INTELLIGENT ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY
Plasma Wire Additive Manufacturing (PWAAM) - Redefining metal component production and repair
WHAT IS PWAAM?
PLASMA WIRE ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
Plasma Wire Additive Manufacturing (PWAAM) uses arc/plasma as the heat source and metal wire as the raw material, achieving high-precision, high-performance layer-by-layer cladding regeneration of components through digital path planning.
This advanced technology enables the production of complex geometries that would be impossible or prohibitively expensive with traditional subtractive manufacturing methods.
From aerospace turbine blades to marine propulsion components, PWAAM delivers exceptional performance with service life that surpasses new components.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
WHY PWAAM TECHNOLOGY?
Short Cycle
Repair based on digital model calculation with minimal repair volume and high forming efficiency (2-5 Kg/h).
Low Cost
Material utilization rate approximately 90% when repairing based on digital model calculations.
High Performance
Metallurgical-grade bonding equivalent to forged multi-material gradient composite manufacturing.
CORE ADVANTAGES
TECHNOLOGICAL SUPERIORITY
Metallurgical Bonding
The repaired layer and substrate bond metallurgically with high strength and no risk of spalling.
This metallurgical bond ensures complete integration between the deposited material and the base substrate, eliminating delamination risks common in traditional coating methods.
Forging-level Performance
Mechanical properties meet or exceed forging standards, compliant with AMS7004 aerospace certification.
Our process produces components with mechanical properties that match or surpass traditional forging, validated through rigorous aerospace certification testing.
Customized Wear Resistance
Surface hardness up to HRC 58-62 through gradient material compounding, extending service life significantly.
Functionally graded materials allow optimization of surface properties for specific wear conditions while maintaining core toughness and structural integrity.
APPLICATION CASES
REAL-WORLD APPLICATIONS
Aerospace Components
Turbine blades, engine mounts, and structural components with AMS7004 compliance.
Marine Industry
Propeller blades, shaft components, and corrosion-resistant marine hardware.
Nuclear Power
High-integrity components for reactor systems and power generation equipment.
