The "Polishing Agents" Behind the New Energy Industry

2025-02-19 94

Against the backdrop of explosive global growth in the new energy sector, metal abrasives—as critical consumables in high-end manufacturing chains—are quietly driving precision advancements in wind power, photovoltaics, and new energy vehicles. According to statistics, China's new energy equipment manufacturing industry surpassed 7.5 trillion RMB in 2024, with metal surface treatment demand surging 32% year-on-year, further highlighting the application value of metal abrasives.



Scenario Innovation: Precision Adaptation to New Energy Needs

•Wind Power: High-hardness steel shots for weld cleaning on turbine towers improve anti-corrosion performance, boosting single-unit processing efficiency by 40%;

•Lithium Battery Manufacturing: Micron-grade stainless steel sand roughens electrode current collector surfaces, enhancing conductivity by 15%-20%;

•PV Mounts: Eco-friendly aluminum-based abrasives enable rust removal for lightweight components without damage, extending outdoor service life to over 25 years.

 

Technological Breakthrough: From "Rough Processing" to "Smart Manufacturing Standard"

 As precision requirements for new energy equipment escalate, metal abrasives are evolving toward customization. For instance, amorphous alloy abrasives developed for hydrogen fuel cell bipolar plates can control surface roughness below Ra0.1μm, significantly reducing hydrogen permeation risks.

 

Green Transformation: Syncing with Carbon Neutrality

 Leading enterprises now achieve 90% abrasive recycling rates. Combined with biodegradable rust inhibitors, single production lines reduce hazardous waste emissions by over 300 tons annually. Under pressure from EU carbon tariffs, low-carbon abrasives have become a new leverage point for export-oriented enterprises to break trade barriers.

Currently, the new energy industry is fueling a trillion-level metal surface treatment market with an annual growth rate of 18%. For Yafeite, with 19 years of expertise in this field, seizing opportunities in material modification innovation and equipment upgrades will enable sustained delivery of satisfactory products to global clients.
