Engineered for maximum lifecycle enhancement, low dilution rates, and extreme metallurgical bonding strength
In the modern manufacturing landscape, equipment reliability, operating efficiency, and material longevity are major indicators of competitive advantage. Plasmaschweißgerät (Plasma Transferred Arc - PTA welding machines) and Laser Cladding Systems have evolved from niche repair methods to key solutions in global surface rebuild technologies.
As global supply chains face challenges with metal alloy shortages and environmental regulations, the concept of remanufacturing has taken center stage. Instead of scrapping worn-out industrial equipment, companies in the DACH region, the Americas, and APAC are utilizing plasma and laser cladding technologies to apply high-performance protective layers. By depositing premium cobalt-based, nickel-based, or tungsten carbide powders, base metals can match or exceed original equipment specifications.
"PTA cladding delivers a high-density metallurgical bond with minimal heat-affected zones, reducing raw material usage by up to 70% compared to new component fabrication."
Meeting the extreme operational demands of aerospace, energy, mining, and agriculture through tailored PTA processes
Shielding soil-engaging tools, tillers, and harvesting blades from abrasive wear and impact damage using tungsten carbide overlays.
Providing precision cladding for turbine blade tips and high-stress rotor components with minimal thermal distortion.
Corrosion-resistant overlays (Inconel, Stellite) for downhole tools, mud motors, and control valves operating in H2S and high-pressure zones.
Hardfacing of heavy rolls, continuous caster guides, and hot forging dies to withstand high thermal fatigue cycles.
Shanghai Duomu maintains a dedicated research and development team focused entirely on PTA (Plasma Transferred Arc) cladding machinery and robotic laser integration.

Exporting industrial machinery requires high standards of reliability and compliance. All Shanghai Duomu PTA welding systems and laser cladding units are built to meet international directives, including CE conformity, ISO 9001:2015 quality systems, and safety standards for laser enclosures.
We support our international customers through robust technical support networks:
Every PTA and laser cladding system undergoes a 48-hour continuous test cycle prior to export. This ensures that electrical setups, water cooling loops, and high-frequency igniters operate reliably in demanding environments.
Technical answers to common questions about PTA cladding, laser overlays, and system selection
PTA (Plasma Transferred Arc) cladding uses a high-energy plasma arc to melt both the base metal surface and the metal powder, creating a strong metallurgical bond. It offers high deposition rates and cost efficiency for thick overlays. Laser cladding uses a focused laser beam as the heat source, creating a smaller melt pool, which results in very low heat input, minimal dilution (under 3%), and precise control for thin-walled parts.
Our PTA power sources feature digital control over current, plasma gas, shielding gas, and powder carrier gas. By optimizing the arc length and using our proprietary water-cooled torches, we keep the heat input steady. This ensures dilution rates stay below 5%, preserving the wear-resistant properties of the overlay alloy.
Yes, we design specialized internal bore plasma and laser torches (such as the DNPT16018-HQ and DNPT30018-HQ series) for cladding the inner surfaces of pipes, barrels, and cylinders. These systems can work inside bores down to 80 mm in diameter, helping protect parts from wear and corrosion.
Our powder feeders are designed to handle a range of spherical powders. This includes cobalt-based alloys (Stellite series), nickel-based alloys (Inconel, Colmonoy), iron-based alloys, and tungsten carbide (WC-Co) composites for high-wear environments.
