Explore the multiple applications and advantages of APS plasma thermal spray technology.

The traditional cast iron cylinder liner, which was once the most widely used and popular technology in the natural gas engine industry, is gradually undergoing a technological revolution, and APS plasma thermal spray technology, as a brand new surface coating process, is redefining the engine bore technology, while also showing great potential in other areas.

APS plasma thermal spray technology is leading the industry in innovation with its unique process and superior performance advantages. By using a plasma arc as a heat source, the powder coating material is heated to a molten or semi-molten state and then sprayed onto the surface of the substrate material to form a surface-covered coating with a variety of functions.

 
The advantages of APS plasma thermal spray technology are self-evident:

Lightweight design: Compared with the traditional cast iron cylinder liner, plasma spraying technology makes the engine structure more compact and the lightweight effect is remarkable.
High wear resistance: The wear-resistant coating material is several times more wear-resistant than the traditional cast iron material, which greatly extends the service life of the engine.
Good corrosion resistance: the coating material has excellent corrosion resistance, so that the engine can still maintain stable operation in harsh environments.
Improved Thermal Efficiency: Plasma thermal spray technology reduces the coefficient of friction and improves thermal efficiency, thus enhancing engine power output and fuel economy.
Fuel Economy: Reduced friction loss reduces fuel consumption; porous mirror structure reduces oil consumption, further improving fuel economy.
Improvement of heat transfer: the coating is completely adhered to the substrate, optimizing the heat transfer effect and improving the efficiency of the engine.

As an industry leader, Zhenhengheng Power is the first one in China to introduce Swiss Oerlikon – Meco fully imported equipment, the same type of equipment used for cylinder hole spraying with Bugatti Veyron, Porsche 918 Spyder, etc. At present, we have successfully accomplished the development of the process of spraying for a variety of products in the industries of high-end large-displacement motorcycles, aviation, shipping and other industries, providing customers with power combustion engine needs around the globe with high-quality products and We provide high quality products and professional services for customers with power combustion engine needs all over the world.

The development of APS plasma thermal spray technology is not only limited to the automotive field, but also shows great potential and broad application prospects in various industries. As an innovative surface coating technology, it will certainly bring new power and possibilities for future technological development and industrial progress.
