A research project to develop an automatic production line for inner pipe plasma coating, jointly undertaken by Tai?痑n Fangzheng Electric Machinery and Shandong University of Science and Technology, passed an approval check on October 10, 2005. Researchers successfully coated the pipe?痵 inner wall with a friction resistant metal-ceramic membrane, or an erosion resistant metal compound membrane, using high energy and density plasma beams as a heating source to trigger the primary reaction. Equipped with an open digital control system, the new production line is able to work on plasma primary reaction automatically. The trial applications of the new system have produced fine results.
The innovative system can widely be used in producing friction resistant pipes for petroleum, chemicals, and energy industries. The proprietary technology will eventually be turned into a new economic growth point, when it finds increasing applications in diverse sectors.
