Environmental Impact Assessment of Jiangxi Youdao Precious Metals' 3,000-Ton Annual Precious Metal Scrap Recycling Project Enters Pre-Approval Public Notice
The environmental impact assessment report for Jiangxi Youdao Precious Metals' "Technical Upgrade and Renovation Project for Annual Recycling of 3,000 Tons of Precious Metal Scrap Resources" has entered the pre-approval public notice period (October 19–23, Wannian County, Shangrao). The product plan includes 64 tons of silver powder, 11 tons of platinum sponge, 11.8 tons of palladium sponge, and other precious metal powders such as rhodium powder and iridium powder. The standardization of precious metal recycling operations provides indirect support for the recovery and recycling of precious-metal-containing additive manufacturing powder waste.

Ganzhou Haisheng Tungsten Industry Co., Ltd. Tungsten Products Production Line Renovation and Expansion Project
Ganzhou Haisheng Tungsten Industry Co., Ltd. has filed a renovation and expansion project for its tungsten products production line in the South Zone of Shangyou Industrial Park, Jiangxi, with a total investment of RMB 1.5 billion, funded entirely by the company's own resources. The filing has been approved. The project expands capacity based on the existing output of tungsten powder, tungsten carbide powder, and tungsten bars, and adds a new tungsten wire product line. The filing date is October 2026.
The construction plan shows that the project covers approximately several dozen mu of land, with total floor area including production workshops, warehouses, and supporting office and ancillary buildings. Multiple intelligent production lines will be built, and hundreds of sets of tungsten product equipment will be upgraded and newly purchased. In terms of capacity planning, the three base products—tungsten powder, tungsten carbide powder, and tungsten bars—will all be further scaled up from their existing annual output levels, while tungsten wire will form new capacity measured in meters. The project is scheduled to start and complete across calendar years, with specific months not fully disclosed in the public filing.
Tungsten powder and tungsten carbide powder are upstream raw materials for cemented carbides, thermal spraying, and certain refractory metal powders used in metal additive manufacturing, while tungsten bars directly correspond to tungsten-based targets and high-temperature structural components. Haisheng Tungsten's expansion places intelligent production lines and equipment upgrades at its core, targeting systematic improvements in powder particle size consistency, oxygen content control, and batch stability—practically significant for the scale and quality tiering of domestic tungsten-based powder supply.
Value for powder buyers: ① Monitor the release pace of the project's new tungsten powder and tungsten carbide powder capacity and lock in medium- to long-term supply agreements in advance; ② Add tungsten wire, a new product category, to supplier evaluation lists and verify its specification range and delivery capability; ③ After equipment upgrades are completed, request updated particle size distribution and oxygen content test data to serve as the basis for incoming material acceptance.

Equipment Maintenance Mechanic
On October 18, 2026, Shaanxi Sirui Fufeng Advanced Copper Alloy Co., Ltd. posted an Equipment Maintenance Mechanic position on a recruitment platform, with the workplace located in the Baoji Fufeng County Electronic and Electrical Foreign Trade Industrial Park. The role's responsibilities are clearly defined as on-site repair of production equipment and handling of equipment abnormalities, with salary negotiable. The hiring entity is a wholly owned subsidiary of Shaanxi Sirui New Materials Co., Ltd. (stock code: 688102), established in 2019 with registered capital of RMB 400 million, covering about 55,000 square meters and currently employing more than 300 people.
The company operates three major business divisions—Special Materials, Wire and Bar, and Metal Chromium—focusing on high-performance copper alloy materials and high-performance metal powders. Its products include chromium-zirconium-copper and copper-iron ingots, strips, castings, profiles, bars and wires, and powders. Its core technologies include vacuum atomization powder production, vacuum induction melting and casting, vacuum precision casting, and vacuum horizontal continuous casting. The first phase of its industrialization project with an annual output of 40,000 tons of copper-iron and chromium-zirconium-copper alloy materials has been completed, forming a production capacity of 20,000 tons of high-performance copper alloy products, supported by machining, forging, hot pressing, rolling, drawing, and heat treatment lines.
This recruitment of an equipment maintenance mechanic is aimed at ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the vacuum atomization powder production line and its supporting lines. For the metal additive manufacturing supply chain, the batch consistency and capacity ramp-up of copper alloy powders depend heavily on equipment maintenance. The addition of this mechanic position indicates that the company is strengthening production line operation and maintenance capabilities on top of its 20,000-ton capacity, providing support for stable delivery of powder products.
Value to powder buyers: ① Pay attention to the supplier's equipment maintenance investment in its vacuum atomization powder production line, as equipment stability directly affects powder batch consistency; ② Chromium-zirconium-copper and copper-iron powder categories can be included in price comparisons as alternative supply sources for copper-based additive manufacturing; ③ Given the pace of its 20,000-ton capacity release, lock in medium- and long-term powder purchase volumes in advance to capture favorable pricing windows.
