Lubricants have the property of industrial consumables and need to be replenished, filled or replaced on a regular basis. Their demand is closely related to the development of China's industrial manufacturing industry. China is currently ranked second in the world as a major consumer of lubricants, and it is growing rapidly. Many international brands have entered the Chinese market because of China's huge market and vast development prospects. Shell , Mobil , bp, Castrol and other foreign first-line brands, relying on their technology and brand advantages, have formed a pattern that dominates the Chinese lubricants market. However, Kunlun, Great Wall, and other national brands have also become brands that consumers are keen to choose. Industry analysts pointed out that in 2000, China’s industrial added value was 401.359 billion yuan, and in 2012 it had reached 199.766 billion yuan. The development of industrial manufacturing has led to the continuous growth of the demand for lubricants in China. In 2000, the demand for lubricants in China was 3.444 million tons, which reached 6.8 million tons in 2011, hit a record high. Since then, the domestic industrial manufacturing industry has experienced a deepening downturn. The consumption demand of the lubricant industry as an economic barometer has declined significantly. In 2013, the demand for domestic lubricants fell to 5,814,800 tons. The domestic lubricants market is highly competitive. Before the 1990s, the production and sales of domestic lubricants were unified by the state, which was a monopoly market structure. With the advancement of the energy system reform, lubricating oil has become one of the petrochemical sub-industries that was liberalized earlier. Private lubricant companies have developed from scratch and from small to large, showing a good development trend. In 2013, the domestic market share reached 26 According to statistics, there are about 2,000 domestic large and small sized lubricant companies, with large numbers of small and medium-sized enterprises, small scale, and poor anti-risk capabilities. The price war has become a common competition method and the industry is highly competitive. At the same time, foreign oil companies have taken advantage of advanced technology and comprehensive strength to take an advantageous position in the competition, and the import and substitute tasks of local national lubricant companies are arduous. It has been shown that the construction of major projects identified in China's "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" will continue to drive rigid demand for industries such as construction machinery manufacturing, transportation, and logistics and transportation. The increase in domestic demand and basic construction investment will provide a huge consumer market for the lubricant industry. At the same time, the environment and potential of rigid demand for domestic automobiles are still in place, which will also greatly stimulate the demand for the automotive lubricant market. In the next 10 years, the demand for lubricants in the Asia Pacific region will reach 15.5 million tons, while China will account for 40% of the demand in the region. By 2020, the demand for lubricants in the Chinese market will double, and consumption will likely increase. More than the United States. Moreover, in the future development of the lubricant industry, it is in line with the development trend of energy-saving, high-efficiency, high-end internal combustion engine oils, and requires the constant research and use of high-performance base oils and high-quality additives in order to meet the development needs of high-quality internal combustion engines. Tungsten carbide thermal spray powder is a type of powder material that is used in thermal spray processes. It is composed of tungsten carbide particles, which are combined with a binder material to form a powder.

Thermal spraying is a coating process that involves heating the powder material to a molten or semi-molten state and then spraying it onto a surface to create a protective or functional coating. Tungsten carbide thermal spray powder is known for its hardness, wear resistance, and high melting point, making it suitable for applications where extreme wear or high temperatures are present.
The tungsten carbide particles in the powder provide the coating with excellent wear resistance, while the binder material helps to bind the particles together and adhere them to the surface. The powder can be sprayed using various thermal spray techniques, such as flame spraying, plasma spraying, or high-velocity oxy-fuel spraying.
Tungsten carbide thermal spray coatings are commonly used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, oil and gas, and mining, where components are exposed to harsh environments or abrasive conditions. These coatings can provide protection against wear, erosion, corrosion, and high temperatures, extending the lifespan of the coated components.
