​ZSK320 Barrel Upgrade: Laser-Clad Nickel-Tungsten Carbide Boosts Wear Resistance by 6x at Minimal Cost ​The ZSK320 extruder barrel, constructed from 45# carbon steel, features a ​1-2mm laser-clad nickel-tungsten carbide (Ni-WC)​​ coating on its inner walls, replacing traditional nitrided steel barrels. This innovation delivers: ​6x higher wear resistance​ ​10-30% cost increase​ vs. conventional upgrades ​Proven reliability: Zhitian’s proprietary laser cladding technology is standard on ZSK320 barrels. ​Core Challenges & Solutions​ ​1. High-Precision Machining for Large Barrels​ ​Challenges: Structural rigidity issues in long-span machining. Thermal sensitivity causing micro-deformations. ​Solutions: Heavy-duty CNC machines with vibration-damping systems. Precision machining in 20±1°C temperature-controlled environments. ​2. Laser Cladding Thermal Deformation Control​ ​Challenges: Thermal gradients and stress imbalances. Risk of warping or coating cracking. ​Solutions: Preheating (200-300°C) + zone-based cladding + gradual cooling. CTE-matched Ni-WC alloy and post-cladding stress-relief annealing. ​3. Industry Barriers for Small Manufacturers​ ​Challenges: High costs of ultra-large CNC machines and specialized expertise. ​Zhitian’s Answer: ​Cost-effective upgrades: Laser-clad 45# steel reduces material costs. ​Open-access services: OEM solutions for ZSK320 and larger models. ​Keywords: Laser cladding screw barrel Twin-screw extruder barrel Screw barrel wear-resistant coating ZSK320 screw barrel upgrade
