Product
End-to-end tungsten materials
Integrated portfolio from ore to APT, tungsten oxides and ultra-fine powders serves toolmaking, energy and electronics markets. Tight particle-size control down to submicron (<1 µm), purity levels typically ≥99.95% and narrow PSD deliver consistent sintering performance. Backward integration secures supply and traceability in a market where China holds >80% of processing capacity, and application labs develop custom grades to OEM specs.
Cemented carbides and tooling blanks
Cemented carbides and tooling blanks offer a wide portfolio of WC-Co grades, rods, inserts and wear parts for machining, mining and oil & gas applications. Cobalt content is optimized typically between 3–15 wt% with grain sizes from about 0.2–3 µm to balance toughness and hardness. Near-net shapes and HIP processing reduce customer machining and scrap by enabling closer-to-final geometries. Coating-ready surfaces are prepared to align with downstream PVD and CVD processes.
Tungsten wires, bars, and refractory products
Xiamen Tungsten supplies high-melting-point products (tungsten mp 3422°C, density 19.25 g/cm3; molybdenum mp 2623°C) for lighting, semiconductor, furnace and aerospace sectors, offering doped wires, heavy alloy bars and molybdenum complements. The range emphasizes dimensional stability and thermal-shock resistance, supporting extreme-temperature service. Precision drawing and forging achieve micrometer-level diameter control and tight tolerances for critical applications.

Price
Index-linked pricing mechanisms
Contracts reference APT (market average ~USD 350/MTU in 2024) and relevant metal indices to manage volatility, with formulaic escalators and de-escalators (typically +/- tied to index moves) preserving fair pricing over time. Surcharges track energy, cobalt (around USD 55,000/tonne in 2024) and logistics swings, and transparent index-linking aids predictable budgeting for both parties.
Tiered pricing by grade and specs
Tiered pricing charges premiums—typically 20-40%—for ultra-fine powders, tight tolerances and specialty alloys to reflect higher production costs and yield control. Standard grades are positioned competitively, often 10-25% below premium tiers to capture volume applications. Clear breakpoints by particle size and spec simplify buyer decisions, while value-based pricing links premiums to quantified performance gains such as wear life or conductivity improvements.
Volume discounts and bundling
Volume rebates for aggregated multi-plant purchases and annual commitments typically range 2–5% in metals supply contracts, improving gross margins. Bundling tungsten, carbide and rare-earth lines can lower total procurement cost by 5–10% through consolidated pricing and logistics. Blanket orders cut administrative overheads by ~20–30% via fewer POs and simpler invoicing. Incentives are structured to reward stable, forecastable demand, reducing supply volatility.
Long-term contracts and hedging
Long-term multi-year agreements (typically 3–5 years) secure feedstock for Xiamen Tungsten and smooth revenue visibility, supporting customer capex-heavy programs in electronics and tooling supply chains. Optional hedging instruments and indexed pricing reduce exposure to volatile tungsten and cobalt markets, while take-or-pay clauses and floor/ceiling bands (commonly ±10–15%) balance supplier and buyer risk.
- Multi-year coverage: 3–5 years
- Hedging: optional indexed swaps/options
- Risk tools: take-or-pay; floor/ceiling ±10–15%
- Fit: aligns with capex-heavy customer programmes
Flexible terms and recycling credits
Xiamen Tungsten offers negotiable payment terms and supplier financing for strategic accounts, commonly extending 6–18 month credit lines to major buyers and tailored Incoterms (DDP, FOB, CIF) to match customer logistics and risk appetite. Scrap buyback and tolling credits lower net material costs—tungsten recycling yields exceed 95% recovery industry-wide—encouraging closed-loop sustainability and stronger customer loyalty.
- Negotiable 6–18m financing
- Incoterms: DDP/FOB/CIF
- Scrap buyback & tolling credits cut costs
- Recycling recovery >95% → closed-loop loyalty
Contracts link to APT and indices; premiums 20–40%, multi-year floors ±10–15%
Contracts link to APT (~USD 350/MTU in 2024) and indices; surcharges follow energy/cobalt (~USD 55,000/t in 2024). Premiums 20–40% for ultra‑fine/specialty, standard grades 10–25% lower; rebates 2–5% and bundling saves 5–10%. Terms: multi‑year 3–5y, floor/ceiling ±10–15%, financing 6–18m; recycling recovery >95%.
