标题: Beikuang New Materials Breaks Ground in Huai'an on RMB 3.06 Billion Project for 7,500 Tons of Specialty Powders and 15,000 3D-Printed Products per Year [打印本页] 作者: admin 时间: 2026-11-12 10:35 标题: Beikuang New Materials Breaks Ground in Huai'an on RMB 3.06 Billion Project for 7,500 Tons of Specialty Powders and 15,000 3D-Printed Products per Year Nanjixiong's introduction: A new large-capacity metal-powder base backed by a central state-owned enterprise is being added to China's additive-manufacturing sector. Beikuang New Materials, part of China Minmetals, has started construction in Xuyi, Huai'an, Jiangsu, on a high-end metal-materials manufacturing base spanning 3D-printing spherical powders, refractory-metal powders, and electrodes for electrolytic hydrogen production—materials for which China has long relied on imports.
Nanjixiong learned that construction of the Ninghuai R&D and Intelligent Manufacturing Base for High-End Metal Materials began on the morning of November 6, 2026, in the Ninghuai Intelligent Manufacturing Industrial Park. The investment entity is Beikuang New Materials Technology Co., Ltd.; the local operating entity is Beikuang New Materials (Jiangsu) Technology Co., Ltd. Total investment is RMB 3.06 billion.

RMB 3.06 billion investment on a 317.57-mu site
Beikuang New Materials Technology is a wholly owned second-tier subsidiary of the central state-owned China Minmetals Group and a core company in its new-materials business. It is a national “Little Giant” specialized and sophisticated enterprise. The move to Xuyi expands its core production capacity beyond Beijing.
According to the Xuyi County government, the project covers 317.57 mu and will add about 235,000 m² of standard factory, R&D, and supporting buildings. The Ninghuai industrial park says it is one of the largest single manufacturing investments since the park was established. Public environmental-assessment and tender information indicates two phases. Phase I represents about RMB 989 million and includes buildings, powder-production and processing equipment, and quality-control equipment.
Three product lines: specialty powders, 3D-printed parts, and hydrogen-production electrodes
Once complete, the project is planned to produce annually:
- 7,500 tons of specialty powders for thermal spraying, laser cladding, and additive manufacturing;
- 15,000 3D-printed products;
- 2 million m² of electrodes for electrolytic hydrogen production.
Products will include thermal-spray and laser-cladding materials, high-end metal powders for AM, catalytic electrodes for electrolytic hydrogen production, and refractory metals. Applications include water electrolysis for hydrogen, additive manufacturing, photovoltaics, and advanced equipment.
Targeting spherical powders and refractory-metal powders that have relied on imports
According to the Xuyi County government, the company's catalytic electrodes for alkaline electrolyzers have passed tests at eight leading industry companies and show notable resistance to reverse-current shocks in green-electricity hydrogen production.
On the AM-materials side, spherical powders for 3D printing and high-purity refractory-metal powders are products that have long depended on imports. Downstream industries include aerospace, semiconductors, and photovoltaics. Once at full capacity, the project is expected to improve domestic control over these strategically important materials.
The project is a joint industrial-development initiative between Nanjing and Huai'an, following the Ninghuai industrial park's model of “R&D in Nanjing, production in Huai'an.” Xinhua News Agency's Jiangsu channel reported that the project went from contract signing to groundbreaking in about four months. A local task force coordinated land, environmental review, and energy-conservation approvals in parallel, and five permits were issued together before construction. The park plans to use the project as an anchor tenant and attract related companies in hydrogen-production electrodes, AM powders, and thermal-spray coatings.
