The Spirit of Qixi: A Timeless Oriental Romance of Connection by Threads Under the vast, star-strewn Milky Way, the magpie bridge brings together lovers separated by distance. Qixi Festival embodies the romantic spirit deeply rooted in Chinese culture — the age-old saying "a thousand-mile romance is tied by a single thread" captures perfectly how a delicate thread can bridge distances and bind beautiful connections. For thousands of years, the "thread" has always been a symbol of heartfelt connection in Eastern culture. It may be the red string of fate held by the Old Man Under the Moon, crossing mountains and seas to unite two souls; it may be the stitches sewn into a wanderer’s clothes, carrying family affection across miles. Slender yet resilient, soft yet enduring, the power of a thread never lies in its size, but in its ability to span distances, connect two ends, and turn longing into reunion. At Tankii (Tianqi Group), our meticulously crafted alloy wires are our very own "threads of craftsmanship". Just like the red string of fate on Qixi, they cross geographical barriers and break industry boundaries, forging lasting bonds between us and every one of our customers. While romantic relationships are tied by red threads, business partnerships are built on craftsmanship and dedication. Every coil of wire delivered to our customers is more than an industrial material — it is a promise of trust, and a solid bond that connects supply and demand to create shared value. 2. Craftsmanship as Our Thread: Full In-House Control for Uncompromising Quality 2.1 Independent R&D and Production for Full-Chain Autonomy With years of deep engagement in the electric heating alloy industry, Tankii has always driven growth through independent R&D and in-house manufacturing. Backed by our own production base and technical team, we have built a fully self-controlled system covering raw material smelting, precision processing and finished product inspection. Quality control starts from the very first step of raw material incoming inspection. We do not rely on external outsourcing, nor are we subject to upstream supply fluctuations. From alloy formula optimization to production process arrangement, and from core process upgrading to finished product validation, everything is completed independently by our in-house technical team. This full-chain autonomy is the foundation of our consistent high-quality output, and the most fundamental guarantee for our customers’ trust. 2.2 Precision Engineering, Refining Every Detail The quality of alloy wires lies in every subtle process detail. Just as the red thread of Qixi is delicate yet unbreakable, our wires are refined to achieve the perfect balance of fineness and stability. From billet drawing to finished forming, the wire goes through dozens of precision drawing passes. The deformation rate of each pass is precisely calculated to ensure uniform internal stress and dense microstructure. In terms of diameter control, we tighten the tolerance to the micron level, ensuring highly consistent resistance across every batch. In surface treatment, we adopt passivation and polishing processes to deliver a uniform, defect-free surface with greatly improved oxidation resistance and service life. From 0.015mm ultra-fine wire to several-millimeter industrial heavy wire, all specifications follow the same precision standards, embedding craftsmanship into every inch of our products. 2.3 Strict Quality Control, Every Wire Tested and Verified Great partnerships, like great relationships, stand the test of time. At Tankii, every batch must pass multiple rigorous quality checks before leaving the factory. Composition analysis, resistance testing, tensile toughness verification, high-temperature service life evaluation — every performance indicator has clear acceptance criteria, and substandard products never reach the market. We have established a complete batch traceability system, from raw material heat number to production process, from test data to delivery records, all information is fully traceable. This ensures that every coil of wire delivered to customers delivers stable and reliable performance. With technology as the backbone, process as the standard, and quality control as the foundation, we cultivate the market with solid product strength, making every wire a "thread of trust" worth entrusting. 3.

Recent Nickel Price Trend: Overall Weak Oscillation With Mild Monthly Downward Shift 1.1 International Market: LME Nickel Rallied Then Retreated, Returning to Late-July Low Range Since early August 2026, London Metal Exchange (LME) nickel prices have reversed the upward oscillation seen in late July, showing a pattern of rally followed by retreat with a downward shift in the price center. As of August 14, the three-month LME nickel closed at USD 16,810 per tonne, down around 2.9% from the early-August peak of USD 17,305 per tonne. It has edged down 0.12% over the past month but remains 10.63% higher than the same period last year. A notable 2.45% single-day drop occurred on August 6, the most significant market move this month, with prices dipping to USD 16,565 per tonne — the lowest level since early July. Since then, prices have maintained weak oscillation within the range of USD 16,600–17,000 per tonne. 1.2 Domestic Market: SHFE Nickel Followed Suit, Range-Bound Amid Supply-Demand Tug of War On the Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE), the main nickel contract moved largely in sync with the international market, staying under overall pressure. By mid-August, the main SHFE nickel contract closed at around RMB 127,000 per tonne, down about 2.6% from the early-month high, trading mainly between RMB 125,000 and 135,000 per tonne. Spot prices moved in line with the futures market. The average price of SMM 1# electrolytic nickel stayed in the range of RMB 129,000–130,000 per tonne. Downstream buyers mostly purchased on demand, resulting in generally light trading. The market remains locked in a tug of war between expectations of loose supply and phased cost support. 2. Three Core Drivers Behind the Downward Pressure on Nickel Prices 2.1 Supply Side: Eased Indonesian Quota Expectations Shattered the Supply Shortage Narrative This is the most direct trigger for the latest nickel price decline. Previously, the market widely expected that Indonesia’s 2026 nickel ore RKAB mining quota would be tightened, which had supported nickel ore and nickel prices to stay relatively firm. However, news emerged in early August that large mining concessions in Indonesia had received additional nickel ore mining quotas, with the annual allowance for a single mine jumping sharply from 12 million tonnes to 37 million tonnes — an increment of 25 million tonnes. Although Indonesian authorities clarified that the total annual mining volume will not be fully liberalized and the additional quotas are only targeted at smelters facing raw material shortages, the news directly broke the market’s consensus on nickel ore supply shortage. Market sentiment shifted quickly, driving a sharp correction in nickel prices. Meanwhile, Philippine mines have continued to ramp up exports since the end of the rainy season, resulting in ample nickel ore supply and weakening ore price momentum. Domestic refined nickel output remains at a high level, and inflows of overseas intermediate products and ferronickel add to the supply. Social inventories and exchange warehouse receipts stay at historically elevated levels. The overall relatively ample supply side continues to cap rebound room on the price front. 2.2 Demand Side: Obvious Traditional Off-Peak Season Features, Weak Downstream Consumption Support Lack of stronger-than-expected demand pull is the core internal reason why nickel prices cannot sustain an uptrend. Stainless steel sector: As the largest end consumer of nickel, the sector is currently in its traditional off-peak consumption season. Demand recovery from downstream real estate, home appliances and manufacturing is sluggish. Stainless steel finished product inventories remain under pressure, and steel mill margins have narrowed notably. Mills adopt a cautious attitude toward nickel-bearing raw materials, restocking only as needed without large-scale stockpiling demand. New energy sector: Demand for nickel sulfate from power batteries maintains steady growth, but the marginal pulling power is limited. There has been no explosive growth as the market expected, so its support for nickel prices is weak. Overall, weak downstream consumption fails to form an effective demand floor, further amplifying the impact of bearish supply-side factors. 2.3 Cost and Macro Side: Falling Smelting Costs + Stronger US Dollar Exert Dual Pressure On one hand, easing geopolitical risks have weakened cost support from the smelting side. Earlier market concerns over shipping disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz pushing up sulfur prices have faded. As geopolitical tensions cool, lower sulfur costs have directly reduced raw material expenses for nickel hydrometallurgy, eroding the cost support for nickel prices. On the other hand, on the macro front, expectations for Fed interest rate cuts continue to cool, and the US Dollar Index remains relatively strong. Dollar-denominated commodities face overall valuation pressure, with base metals generally weak — and nickel is no exception to this macro sentiment drag. 3. Forward Outlook: Bull-Bear Tug of War to Continue, Range-Bound Pattern Likely in the Short Term In the short term, bullish and bearish factors in the nickel market will remain in balance, with insufficient momentum for either a sharp unilateral rally or a steep decline. Bearish factors: The general trend of continued release of Indonesian nickel production capacity remains unchanged, and the medium-to-long-term pattern of loose supply is intact. Demand in the traditional off-peak season is unlikely to rebound notably in the short term, and downstream procurement remains cautious, lacking upward drivers. Supportive factors: The Indonesian RKAB quota adjustment is not a full liberalization; total annual mining volume remains under control, so the actual supply increment is smaller than the market’s panic-driven expectation. Current nickel prices are approaching the cost line of some smelters, with cost support gradually building from below, leaving limited room for further decline. On balance, nickel prices are expected to maintain range-bound oscillation in the short term. Two key indicators deserve close attention going forward: first, the final implementation of Indonesia’s nickel ore quota policy, and second, the strength of downstream demand recovery during the traditional peak season in September. 4. Procurement and Stockpiling Recommendations for Downstream Enterprises Prioritize on-demand procurement and avoid blind stockpiling With the market currently in the demand off-peak season and prices lacking sustained upward momentum, downstream enterprises are advised to procure on demand and purchase as needed, rather than hoarding raw materials blindly. This helps avoid inventory buildup and price fluctuation risks. Watch key turning points and seize phased buying opportunities Track closely the start of the traditional September-October peak season demand, as well as the implementation progress of Indonesian policies. Phased restocking can be arranged at periodic lows to smooth annual procurement costs. Lock in long-term stable suppliers to reduce volatility impact For enterprises with year-round nickel consumption — such as electric heating alloy and stainless steel processing firms — establishing long-term cooperation with high-quality upstream suppliers and securing stable purchase agreements can smooth price fluctuations and ensure production supply chain stability. 5. Stable Supply From Tankii: Full Range of Nickel-Based Alloys for Steady Operations 5.1 Ample Raw Material Reserves to Cushion Price Volatility Tankii has established a sound raw material reserve and cost control system. We smooth nickel price fluctuations through long-term agreements and strategic stockpiling, ensuring price stability for our full range of nickel-based products including pure nickel wire, nichrome alloys and copper-nickel alloys. This shields customers’ production plans from the impact of sharp raw material price swings. 5.2 Full-Specification Products With Stable Delivery for Diverse Scenarios Our product portfolio covers the full spectrum of electric heating alloys: pure nickel, nichrome, copper-nickel and FeCrAl, with wire diameters ranging from 0.015mm to 6.0mm. We support customized specifications and deep processing services.

Our technical team can offer targeted procurement and stockpiling recommendations based on customers’ consumption volume and delivery schedules, helping downstream enterprises optimize raw material costs and secure supply chain safety. Conclusion Nickel price movement is essentially the result of the interplay of supply, demand, macroeconomic conditions and policy factors. Under the current short-term weak oscillation pattern, there is no need to chase rallies or panic-sell excessively. A more prudent approach is to base decisions on actual production needs and maintain well-managed procurement rhythm. As a professional supplier of nickel-based electric heating alloys, Tankii will continue to monitor raw material market changes and safeguard downstream customers’ steady production with stable product quality and reliable delivery capability.

Overseas Visit: Deepening Ties with Turkish Academic Partners 1.1 A Journey to Bursa’s Leading Engineering Hub Recently, Tankii’s international business team wrapped up a technical exchange and customer visit trip across Turkey. On this land straddling two continents, we advanced existing partnerships and connected directly with next-generation engineering talent, adding another meaningful milestone to our brand’s global expansion journey. The key stop of the trip was Bursa, home to Uludag University — one of Turkey’s most respected institutions for automotive and power system engineering research. 1.2 Working Hand in Hand with the Student Racing Squad Our team met in person with the student engineering team from the university’s Department of Automotive Engineering. The group is currently developing a competitive water racing vehicle, with full focus on preparing for the upcoming International Water Racing Championship in Germany. Every phase of their work, from hull design to powertrain calibration and component sourcing, follows top-tier international competition standards. As a key material supplier for the project, Tankii’s technical staff reviewed on-site application performance of our materials, exchanged insights on battery assembly optimization, and shared practical guidance tailored to the team’s racing requirements. 2. Why Tankii Pure Nickel Wire Came Out on Top 2.1 Strict Material Requirements for Racing Battery Builds For water racing vehicles, the battery pack is the heart of the powertrain. The internal connecting materials directly influence power delivery efficiency, runtime consistency and overall system safety. Operating in humid, salt-exposed aquatic environments puts heavy stress on components. The student team ran extensive comparative trials on candidate materials, evaluating electrical efficiency, heat tolerance, corrosion resilience and fabrication compatibility across multiple rounds of testing. 2.2 Proven Performance Through Lab and On-Vehicle Testing After rigorous laboratory measurements and repeated real-vehicle tuning sessions, Tankii’s high-purity pure nickel wire emerged as the top choice for the battery pack’s internal connecting components. The engineering team noted that our nickel wire delivered consistent, reliable performance across all test conditions. Its stable conductivity under high load and strong resistance to moisture-related degradation fully matched the precision assembly demands of a competition-grade power system. 2.3 A Special Gesture of Trust and Recognition What made the visit particularly rewarding was a voluntary proposal from the team lead: they will print the Tankii logo directly on the race vehicle body. As the team competes on the international stage in Germany, our brand and materials will be showcased alongside their project — a genuine, unsolicited endorsement that speaks louder than any formal testimonial. This cross-border recognition is both an honor and a powerful vote of confidence in the quality we deliver. 3. Product Strength That Stands Up to Extreme Racing Conditions 3.1 High-Purity Alloy for Reliable Electrical Performance International motorsport competitions set extremely high bars for component precision, dependability and safety. Real-world racing conditions are the most authentic test of a material’s capabilities. Tankii pure nickel wire is formulated with a nickel purity of 99.6% or higher, delivering excellent electrical conductivity with minimal energy loss. This ensures steady, uninterrupted power supply to the vehicle throughout races, even during sustained high-draw operation. 3.2 Built to Withstand Harsh Aquatic Environments On top of electrical performance, our nickel wire offers strong high-temperature tolerance, corrosion resistance and oxidation stability — properties critical for water racing. It holds up reliably against constant humidity, salt spray and fluctuating operating temperatures common in marine competition environments. 3.3 Precision Manufacturing for Tight Assembly Needs Racing battery packs have compact internal layouts with densely packed connection points, leaving very little tolerance for dimensional variation. Produced through multi-stage precision drawing processes, our nickel wire maintains tight diameter consistency and a clean, burr-free surface finish. This makes precision welding and assembly straightforward, reduces contact resistance, and minimizes the risk of localized overheating under heavy current — adding an extra layer of safety to the powertrain. 3.4 Performance Comparison: Pure Nickel Wire vs Standard Copper Conductors To better illustrate the advantages of nickel wire in water racing applications, the table below compares core performance indicators between Tankii high-purity nickel wire and ordinary copper connecting wire: Performance Parameter Tankii High-Purity Nickel Wire Standard Copper Connecting Wire Electrical Conductivity Excellent, stable under sustained load High initial value, degrades noticeably with oxidation Aquatic Corrosion Resistance Excellent; resists salt spray and prolonged humidity Poor; prone to tarnish and green rust formation High-Temperature Stability Stable under elevated operating temperatures Softens at high temperatures; higher creep deformation risk Strength-to-Weight Ratio High; supports thinner, lighter wiring layouts Lower; requires thicker gauge for equal mechanical strength Service Life in Racing Conditions Long; minimal performance drift across race cycles Short; frequent replacement and maintenance required Ideal Application High-reliability racing & precision battery builds General indoor, low-stress electrical wiring For simple low-stress circuits, copper offers lower upfront cost. For competitive water racing, however, the long-term stability and corrosion resistance of nickel wire prevent unexpected performance drops mid-race, making it the more reliable and cost-effective choice over a full competition season. 4. More Than a Supply Deal: Meaningful Win-Win Collaboration 4.1 Empowering Young Engineering Talent This partnership is different from a standard commercial supply agreement. Working alongside student innovators shows us new, creative use cases for industrial alloy materials, and reinforces our belief that quality manufacturing can support both large-scale industrial production and grassroots innovation. Well-engineered materials don’t just serve factory floors — they can help turn young engineers’ ideas into real, competitive technology. 4.2 Real-World Data Drives Product Improvement Performance data collected under extreme racing conditions also delivers valuable, real-world insights for our own R&D work. This feedback loop helps us refine production processes and fine-tune material properties, creating a positive cycle of mutual improvement between industry and academia. Moving forward, Tankii will continue supporting student innovation programs around the world, providing material expertise to help more young engineering teams bring their projects to life. 4.3 Another Step Forward in Tankii’s Global Growth This collaboration with a Turkish university engineering team is another important step in our international development strategy.

As the critical connecting component between the thermocouple sensing tip and the control/display instrument, thermocouple extension wire directly determines the accuracy and stability of the entire temperature measurement system. Among all available options, the green-white core silicone-jacketed extension wire stands out for its excellent temperature tolerance, high flexibility and wide environmental adaptability, making it a top choice for medium-low temperature industrial measurement and automation equipment matching. Many purchasers fall into common traps during selection, such as mixing up calibration codes, ignoring jacket material quality, or choosing the wrong accuracy class. These missteps often lead to significant temperature deviation, premature jacket cracking and aging, and even complete failure of the temperature monitoring system. This guide breaks down the proper selection method for Type K green-white silicone extension wire from three perspectives: core product basics, key selection criteria, and common pitfalls to avoid. 1. Understanding Type K Green-White Silicone Thermocouple Extension Wire 1.1 Core Product Basics Type K extension wire uses exactly the same nickel-chromium / nickel-silicon alloy as the Type K thermocouple itself for its internal conductors. Its primary function is to extend the thermocouple cold junction and compensate for measurement errors caused by ambient temperature fluctuations at the cold end, making it an indispensable part for accurate temperature readings. Green and white is the universal industry color code for Type K extension wires: the positive conductor is green and the negative conductor is white. This design allows on-site technicians to quickly identify the thermocouple type and polarity, greatly reducing the risk of reverse wiring. The outer silicone rubber jacket offers far better high/low temperature resistance, flex endurance and insulation performance than standard PVC jackets, making it suitable for more demanding working environments. 1.2 Typical Application Fields This type of extension wire is widely used for medium-low temperature measurement in chemical processing, metallurgy, power operation and maintenance, and HVAC automation systems. It is particularly well-suited for installations that require frequent bending or movement, as well as locations with elevated ambient temperatures where standard PVC wiring would degrade quickly. 2. Key Selection Factors: 5 Dimensions to Make the Right Choice 2.1 Verify Calibration Match and Conductor Material The core function of extension wire is temperature compensation, which only works when the wire calibration perfectly matches the thermocouple type. Type K extension wire must use nickel-chromium and nickel-silicon alloy conductors — it can never be replaced by copper or ordinary copper-nickel alloys. Some low-cost products on the market use plain copper wire as a substitute, which provides zero temperature compensation and causes temperature measurement errors of several degrees Celsius. When sourcing, you can make an initial judgment via the green-white color code, and you should also request material composition test reports from the supplier to confirm the alloy ratio meets industry standards. 2.2 Evaluate Silicone Jacket Quality and Temperature Rating The quality of the outer jacket directly impacts the service life and environmental adaptability of the extension wire. High-quality virgin silicone rubber jackets can operate continuously at temperatures from -60°C to 200°C, and withstand short-term exposure up to 250°C. They also feature inherent flame retardancy, ozone resistance and aging resistance, delivering stable long-term performance even outdoors or in high-temperature environments. Low-grade silicone jackets made from recycled materials fail to meet temperature requirements, and tend to soften, become sticky or crack under heat, leading to insulation failure and temperature measurement breakdowns in a short period. The table below compares the performance of two common jacket materials for clearer reference: Performance Aspect Standard PVC Extension Wire Silicone Rubber Extension Wire Continuous Temperature Range -20°C to 80°C -60°C to 200°C Flex Endurance Moderate; prone to breakage after repeated bending Excellent; ideal for dynamic bending installations Aging Resistance Prone to hardening and degradation at high temperatures Ozone and aging resistant; much longer service life Typical Use Case Indoor fixed wiring, routine temperature measurement Medium-high heat, moving installations, harsh outdoor conditions 2.3 Choose the Appropriate Accuracy Class for Your System Thermocouple extension wires are generally available in two accuracy classes: standard grade and precision grade, each with different allowable error tolerances. Standard grade has an allowable error of ±2.5°C, while precision grade has a tighter tolerance of ±1.5°C to suit higher-accuracy measurement systems. Standard grade is sufficient for general industrial temperature measurement and standard equipment integration. For laboratory testing, precision instrumentation, and applications requiring high measurement accuracy, precision grade products are recommended. 2.4 Select Wire Gauge Based on Wiring Distance The cross-sectional area of the conductors directly affects circuit resistance and signal attenuation. The longer the wiring run, the larger the conductor cross-section should be. Common sizes on the market include 2*0.5mm², 2*1.0mm² and 2*1.5mm². For short indoor runs, 0.5mm² is usually adequate; for long-distance signal transmission, 1.0mm² or larger sizes are recommended. An undersized wire will cause excessive signal loss and amplify measurement errors, while an oversized wire will add unnecessary procurement costs. 2.5 Match Special Performance to Your Working Conditions Different operating environments call for different performance specifications, which should be confirmed against actual site conditions. For outdoor or high-humidity locations, verify the waterproof and moisture-resistant properties of the jacket. For environments with oil exposure or corrosive atmospheres, choose a special oil-resistant and chemical-resistant silicone jacket. For drag chain installations or applications with repeated flexing, select high-flexibility extension wires with stranded soft conductors to extend fatigue life. 3. Common Pitfalls to Avoid When Sourcing 3.1 Pitfall 1: Substituting Ordinary Electrical Wire for Extension Wire Plain copper electrical wire provides no temperature compensation, cannot offset cold junction temperature errors, and will cause severe inaccuracy in temperature readings. The entire value of thermocouple extension wire lies in its matched alloy conductor composition. Never replace dedicated extension wire with ordinary electrical wire just to cut short-term costs. 3.2 Pitfall 2: Choosing Based Only on Low Price Bargain-priced extension wires almost always come with compromises: impure conductor alloys and jackets made from recycled materials are very common. While they may appear functional at first, long-term use often leads to drifting temperature readings, jacket cracking and degradation, which ultimately raise maintenance and replacement costs far more than the initial savings. 3.3 Pitfall 3: Only Checking Temperature Rating and Ignoring Insulation A silicone jacket needs to deliver more than just heat resistance — it must also maintain reliable insulation strength at elevated temperatures. Low-quality products often suffer a sharp drop in insulation performance under high heat, which can cause electrical leakage and signal interference. This not only destabilizes temperature readings but also introduces potential safety hazards. 4.
