CME Group announced that the first Alumina FOB Australia (Platts) Futures contracts were traded on Tuesday, Oct. 25, 2016. A total of 60 futures contracts, equivalent to 6,000 metric tons, were traded across the January through June 2017 contract months.
In recent years, silicon carbide is widely used in microelectronics devices and micro-electromechanical devices because of its superior physical properties such as high heat conductivity, chemical inertness, hardness and wear resistance.
The group has two main areas of activity: coated abrasives for the furniture industry (Ikea is one of the group’s most prominent partners) and the automotive sector, where its customers are just as prestigious (Renault/Nissan), besides concealed and screw
According to the report, scientists from Russia, France, Sweden and Greece have developed a industrial technology to purify grapheme. This new method can make graphene more stable, and the latest findings can help to better purify graphene.
China’s alumina import volumes, which have been relatively low during the nine months to September, are expected to swell significantly during the months of October and November, industry sources said.
Silicon carbide is considered to be the one of the most important elements for the development of modern semiconductor devices. Importance of SiC in semiconductor has increased mainly due to the demand from applications such as automotive.
A Chinese investor who plans to invest through PT Shaanxi Youser Indonesia is ready to build an alumina smelter in East Kotawaringin district, Central Kalimantan, at a cost of Rp16 trillion.
India and Australia were the main global suppliers of natural abrasives in 2015, with a combined share of 56% of global exports. Export from these countries grew at rapid paces of +8.4% per year and +9.4% per year, respectively, from 2007 to 2015.
New work from a team led by Carnegie's Alexander Goncharov has created a new extremely incompressible carbon nitride compound. They say it could be the prototype for a whole new family of superhard materials.
Silicon Carbide is a synthetically manufactured chemical compound of silicon and carbon. It is strong, oxidation resistant, thermal shock resistant, and chemical resistant. It is characterized by low density, low thermal expansion, etc.
According to survey data, we can learn that domestic alumina production was 4.943 million tons in September, with 4.79% year-on-year growth, and 0.66% decline from a month earlier.
He blames the tool he used to sharpen the picks, which is a stone that apparently included traces of harder metals. The presence of aluminum oxide and silicon carbide has increased the levels of hardness of the picks used.
The latest reports suggest that by 2020, the compound annual growth rate of global high purity alumina market will reach 27.11%. In the next five years (2016-2020), LED lighting system and the growth of display devices will promote the market development
China’s alumina output rising 7.83% year-on-year to 5.3 million tonnes, citing incentive to produce from rising alumina prices. SMM learned alumina producers in Shandong have begun resuming production and Chalco (Shanxi) has also restarted production.
Making power electronics smaller, stronger and faster, Silicon carbide is a compound of silicon and carbon. It is produced using a crystal growth process of sublimation and exposure to high temperatures of about 2,000°C.
SiC -- Cutting-Edge Semiconductors for Power Management / Increased Efficiency and Improved Performance in Power Electronics / ROHM Is a Proud Sponsor and Official Technology Partner of the Venturi Formula E Team
It was first discovered in an attempt to produce artificial diamonds, but now researchers have found that silicon carbide (SiC) can actually replace silica that is currently used throughout the solar industry.
A second South China smelter reported hearing a trade done at Yuan 2,040/mt cash ex-works Guangxi Thursday. The deal was not confirmed, but he said it was likely concluded on prevailing strong market sentiment.
Researchers in the US have created a high-voltage, high-frequency silicon carbide power switch that could cost about half as much as conventional HV SiC power switches.They say that their device could help to cuts the costs and boost the performance.
According to customs statistics, China's alumina imports were about 129000 tons in August, which fell by 41% from last month, and decreased by 68.3% on year-on-year basis. From January to August, China's alumina imports were 2.027 million tons.
