American fighter F-35 will remain without rare earth materials

168

China intends to stop the supply of resources, including rare earth metals, necessary for the production activities of the American corporation Lockheed Martin. This step can cause stagnation. aviation United States industries.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said on Tuesday that China had decided to impose sanctions on Lockheed Martin. The reason indicated armory Washington’s deal with Taiwan, which includes, inter alia, the maintenance of PAC-3 anti-aircraft missiles, which the said company produces.



As the Chinese publication Global Times points out, the design of many key Lockheed Martin products, including F-35 fighters and Patriot missiles, is based on rare-earth materials. At the same time, the world leader in their imports to the United States is China, which occupies 80% of the US market. According to the publication, the Chinese authorities intend to "cut off" all the business ties of business with Lockheed Martin, completely excluding the corporation from the supply chain.

China-related component manufacturers and system developers may also be prosecuted for doing business with Lockheed Martin under sanctions

        In fact, the United States does not suffer from the absence of rare-earth metals - they just turned off their production due to the complexity and environmental hazard, though squeezing them out of the dumps a little! There are India and Australia, so a little change of partner ... but China may lose the largest market! However, if China or, especially, the United States has problems, I will not grieve at all ... laughing

          China is the largest producer and supplier of rare earth metals in the world. There isn’t enough word for mattresses in India, Australia and so on. And rare-earth metals are not only used in the aircraft industry without them. As much as sclerosis doesn’t matter to me, even in the production of mobile phones they have a place to be.

            Theoretically, something can be replaced somewhere. But expensive and troublesome.
            Even the elimination of the Turks from the production of F-35 did not go smoothly.
            It is not clear how China will track shipments to Lockheed Martin.
            The US provides its sanctions with the control of all dollar transfers.
            Although, once the Chinese announced these sanctions, it means they had prepared in advance.
            But the very fact of such a serious response causes respect for China.
            For many reasons. hi

            As far as you can estimate offhand - a blow to the States is very serious.
            Chinese authorities intend to "cut off" all business ties with Lockheed Martin, completely excluding the corporation from the supply chain.

            In fact ALL Lockheed Martin suppliers are sanctioned.
            There are hundreds, if not thousands. This is Japan, and Europe, etc., etc.
            The states worried that instead of their "space" microcircuits they were slipping Chinese ones.
            Now it turns out that ALL chip manufacturers in the United States (and not only Taiwan, for example, will also get it) must guarantee that Lockheed Martin will not receive their products ??? bully
            5G goodbye? Space Internet?
            Replacing in such an amount and for the same money - just do not find it quickly. And then there's Covid ...

                  “So far, everything is sad for the hegemon.”
                  In fact, the congress had long foreseen such a situation and began to prepare.
                  Article for April 2020.
                  “Does the US need China for rare earth minerals?” Not for long, thanks to this grief ”
                  https://www.forbes.com/sites/jimvinoski/2020/04/07/the-us-needs-china-for-rare-earth-minerals-not-for-long-thanks-to-this-mountain/#53fed63a28b9
                  “The COVID-19 crisis exposed a number of negatives from the Chinese repressive regime. There have already been many complaints before the pandemic, but the coronavirus seems to increase pressure on American companies to reduce their dependence on Chinese resources ”....
                  “In that case, it’s an amazing fortune that in the barren plateau of the Far West, Texas, 85 miles east of El Paso, a modest mountain 1250 meters high called the Round Top promises to make America pretty much self-sufficient in these critical minerals. The mountain contains five of six light rare earth elements (such as neodymium), 10 of 11 heavy rare earth elements (such as dysprosium) and all five materials with permanent magnets. Moreover, Round Top has large lithium reserves, which is very important for batteries in electric vehicles and energy storage. ”

                  Here is the info from the article for May 2020:
                  https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2020/05/26/2038432/0/en/USA-Rare-Earth-Successfully-Completes-Phase-I-Rare-Earth-Separation-and-Processing-Test-Work.html
                  The extraction of REE is carried out according to super-modern technology (those who know chemistry and English can read it themselves in this article and maybe tell us). Preliminary tests of this technology have been carried out and “..this important stage demonstrates the ability to load and concentrate rare earth elements (REE) in the presence of high concentrations of non-REE, including other important minerals such as lithium. REE concentrations increased by more than six times with a corresponding decrease in the amount of impurities. A weak acid wash showed enhanced separation of REE from non-REE. ”
                  “This is an important step towards Rare Earth’s US goal of building the first rare earth and critical mineral processing plant outside of China and bringing the Round Top project to full commercial production,” said Pini Altaus, U.S. CEO of Rare Earth. “Our Colorado pilot plant will be capable of producing the full range of high purity, single rare earth elements, as well as other important minerals such as lithium.”
                  So you see, not everything is as sad as some would like.

                  Countries for the extraction of rare earth metals (in Meter.Tons):
                  China Mine production: 132,000 MT.
                  United States Mine production: 26,000 MT.

            At one time, China had already stopped supplying rare earths to Japan. Japanese industry has not collapsed. They began to recycle old electronics and extract from it. And they still work. Again this is a very specific product. Far from mass consumption. There are not many factories in the world where they are required. (the same processes are done by 3-4 enterprises in the world, namely physical production, not development) And where will the Chinese put their product. It will go according to gray schemes. Well, not wagons. There, the bill goes to kilograms.

            There are about 100 thousand tons of these metals on the market, China - 80 percent, that is, not Chinese 20 thousand tons.

We at Iturup, which the yapps, the richest reserves of rhenium really want, can grab more than a third of world production, they just extract tears, well, it doesn’t work anymore, it’s hard and expensive, and everywhere, in China there is a developed extractive industry for rare earths, therefore leaders in production and sale, the rest have it too, but there is no such production, here at least 100 times more rare earths will go up in price, and for 3-5 years production cannot be accelerated

        The funny thing is that the United States scares China by banning the use of its technology, but the truth is that American corporations have not focused solely on the United States for a long time, as I read an article from Japanese sources that all business leaves China, American corporations curtail production and this Japanese publication turned to these corporations to giants to comment on this situation, some said that the information was untrue, others that they did not plan to leave the Chinese market, and others simply left the request unanswered (I don’t remember the name of the corporation, but that’s not the point ) and the fact that for the sake of profit and a huge market (in the long term) of sales, no one wants to leave China, Chinese companies will leave in their place and these American corporations will be given a black mark. Therefore, large corporations have long become global and focus only on their interests. Meanwhile, investors are investing more and more in China and foreign companies are opening new production in China:

        "15.07.2020/07/06 XNUMX:XNUMX
        The company is a developer of semiconductor manufacturing equipment ACM Research, Inc. (ACMR, NASDAQ) announced the opening of a pilot production in China. Thus, forecasts of the company's entry into a large market are justified, and ACM Research can become a leader in its semiconductor market segment.

        In July, Ffin.ru already spoke about the growth of ACM Research stock quotes and the company's prospects in the Chinese market. The company has a popular technology for cleaning silicon wafers, which reduces the amount of marriage and thereby increases the profitability of the production of the most expensive parts of electronics. China is a leader in semiconductor production and a major business expansion for ACM Research.

        Last week, ACM Research announced the start of construction through its subsidiary ACM Shanghai of a research and development facility in the Lingang Free Trade Zone, China. The production facility will be located several tens of kilometers from the Chinese headquarters of ACM Shanghai. "

            Withdrawing production in the USA is very expensive and very few companies will decide + it’s not known for what they’re doing, they will open a production line and it’s kind of like in the USA but in fact most of the production will be in China, this option is also possible.

            Without foreign machine tools, China simply cannot make crystals, at least the ones it does now, a la FinFET.
            On their technology, they are unlikely to go further than us, so 65-nm at best. And then the question is what kind of crystal will be and what kind of core, with full architecture.
            I’m silent about the memory. They just want to start making DRAM themselves, but how it comes out is not known.

      One of the factors for increasing the contract value is the risks associated with it, and here the risks are associated not so much with a specific contract, but in general for the entire business of Lockhead's partner companies. Those. contract for 50 million, and under a possible blow activity of 50 billion.

      If there are partners who work with China, then the Lockhead price tag will be bullied, the use of intermediary firms will be required, and such schemes for Lockhead’s military orders are not good. Again, prices for projects approved by the Pentagon.

      These sanctions are commercial in nature. How tough will time show, how fundamentally China will act.

      In any case, the US-China confrontation has reached a new level.

      You are on the right path, comrades Chinese. Let the "chosen ones" themselves rummage in the bowels of American soil in search of rare earth metals. I wonder how much this flying slag will cost?

      unlike us, China has something to press on the pain points of the striped. And in response to sanctions, we can only open our mouths languidly, expressing concern. Even the deliveries of the RD-180 did not cut off at one time .. However, the selfish interest of our rulers is above all

      It is necessary to teach striped manenko to the mind, otherwise their policies will slowly begin to go crazy. Very much their pride stuck with its exclusivity, that is why they should be excluded from world production, maybe they will grow wiser.

      And all together rushed to bury the "Matrasia", drowning from the "fatal" Chinese blow.
      In fact, nothing "fatal" will happen. Firstly, economic sanctions against one company can be easily circumvented through third countries, although you will have to spend a little.
      Second, China has been "training" consumers since 2009, introducing quotas, reducing production, nationalizing producers, and the like. For information, China possesses approximately 37% of the world's rare earths reserves.
      Therefore, it has been ten years since the Chinese monopoly has been preparing an alternative and investing decent amounts in this matter. The same American NioCorp Development Ltd over the past few years has invested in the resumption of niobium, scandium and titanium production at its site in Elk Creek and a half billion dollars.
      So, of course, there will be losses. But they will not be "fatal" for sure.

        The United States can do it the other way - just buy up controlling stocks of rare earth mining companies around the world, thereby ensuring uninterrupted supplies of rare earths.

      China would stop the supply of contract components, which more than once were found in Amer fighter jets, to stop ... The effect would be many times more

      In fact, the United States does not suffer from the absence of rare-earth metals - they just turned off their production due to the complexity and environmental hazard, though squeezing them out of the dumps a little! There are India and Australia, so a little change of partner ... but China may lose the largest market! However, if China or, especially, the United States has problems, I will not grieve at all ... laughing

      Nothing will change, the United States will buy through the proxy a la Belarusian crabs, but in the course of time they will find another supplier and begin to mine more at home.
