At the 14th Deep Foundation Engineering Development Forum, Dong Lijun, China Sales Manager of Kennametal (Xuzhou) Co., Ltd., and Zhu Chaoyang, Senior Application Engineer, demonstrated to us their profound technical strength and forward-looking market insight in the field of deep foundation engineering. Dong Lijun pointed out that this forum is not only a valuable platform for industry exchange and cooperation, but also an important stage for promoting technological innovation.

    Since its founding in 1938, Kennametal has always actively participated in industry development and has become a globally leading materials company. He emphasized that the Deep Foundation Engineering Forum brings together experts and enterprises within the industry and has established a sound platform for exchange. Through participating in such high-level conferences, Kennametal not only enhances its own brand image, but also gains deeper insight into industry changes and grasps market trends. This open approach to exchange helps drive technological innovation and lays a solid foundation for market expansion.

    The Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link, an important infrastructure project connecting Shenzhen and Zhongshan, faces a complex geological environment. The construction party was very cautious when selecting equipment, and the cutter pick series products provided by Kennametal, with their outstanding wear resistance and adaptability, successfully handled extreme working conditions, significantly improved construction efficiency, and ensured the smooth progress of the project.

    Similarly, the metro station project at a certain plaza in Guangzhou also faced the challenge of complex geological conditions. In this project, Kennametal's cutter pick products and surfacing welding technology helped the construction team overcome numerous difficulties and, with excellent wear resistance and adaptability, ensured that the project was completed on schedule. These two cases fully demonstrate Kennametal's technical strength and innovation capability in the field of deep foundation engineering.

Zhu Chaoyang delivered an excellent report titled "Application of Kennametal Products in the Piling Industry"

    In his report "Application of Kennametal Products in the Piling Industry," Zhu Chaoyang, Senior Application Engineer at Kennametal, introduced the company's development history and business segments. As a leader in wear-resistant solutions, Kennametal has always adhered to continuous innovation and has obtained multiple patents and high-level product innovation awards.

    Due to the high hardness of WC alloy, it has become the preferred material for hard rock drilling in piling machinery. The report analyzed the effects of WC particle size, Co content, and other factors on properties such as material strength and toughness, and shared Kennametal's new directions in the research and development of high-performance WC materials. At the same time, combining the advantages of Kennametal alloys, it recommended diversified products and cutter pick selection models. Based on experimental data and actual engineering cases, it analyzed the effects of high temperature and cutter pick layout on wear resistance and rock penetration efficiency, and put forward corresponding application recommendations.

Exhibition and Display

    During the forum, Zhu Chaoyang introduced to attendees that Kennametal's KenCast products adopt advanced fusion casting technology, distributing WC particles uniformly within the substrate at a certain depth. The surface hardness can reach 86-91 HRA, the hardness of the fused portion can reach up to 58 HRC, and the substrate hardness is in the range of 38-50 HRC. This technology can ensure the product's outstanding wear-resistant performance under various complex working conditions.

    In addition, the substrate design facilitates on-site welding and can be customized into various shapes according to customer needs, greatly improving the product's flexibility and applicability.

    Zhu Chaoyang also shared Kennametal's star products and surfacing welding technology. These technologies not only improve construction efficiency but also promote the progress of industry technology. The widespread application of surfacing welding technology enables cutter pick products for rotary drilling rigs, double-wheel milling machines, and other equipment to perform excellently in various projects, perfectly meeting customers' diverse needs.

    Kennametal will continue to be committed to technological innovation and market expansion. By participating in industry forums and professional exhibitions, it actively engages in exchange and cooperation with other enterprises to promote the development of the entire industry. At the same time, Kennametal will continue to focus on customer needs and continuously optimize products and services to respond to market changes.

    Against the backdrop of accelerating global infrastructure construction, Kennametal, with its outstanding technology and products, will continue to consolidate its industry-leading position. Through continuous innovation, Kennametal not only hopes to enhance its own market competitiveness but also looks forward to contributing to the progress of the entire industry.

    By participating in this forum, Kennametal not only demonstrated its innovation capability in the field of materials science but also promoted in-depth exchange and cooperation with other enterprises in the industry. With the continuous development of the deep foundation engineering market, Kennametal will continue to leverage its technological advantages, drive industry innovation, and provide customers with more efficient and environmentally friendly construction solutions. In the future, Kennametal will occupy a pivotal position in the global construction machinery market and inject new vitality into the sustainable development of foundation engineering.
