reshuffle.
