Izintengo ze-tungsten powder, ammonium metatungstate(APT) kanye ne-ferro tungsten e-China bezilokhu zikhuphuka ngesonto eliphele ngoLwesihlanu zingama-27 Septemba 2019 ekupheleni kwendali yesitoko se-Fanya nezintengo zomhlahlandlela oqinile ezivela ezinkampanini ezisohlwini ze-tungsten.

Besekelwa ukuqiniswa kokutholakala kwezinto ezingavuthiwe kanye nezindleko zokukhiqiza eziphezulu, abakhiqizi bempahla eluhlaza babemanqikanqika ukuthengisa imikhiqizo yabo futhi bakhuphule amanani.Amafekthri ancibilikisayo andayo ayeke ukukhiqiza noma anciphisa ukukhiqiza njengoba kusondela iholide loSuku Lwesizwe.Ngenxa yalokho, ukuhlinzekwa kwe-APT kwaqina kakhulu futhi ezinye izintengo zephule izinga lika-$239.70/mtu, kodwa ukuthengiselana kwangempela kwakungavamile ukuqedwa.Ngemakethe yempuphu ye-tungsten, intengo ikhuphuke yafinyelela ku-$30.3/kg.Izinkampani ze-downstream alloy kwakunzima ukuhlela ukukhiqizwa futhi zenza izinhlinzeko.Ngokuyinhloko bahlala benomqondo oqaphile.
