Global oil prices continue to soar as governments have expressed concern


On July 18, 2006, at a gas station in Miami, USA, a woman was fueling her car. The expression of people outside the car seemed a bit helpless. As of Monday, the average price of regular gasoline in the U.S. market has risen to 2.989 U.S. gallons, which is about 67 cents more than the same period last year. According to the American Automobile Association's estimates, gasoline prices will soon break through $3 per gallon.

Despite the decline in international oil prices two days ago this week, it has remained at a high level. Sustained high oil prices continue to aggravate the unease among economic policy makers in various countries.

The South Korean government is concerned about the rise in global oil prices, but South Korea's economic growth this year will still reach the official forecast of 5%. As long as the external factors do not deteriorate, achieving the 5% growth goal is not a problem. There is no need to adjust South Korea’s economic growth forecasts based on global economic trends and domestic demand.

Kim Suk-Dong, Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Finance and Economy of the Republic of Korea, expressed concern about the soaring global oil prices on an interview on the radio on Wednesday.

It is hoped that global oil prices will no longer rise further, but the US imperialist fanaticism and other factors that disrupt world peace have already pushed the price of oil to 70 US dollars per barrel. I condemned the United States for intensifying geopolitical tensions in the context of high oil prices. I promise to divert any income from soaring oil prices to social and infrastructure development.

In a speech, Venezuelan President Chavez accused the United States of foreign policy pushing up oil prices.

The finance ministers are worried that the second round of price effect triggered by the transfer of energy costs may push up inflationary pressures. They are worried that companies are transmitting rising energy costs and may cause inflation.

Australian Finance Minister Costello’s office stated in an e-mail statement on the 19th that there is concern that energy prices may exacerbate inflation. The above statement is a response to an industry group's call for the introduction of a fuel tax in freight companies.



Blended Powder

A blended powder of tungsten carbide and Metal Alloy Powder can be used for laser cladding, a process used to deposit a layer of material onto a substrate using a laser beam. This blended powder is typically used as a feedstock material for laser cladding applications where high wear resistance and hardness are required.

Tungsten carbide is a hard and wear-resistant material that is commonly used in cutting tools, mining equipment, and other high-wear applications. It has excellent thermal conductivity and high melting point, making it suitable for laser cladding processes.

Metal alloy powders, on the other hand, are often added to the Tungsten Carbide Powder to enhance certain properties or tailor the characteristics of the final cladding layer. These metal alloys can include nickel, cobalt, chromium, or other elements, depending on the specific requirements of the application.

The blended powder is typically prepared by mixing the tungsten carbide and metal alloy powders in the desired ratio. This mixture is then fed into a laser cladding system, where it is melted using a high-power laser beam. The molten powder is rapidly solidified onto the substrate, forming a dense and wear-resistant cladding layer.

The resulting cladding layer can have excellent hardness, wear resistance, and thermal conductivity, making it suitable for various applications such as tooling, wear parts, and surface protection. The specific properties of the cladding layer can be adjusted by varying the composition and ratio of the tungsten carbide and metal alloy powders in the blend.

Overall, the blended powder of tungsten carbide and metal alloy powder offers a versatile and customizable solution for laser cladding applications, providing enhanced wear resistance, hardness, and other desired properties to the final cladding layer.
