【SMM Stainless Steel Market】Walsin Lihwa Enters AI Supply Chain; Captures 50% Share in China's Server Market

Published: Dec 18, 2025 00:02
Taiwan's Walsin Lihwa has successfully integrated into the booming AI server sector, with its cold-finished stainless steel bars now supplying China's AI server supply chain and capturing a 50% market share. These bars are essential components for quick-disconnect couplings in liquid cooling systems—for instance, a single GB300 cabinet requires 276 such units. While the automotive industry remains a primary consumer, the company expects rapid production growth driven by the increasing adoption of liquid cooling for high-power chips.

【SMM Flash News】Philippines Temporarily Reverts to Euro-II Fuel to Combat Energy Crisis
Faced with a severe energy supply crunch and skyrocketing prices triggered by the Middle East conflict, the Philippine Department of Energy has authorized the temporary use of "dirtier" Euro-II petroleum products, which contain ten times more sulfur than the current Euro-IV standard, specifically for older vehicles, industrial plants, and the shipping sector. This emergency measure follows diesel prices breaching 100 pesos per liter for the first time, a crisis exacerbated by the country's limited refining capacity and the 1998 Oil Deregulation Law. As the region grapples with the obstruction of the Strait of Hormuz, the Philippines joins neighbors like Vietnam and Thailand in pivoting back to high-emission fuels and coal to ensure domestic energy security amidst the global turmoil.
