April 2025 – A delegation of clients from India recently visited China to conduct an on-site inspection of WRD's independently developed ZAM tube mill. During the three-day in-depth exchange, the client team observed the complete production process in detail and expressed strong interest in the mill's high level of automation and the diverse applications of zinc-aluminum-magnesium (ZAM) pipes. Both parties have now entered formal cooperation discussions.
1. Fully Automated Process Draws Attention
WRD's ZAM tube mill adopts an intelligent integrated control system, utilizing PLC and industrial IoT platforms to achieve fully automated operations—from uncoiling and forming to welding and sizing. The equipment's modular design enables quick model changes, supporting the production of multiple pipe specifications while significantly reducing setup time and improving order response efficiency.
2. ZAM Pipes Break Traditional Application Boundaries
The ZAM alloy pipes produced by this mill feature a ternary alloy coating (Zn-Al-Mg), offering breakthroughs in corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. The synergistic effect of zinc, aluminum, and magnesium enhances performance in:
- New energy sectors (e.g., solar mounting structures)；
- High-end manufacturing；
- Municipal engineering.
ZAM-coated pipes demonstrate 5x better corrosion resistance than traditional galvanized pipes in high-humidity, high-salinity environments, making them ideal for landmark projects such as the underground utility tunnels of Dubai's Palm Islands.
3. Global Expansion Accelerates Production Collaboration
As a leading tube mill supplier, WRD has already delivered multiple high-end pipe production lines worldwide. With rising environmental regulations and the global push for carbon neutrality, the ZAM-coated steel market is poised for exponential growth. According to SMM (Shanghai Metals Market), global demand for ZAM-coated steel is projected to grow at an annual rate of 10% from 2024 to 2030, with solar mounting systems accounting for over 35% of the market share.
