Laser cladding technology extends the service life of wear-resistant rod top heads in steel plants.

In actual production, steel mill piercing plug heads face extremely harsh working conditions. They need to operate frequently in environments of high temperature, high pressure, and high friction, which easily leads to wear, spalling, and other problems on the surface. This not only affects production continuity and causes production interruptions but also increases enterprise costs due to frequent replacement of the plug heads, putting considerable economic pressure on steel mills.

The emergence of laser cladding wear-resistant technology has provided an effective solution to this industry challenge. Engineers at Huayan Technology, combining the material properties of the plug head with its working conditions, carefully formulated the cladding materials. Through precise cladding processes, they uniformly clad the materials onto the surface of the plug head, forming a protective layer that possesses both toughness, high-temperature resistance, and wear resistance. This protective layer is like putting on "diamond armor" for the plug head, effectively resisting the combined erosion of high temperature, high pressure, and friction.

Actual application tests show that the service life of piercing plug heads treated with laser cladding is several times longer than that of products treated with traditional processes. The implementation of this technology has effectively ensured the continuity of steel mill production, reduced downtime caused by plug head replacement, and significantly lowered the comprehensive costs of plug head procurement and replacement, saving steel mills considerable operating expenses.
