Phohom New Material employs explosive cladding technology to deeply integrate the performance benefits of two or more different metals, achieving metallurgical bonding at the atomic level between dissimilar metals. This results in clad metal materials with high bonding strength and exceptional overall performance. Based on this technology, Phohom New Material provides the petrochemical industry with feasible, efficient, and cost-effective solutions.

The "Guardian" of Deep-Sea and Ultra-Deep Well Extraction——Titanium-Steel Clad Pipe

In deep-sea oil and gas development, the high chloride ion concentration in seawater and extreme underwater pressure pose severe corrosion risks. The titanium layer of titanium-steel clad pipe forms a dense oxide film that blocks corrosion, while the steel layer provides high compressive strength, ensuring pipeline stability, extending equipment service life, and reducing extraction costs. In ultra-deep well extraction, high temperatures and high sulfur content accelerate metal corrosion. The corrosion resistance of titanium-steel clad pipe ensures the reliable operation of drilling tools and tubing, preventing downhole accidents and improving extraction efficiency and safety.

The "Corrosion-resistant Barrier" in Crude Oil Storage——Nickel-Steel Clad Plate

Figure 2 Nickel-steel clad plate

Crude oil storage tanks are subjected to long-term exposure to sulfides, chlorides, and acidic media in crude oil, along with the risk of stress corrosion caused by temperature fluctuations. Traditional carbon steel tanks rely on increased wall thickness or protective coatings to combat corrosion, but these methods suffer from high costs and frequent maintenance, failing to meet the long-term safety requirements of large-scale storage tanks.

With "bimetallic synergistic protection" feature the nickel-steel clad plate offers an innovative solution to crude oil tank corrosion. The nickel cladding rapidly forms a dense passive film in corrosive environments, effectively blocking aggressive substances such as chloride ions and hydrogen sulfide. The carbon steel base provides structural support, ensuring the tank's pressure and deformation resistance under full load. This "external protection, internal strength" cladding structure significantly enhances corrosion resistance compared to traditional carbon steel while maintaining cost-effectiveness.

The "Performance Leader" of Petroleum Refining Equipment——Titanium-Steel Clad Plate / Stainless Steel-Steel Clad Plate

Equipment such as vacuum towers and distillation columns in petroleum refineries operate in complex and harsh chemical environments, where traditional materials are prone to corrosion, posing safety risks. Titanium-steel clad plates combine an outer carbon steel layer for strength with an inner titanium layer for corrosion resistance, ensuring stable equipment operation. In coking units, stainless steel-steel clad plates replace solid stainless steel, reducing costs while resisting acidic exhaust gases and liquid erosion. This extends equipment lifespan, reduces maintenance frequency, minimizes production downtime, and lowers costs for enterprises

In the future, as the petrochemical industry advances into deeper waters, more complex geological conditions, and higher efficiency with environmental sustainability, the performance requirements for equipment materials will become increasingly stringent. Clad metal materials with their unique combination of properties and flexible customizability, are poised to play an even more critical role in this evolution.
