The theme of tool technology development has traditionally been considered as a material, shape, and combination of effects. So far, the development of materials and shapes such as gradient functional materials and tool materials using metal whiskers has been rapidly developed, while tool materials represented by ultrafine particle and crystal control and wave cutting edges and large front angle chipbreakers The research and development of the tool shape represented has come to an end. The most recent focus is on coating technology. Due to the high price of materials, the development of tool materials that do not use rare metals has become an urgent need. In terms of market development, in addition to the development of basic performance such as machining efficiency and high precision, it also expands to processing applications such as small diameters and complex shapes, processing adaptability to new materials and composite materials, and the use of a tool. Multi-functioning of a variety of processing and the pursuit of combined processing effects and many other aspects. Compared with machine tools, due to the low unit price of the tool, in order to pursue mass production, it is necessary to improve the versatility of the product. At the same time, it must deal with each user's order with special purpose and specifications, and also seek to compete with competitors on the product. Different. In other words, the tool manufacturer must have comprehensive capabilities and specificity on the product. Research and development costs are difficult to meet the needs and there are also factors in this regard. In any case, to adapt to the harsh requirements of the market, we must continue to work hard, and users expect high expectations from tool manufacturers in this situation. No support for three times the high price The fourth question in the joint question is about the price increase of raw materials and its countermeasures. The question is “Is it expected to increase the price of the product due to the high price of raw materials?†The results found that the manufacturer who answered “no†was nearly twice as many as “answerâ€. The price of tool materials has risen significantly since around 2004. Rare metals such as tungsten, cobalt, and molybdenum have a small amount of storage, and the cost of mining and refining is also high. And not only tools, but also widely used in automotive, residential, electrical and electronic, aerospace and other industries, as well as high-tech fields such as superconducting materials, shape memory alloys, IT-related technologies and environmental protection, but also indispensable for the semiconductor industry. Raw materials. In particular, Japan is one of the world's largest consumers of rare metals, and it is expected that consumption will continue to grow in the future. The country of origin of rare metals is inherently limited, and supply is also unstable. In recent years, prices have remained high. The reason for the high price is that the balance between demand and supply has collapsed, including: the recovery of the world economy; the expansion of consumption brought about by China’s economic growth; the production of rare metals due to aging equipment and harsh working conditions. Low, workers strike, etc.; unstable psychological expectations for insufficient supply in the future; hoarding and selling for speculative purposes; and the interaction of various factors. The price increase of different metals is also different. Tungsten rose to 3.3 times in April-July 2005 due to increased demand from China, and prices are still high. In 2003-2004, the price of cobalt in Japan and China increased due to the increase in demand for secondary batteries, and the price surged slightly. It fluctuated at a level of 4,000 yen per kilogram. The price of abrasive materials increased by about 50% from 2005 to 2006. Nickel was in short supply due to the delay of the Canadian mine strike and the development of new mines in 2006, causing the intervention of speculators. The dissolution and nickel plating surged, and the current price is still Rising. In view of this situation, many tool manufacturers increased the price of the product in 2005, but now the price of raw materials continues to rise and maintain the high price level with the price level exceeding the price adjustment. Affected by this, the cost of the tool is high, and the profit margin is continuously compressed. Although the tool companies are striving to increase production efficiency and cut costs, there is a limit to the cost reduction, and the severe situation continues. If possible, you can raise the price of tool products as soon as possible to pass on the pressure of raw material price increases, but this approach is difficult to understand by tool users such as car manufacturers. "It is not the price of raw materials that can increase the price of the product to pass the price. Now we must be patient, and then make a comprehensive judgment after seeing the implementation status of the equipment investment in the automobile industry." This kind of voice is probably a common idea. The tool companies continue to work hard, and with the help of good luck, they have finally come over, but the situation of endurance and decisiveness is also present.
