2. Three things to consider for procurement and engineers
1. Praseodymium neodymium is not cheap, but it has not reached the condition of "waiting for price reduction".The praseodymium neodymium oxide station has a price of 740000 yuan/ton, and the metal praseodymium neodymium is close to 897000 yuan/ton. The consignee has a weak willingness to ship at low prices. When calculating BOM for procurement, if we continue to use the average price in September, the quotation will be too loose; When engineers conduct cost sensitivity analysis, it is recommended to adjust the fluctuation range of praseodymium neodymium to ± 3%.
The pain point of high-grade magnetic steel is not in praseodymium neodymium, but in the amount of heavy rare earth added.In the unit price of SH/UH/EH grades, dysprosium and terbium have a high weight. The same nominal 45SH, one using traditional high dysprosium formula and the other using grain boundary diffusion, may only differ by 3-5% in factory kg price, but the high-temperature demagnetization curve, batch consistency, weldability, and coating yield may not necessarily be in the same range. When comparing prices, it is necessary to consider both the "unit magnetic weight rare earth cost" and the "coercive force margin under temperature rise conditions".
3. Delivery risk is often underestimated.The current market is characterized by "hard quotes, low actual orders, and recovering inquiries". For procurement, the real risk is not that the price is 2000 yuan/ton today, but that the production line schedule has already been occupied when the project enters trial production, and if additional orders are placed, either the delivery date will be postponed or high priced spot goods will be used. The earlier an engineer sets the working temperature, air gap, and demagnetization resistance margin, the easier it is for procurement to achieve stable production scheduling.
III. Selection and Procurement Actions
🔧
🔧
🔧 New project prototype:Send the number of motor poles, air gap, maximum operating temperature, and whether to start with variable frequency to the factory. Hesheng Magnetic Mining can deduce the grade according to the magnetic circuit, reducing the waste of heavy rare earths caused by "choosing high-end grades for insurance".
