[SMM Survey: Henan Dewei Technology Co., Ltd. Takes the Lead in the Global Magnesium Alloy Wheel Hub Mass Production Track with Core Technology] In July 2026, the R&D team of Henan Dewei Technology Co., Ltd. is fully advancing the quality inspection and final factory review of magnesium alloy wheel hubs to be exported to Ford in the US. The enterprise holds China's only patent for the core forging process of magnesium alloy wheel hubs, possesses a globally scarce mass production line, and leads the industry in mass production technology. Currently, its products have passed certifications from multiple high-end automakers such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Porsche, making it the only magnesium alloy wheel hub enterprise in China capable of mass supply to high-end automakers. This technological breakthrough has broken the overseas technology monopoly, filled the gaps in China's automotive lightweight parts industry, and significantly enhanced the international competitiveness of domestic auto parts.

On July 6, 2026, the technology team at Henan Dewei Stock Technology Co., Ltd. focused on quality control for export orders, conducting core performance tests such as bending fatigue on the second batch of magnesium alloy wheel hubs supplied to US Ford. At the same time, they completed the final pre-shipment inspection of the first batch of coated wheel hubs, strictly ensuring the quality of export products. As a global leader in the mass production of magnesium alloy automotive wheel hubs, the company boasts strong technical strength, has independently developed and holds the exclusive domestic patent for the "magnesium alloy automotive wheel hub one-time forward-reverse forging process," and possesses the only two mass production lines for magnesium alloy wheel hubs in the world, with its mass production technology at an industry-leading level.

Through deep technical cultivation and product iteration, as of 2026, the company's products have successfully obtained certifications from international high-end automakers such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Porsche, making it the only domestic producer capable of batch supplying magnesium alloy wheel hubs to high-end automakers. This independent breakthrough in core technology not only completely broke the long-standing overseas technological monopoly and effectively addressed the development shortfall in China's automotive lightweight parts industry, but also further strengthened the core competitiveness of domestic automotive parts in the global market, driving China's automotive lightweight industry toward a new stage of high-end and international development.

China's Magnesium Market Retreats after Rapid Rise, Foreign Trade Transactions Remain Weak [SMM Magnesium Weekly Review]

[SMM Weekly Magnesium Review: China Magnesium Market Retreats After Rapid Rise; Foreign Trade Remains Sluggish] This week, the magnesium ingot market in the main producing areas retreated after a rapid rise. At the beginning of the week, maintenance provided support to quotations, but downstream high inventory and fear of high prices suppressed transactions. Some producers offered discounts to sell, and magnesium prices weakened under pressure. Tianjin port FOB prices followed the decline of domestic EXW prices passively. Outside China, summer break led to weak demand, and high ocean freight rates suppressed transactions. Dolomite prices remained stable, with limited cost support. Magnesium powder and magnesium alloy followed magnesium ingot by falling first and then stabilizing. Downstream steel mill desulfurization, titanium sponge, and die-casting enterprises entered the off-season, with sluggish transactions. The oversupply pattern remained unchanged. In the short term, the magnesium market is expected to continue moving sideways.
