Self-Reliant & Controllable – One-Stop Delivery of Composite Tubesheets by Phohom New Materials

In recent years, large-scale equipment in the nuclear power, petrochemical, coal chemical, and new energy industries has been evolving toward higher parameters, larger sizes, and longer-term stable operation. As core pressure-bearing and anti-corrosion components in heat exchangers and pressure vessels, metal composite tubesheets have long faced prominent manufacturing challenges: high precision requirements and inconsistent quality in mass production. The common practice of multi-process outsourced processing is a major source of these industry pain points.

In response to the challenges, Phohom New Materials has established a dual intelligent manufacturing base in Liuyang, Hunan Province and Jinchang, Gansu Province. Based on the high-performance laminated material preparation technology, it has constructed a fully self-controlled pipe plate manufacturing system to ensure product accuracy, batch stability, and full-process traceability.

Heavy-Duty Processing Equipment Supporting One-Stop Machining of Large-Scale Components
 

One-stop delivery requires corresponding processing capabilities. Phohom New Materials is equipped with a full range of heavy-duty, high-precision processing equipment, covering every step from plate pretreatment to precision tube hole drilling. This enables the complete, one-stop processing of heavy-duty pressure-bearing components weighing up to 20 tons per piece, achieving in-house manufacturing of large composite tubesheets. Additionally, this capability can be adapted to the production and processing of core components such as pressure vessel shell sections and shell-and-tube heat exchangers.

CNC edge milling machine: Performs precision processing of welding bevels on composite plates, providing high-precision reference surfaces for equipment assembly and circumferential seam welding.

80mm × 3200mm wide plate rolling machine: Enables rolling and forming of extra-wide plates to meet the needs of oversized tubesheet prefabrication.

Heavy-duty double-column vertical lathe: Handles high-precision turning of large-diameter disc-type tubesheets with strict control over geometric tolerances.

CNC radial drilling machine: Suited for mass processing of densely arranged tube holes over large areas, ensuring consistent hole size across entire batches of workpieces.

Large gantry machining center: Performs precision machining of special-shaped tubesheets and non-standard pressure-bearing components, achieving flatness and surface finish that meet the Class 1 accuracy standard of GB150 (Pressure Vessel Code).

 

Batch Delivery Track Record for Multi-Material, Multi-Specification Tubesheets
 

Leveraging the above production capabilities, Phohom New Materials has achieved stable delivery of metal composite tubesheets in various materials and specifications. Recent delivered batches include:

▶ 304L + SA-516M Gr 70 stainless steel-steel composite tubesheet, finished diameter Φ1030mm
▶ TA2 M + 16MnⅢ N titanium-steel composite tubesheet, finished diameter Φ1030mm
▶ BFe10-1-1 + Q345R copper-nickel-steel composite tubesheet, finished diameter Φ900mm

You no longer need to coordinate with multiple outsourced suppliers at different stages. Phohom New Materials can handle all processes in-house, helping you effectively shorten overall project coordination time while avoiding quality fluctuations and delivery delays caused by outsourcing handover issues. We are also capable of responding quickly to non-standard specifications and customized requirements.
