In China market ,The proportion of HSS cutting tool is relatively large, and carbide alloy tool development rapidly .

The imported cutting tools accounted for 1/3 of the Chinese tools market .Most of them is alloy steel tools ,powder high speed steel ,low-alloy HSS.

In 2018,over 5.2 billions HSS cutting tools, there were nearly 3 billion export to US ,eu with low-price .Most of the item is low-alloy HSS household tools.

The tools imports of China increased from 13.9 billion RMB in 2017 to 14.8 billion RMB in 2018.

It is increase of 6.5% year on year and a record high for two consecutive years. As manufacturing upgrades improve the quality of cutting tools,the market structure for cutting tools continues to change.

At present, Cutting tools are mainly divided into high speed steel , ceramics and superhard materials .
