Wire is a wire welding material used either as filler metal or as an electrical conductor. In gas welding and tungsten gas shielded arc welding, welding wire used as filler metal; In submerged arc welding, esG welding and other GAS shielded arc welding, the welding wire is both a filler metal and a conductive electrode. The surface of the welding wire is not coated with anti-oxidation flux. Aluminum welding wire refers to aluminum alloy or pure aluminum as the material of the welding wire, this wire has good welding characteristics.
There are many enterprises in the aluminum welding wire industry in China, but most of them are small in scale and lack of investment in technological research and development. As a result, the technological level of the aluminum welding wire industry in China is lower than that in Europe and the United States. The enterprises mainly compete in the middle and low-end market and the supply of high-end products is insufficient. Aluminum alloy welding wires in rail transit, aviation, shipbuilding, new energy vehicles and other industries with higher welding requirements mainly rely on imports. Larger jiangmen ChengRui welding materials technology co., LTD., zhengzhou city shipping magnate welding material co., LTD., Shanghai Mick welding material co., LTD., etc., some small and medium-sized enterprises with good market prospects, have also entered the aluminium welding wire industry, but on the whole, China's aluminium welding wire industry focus more on low-end products, especially the commonly used ones are low-end products, There are many enterprises with production capacity, large capacity and output, relatively transparent price and fierce competition in the industry. According to the "2020-2025 Aluminum welding Wire Industry Market In-depth Research and Pre-investment Forecast analysis report" released by Siworld, in 2019, China's aluminum welding wire output was 323,000 tons, with an average price of 31,000 yuan/ton, which is far lower than the products of international leading enterprises.
In the field of high-end aluminum welding wire, limited by technical level, processing technology, material and other aspects, few enterprises in China can produce products. Especially in the aerospace, military and other special fields of special aluminum welding wire, basically rely on imported foreign products to meet domestic demand. Although the added value of high-end products is high, the industry competition of high-end aluminum welding wire products is relatively moderate because there are few enterprises that can actually produce products.
Siworld industry analysts said that in the future, the competition pattern of China's aluminum welding wire industry may change. On the one hand, with the further intensifier of low-end aluminum welding wire market competition, some small and medium-sized enterprises with weak technology and financial strength will be gradually eliminated; On the other hand, the output and market share will gather to the large enterprises with strong technical strength, large scale and perfect marketing channels, thus forming the industry leading enterprises and leading the distribution of aluminum welding wire industry. Attracted by high-end products, large and medium-sized enterprises with strong technical strength in China will strengthen technological breakthroughs, develop high-end and special aluminum welding wire products, enter the high-end market, and compete with international well-known manufacturers.
