Jiangsu Mengda New Material Technology Co., Ltd. has commissioned six high-end material production lines in Jiangsu, with planned combined capacity of 8,500 t/y for FeNi and FeNiMo, FeSiAl, and carbonyl iron powders. The first phase of its new industrial base, about 30,000 m², is now operational. The magnetic powder company, founded more than 20 years ago, is shifting its product focus from conventional magnetic powders to high-performance soft magnetic materials. High-end categories currently account for about 30–40% of its revenue, with a target of 60–70% within the next 2–3 years.
On technical metrics, Mengda can already mass-produce ultra-fine FeNi powder with D50 of 5–8 μm. Some products from the new lines are controlled to oxygen contents of 200–400 ppm, and below 200 ppm under specific conditions. Data disclosed for its second-generation coating technology show initial insulation resistance above 20 GΩ, maintained above 10 GΩ after baking and reflow soldering, and a 10–20% improvement in DC-Bias. The company lists oxygen content, sphericity, and batch-to-batch consistency as its core control points and expects utilization of the relevant lines to reach about 80% in 2026.
The industrial significance of this expansion round is that, with AI power supplies simultaneously demanding high current, high frequency, and low-profile designs, FeNi powder is entering loss-sensitive applications such as GPU power delivery thanks to its combination of high saturation and low loss, while FeSiCr continues to cover price-sensitive mainstream products. For the metal powder supply chain, the focus of competition has shifted from "whether powder can be made" to mass-production control of oxygen content and batch consistency at ultra-fine particle sizes, as well as retention of coating performance after reflow soldering and high-current bias.
Value for powder buyers: ① Pay attention to batch particle-size distribution and oxygen content data for 5–8 μm FeNi powder, using 200–400 ppm as a reference line for incoming-material validation; ② Include post-reflow insulation resistance and DC-Bias in the evaluation of coated powders, rather than looking only at initial impedance; ③ Given Mengda's expectation of 80% line utilization in 2026, secure high-end category supply in advance, and track the pace at which its AI-related products move from sample delivery to volume supply.

江苏萌达投用6条高端产线,软磁粉产能合计8500吨/年
江苏萌达新材料科技有限公司在江苏投用6条高端材料产线,规划铁镍及铁镍钼、铁硅铝、羰基铁粉合计产能8500吨/年,新工业基地一期约3万平方米已启用。这家成立20余年的磁粉企业正把产品重心从传统磁粉转向高性能软磁材料,高端品类目前约占其收入的30%—40%,目标是在未来2—3年提升至60%—70%。
技术指标上,萌达已可量产D50 5—8μm的超细铁镍粉,新产线部分产品氧含量控制在200—400ppm,特定条件下低于200ppm;第二代包覆技术披露的数据为初始绝缘阻抗20GΩ以上、烘烤及回流焊后仍保持10GΩ以上、DC-Bias提升10%—20%。公司把氧含量、球形度和批次稳定性列为核心控制点,并预计2026年相关产线利用率达到80%左右。
这轮扩产的产业含义在于,AI电源的大电流、高频、低矮化同时出现后,铁镍粉凭借高饱和与低损耗的组合进入GPU供电等对损耗敏感的场景,而铁硅铬仍覆盖价格敏感的主流产品。对金属粉末产业链而言,竞争焦点已从“能否制粉”转向超细粒径下氧含量与批次一致性的量产控制,以及包覆层在回流焊和大电流偏置后的性能留存。
对粉末采购商的价值:① 关注5—8μm铁镍粉的批次粒径分布与氧含量数据,把200—400ppm作为来料验证的参考线;② 将回流焊后绝缘阻抗与DC-Bias纳入包覆粉的评估项,而不只看初始阻抗;③ 结合萌达2026年80%产线利用率的预期提前锁定高端品类供应,并跟进其AI相关产品由送样转批量供货的节奏。
