The company keenly recognized the vast potential of the domestic wear-resistant materials market and the urgent demand for high-quality products.
Leveraging a profound understanding of international advanced technologies, Xinyuan Botong gathered research achievements from domestic authoritative experts and scholars, introduced advanced foreign production equipment and process technologies, and commenced the research, development, and production of wear-resistant welding wires. The company established a complete technological innovation system, combining international standards with China's practical application needs to develop high-performance wear-resistant welding wire products suitable for various working conditions.
III. Quality Attestation: A Decade-Long Exclusive Partnership Growing with an Industry Leader
The quality of Xinyuan Botong's wear-resistant welding wires has received the most authoritative recognition within the industry. Starting in 2008, the company became the exclusive supplier of wear-resistant welding wires for Beijing Power Equipment Group Co., Ltd., a partnership that lasted for an impressive ten years. Beijing Power Equipment Group Co., Ltd., a major domestic manufacturer of medium-speed coal pulverizers, boasts a product market share exceeding 70%, exports to dozens of countries worldwide, and enjoys an excellent reputation in the power equipment field.
The maintenance of this long-term cooperative relationship not only demonstrates the stability and reliability of Xinyuan Botong's product quality but also reflects the company's ability to continuously meet clients' high standards. During this period, Xinyuan Botong's wear-resistant welding wires withstood tests under various harsh operating conditions, providing crucial guarantees for the safe and stable operation of power equipment.
Beyond the deep cooperation with Beijing Power Equipment Group, the company has also established technical collaborations and product supply relationships with several other renowned domestic manufacturers, forming a customer network spanning multiple industrial sectors. With their stable quality and superior performance, the company's wear-resistant welding wires not only fully match imported counterparts but are also exported to over a dozen countries globally, earning recognition in the international market.
IV. Product Upgrade: Strategic Expansion from Welding Wires to Wear-Resistant Steel Plates
Building on the technological advantages and market experience accumulated in the wear-resistant welding wire field, Xinyuan Botong further expanded its product line in 2013 by beginning production of overlay wear-resistant steel plates. This strategic move enabled the company to transition from a wear-resistant materials supplier to a comprehensive solutions provider.
The company invested in building a modern production line for wear-resistant steel plates, rapidly achieving a production scale ranking among the top three domestically. Currently, Xinyuan Botong's annual output of wear-resistant steel plates has reached 200,000 square meters, and the annual sales volume of wear-resistant welding wires is close to 10,000 tons. Products are exported to dozens of countries worldwide, forming a market layout covering multiple industries including mining machinery, power equipment, cement machinery, port handling and transport machinery, and metallurgical machinery.
V. Technological Capability: A Solid Foundation of R&D Innovation and Quality Control
Xinyuan Botong deeply understands that technological innovation is the core driving force behind enterprise development. The company has established comprehensive testing laboratories and a technical R&D center, equipped with advanced instruments for material analysis, performance testing, and equipment inspection. The R&D team comprises several professional technical personnel with doctoral or postgraduate qualifications and above, forming a scientific research echelon that combines senior, mid-career, and young talent, with solid theoretical foundations and rich practical experience.
Adhering to a product development strategy of "producing one generation, researching the next, and reserving one for the future," the company continuously increases R&D investment and has established long-term cooperative relationships with numerous renowned universities and research institutes. In recent years, the company has achieved a series of innovative results in fields such as chromium carbide wear-resistant materials, composite overlay welding processes, and high-temperature wear-resistant technology, with some product technologies reaching industry-leading levels.
VI. Core Product: Technical Advantages and Applications of Overlay Wear-Resistant Steel Plates
The overlay wear-resistant steel plates (also known as chromium carbide wear-resistant steel plates, high-chromium alloy wear-resistant steel plates, bimetal wear-resistant steel plates, composite wear-resistant steel plates) produced by Xinyuan Botong represent the culmination of the company's technological innovation. Utilizing advanced overlay welding processes, this product involves fusing a certain thickness of chromium carbide wear-resistant layer onto a tough substrate, achieving a perfect combination of high surface hardness, excellent wear resistance, and high substrate toughness.
Compared to traditional wear-resistant materials, Xinyuan Botong's overlay wear-resistant steel plates offer significant advantages:
1. Exceptional Wear Resistance: Surface hardness can reach HRC60 or above. Wear resistance is 10-30 times higher than ordinary steel plates and 5-8 times higher than heat-treated wear-resistant steel plates.
2. Excellent Impact Toughness: The substrate uses high-quality low-carbon or low-alloy steel, ensuring sufficient impact resistance and workability.
3. Good High-Temperature Resistance: Can withstand environments up to nearly a thousand degrees Celsius, suitable for various high-temperature wear conditions.
4. Flexible Workability: Can undergo mechanical processing such as cutting, bending, welding, and drilling, facilitating installation and use.
5. High Cost-Effectiveness: Compared to integral alloy castings, costs are reduced by 30%-50% while offering comparable or longer service life.
These characteristics make Xinyuan Botong's wear-resistant steel plates widely applicable in various severe working conditions. Examples include buckets and crusher parts for mining machinery; coal pulverizers and coal conveying pipelines in the power industry; crushers and classifier parts in the cement industry; grabs and unloader parts for port machinery; and high-temperature wear-resistant equipment in the metallurgical industry.
