Explore our premium machinery range designed for high wear-resistance, minimal dilution rates, and extreme environment endurance.
The global demand for high-strength, wear-resistant, and corrosion-resistant metallic components has driven rapid technological growth within the China Automatic Plasma Welding Machine Market. Heavy industries like aerospace, steel casting, and deep-well petrochemical drilling require surface engineering options that exceed the lifespan limits of standard thermal spraying or manual MMA hardfacing.
PTA (Plasma Transferred Arc) cladding stands out due to its ability to form dense, metallurgically bonded overlays on carbon steels, alloy steels, and superalloys with low dilution rates (<5%). This technical capability translates directly into lower alloying powder consumption and significantly higher components lifecycle margins.
At Shanghai Duomu, we possess an independent R&D team specializing in developing, producing, and selling state-of-the-art plasma cladding machine equipment. Our welding setups feature highly stable arc performance, allowing for continuous, high-efficiency, long-term operations.

“The PTA Welding Valve Application Guide is not just a process choice for valve manufacturers facing high wear, high corrosion, and high-temperature erosion working conditions, but also a key path to improving product competitiveness. As industries such as petrochemical, power generation, and refining demand higher performance, choosing PTA cladding over manual casting processes becomes critical.”
Valve Application Specialist
“In industries such as mining, cement, power generation, steelmaking, chemical processing, and biomass energy, screw conveyors are often regarded as auxiliary equipment. However, maintenance data shows that they are among the most frequent causes of unplanned production downtime. Implementing automated screw flight PTA welding dramatically lowers maintenance cycles.”
Conveyor System Engineer
“In Plasma Transferred Arc (PTA) hardfacing, achieving a high-quality overlay is not only about selecting the right alloy powder or optimizing welding parameters. One of the most critical factors that directly affects overlay performance is the dilution rate. Minimizing dilution preserves the raw properties of the hardfacing alloy powder.”
Metallurgical Analysis Director
“In industries such as Oil & Gas, Mining, Power Generation, Cement, and Heavy Equipment Manufacturing, hardfacing is no longer just a repair process. It has become a critical technology directly related to equipment lifespan, downtime costs, maintenance frequency, and structural integrity.”
Industrial Maintenance Consultant
“In industries such as oil & gas, petrochemical, power generation, mining, and marine engineering, industrial valves are constantly exposed to severe operating conditions including high pressure, extreme temperatures, corrosive media, abrasive wear, and sand erosion. Duomu PTA welding systems resolve these issues efficiently.”
