• High-Performance Rock Drilling Tools:
Luoyang Jinlu Hard Alloy Tools Co., Ltd. has established itself as a leader in the development of high-performance rock drilling tools through its advanced R&D capabilities and deep integration with the global tungsten and cemented carbide supply chain. A prime example of this innovation is the company’s proprietary line of threaded drill bits and down-the-hole (DTH) drill bits, engineered specifically for harsh underground coal mining environments. In a recent project at the Shendong Coal Mine in Inner Mongolia, one of China’s largest coal-producing regions, Luoyang Jinlu’s DTH drill bits were deployed across multiple boreholes averaging 150 meters in depth. The tools demonstrated exceptional performance, achieving an average penetration rate of 8.5 meters per hour—27% higher than the previous standard equipment used by the mine. This improvement was attributed to the use of impact-resistant, wear-resistant mining alloy teeth combined with precision-forged steel bodies, which significantly reduced bit breakage and tool replacement frequency. Additionally, the company’s patented heat treatment process enhanced the hardness and toughness of the cutting edges, allowing the tools to maintain sharpness even when drilling through abrasive coal seams containing quartz and pyrite. As a result, the mine reported a 35% reduction in downtime and a 40% increase in overall drilling efficiency over a six-month period. These real-world results underscore Luoyang Jinlu’s commitment to delivering durable, high-efficiency solutions that directly translate into cost savings and improved operational safety in demanding coal mining applications.
--- Quality Control and Assurance ---
• State-of-the-Art Testing Equipment:
At Luoyang Jinlu, quality is not just a goal—it’s a process embedded in every stage of production. The company operates a state-of-the-art testing facility equipped with world-class analytical instruments, including an inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer (ICP-AES/OES), a CS230 eco carbon-sulfur analyzer, a 0–300 oxygen-nitrogen analyzer, a laser particle size analyzer, and scanning electron microscopes (SEM). These tools enable precise chemical and microstructural analysis of raw materials and finished products. For instance, during the production of tungsten carbide-based thermal spray powders, each batch undergoes rigorous elemental composition verification using ICP-AES to ensure compliance with GB/T standards for additive manufacturing. In one notable case, a batch of self-fusing alloy powder intended for use in oilfield drilling tools was flagged during routine SEM inspection due to irregular particle morphology. The issue was traced back to a minor deviation in vacuum atomization parameters, which was corrected before any shipment occurred. This proactive approach prevented potential field failures and reinforced the company’s reputation for reliability. Furthermore, the company’s 0–300 oxygen-nitrogen analyzer ensures that critical material properties such as purity and oxidation levels are maintained within tight tolerances—especially vital for high-performance applications in coal mining where even trace impurities can compromise tool integrity. With these advanced systems, Luoyang Jinlu maintains a defect rate below 0.1%, setting a benchmark for quality assurance in the hard alloy industry.
• Full-Process Quality Management:
Luoyang Jinlu implements a comprehensive full-process quality management system that spans from raw material sourcing to final product delivery. Leveraging its parent company Xiamen Tungsten’s vertically integrated industrial chain—ranging from tungsten ore mining to powder production and tool fabrication—the company ensures consistent input quality and traceability. Each production step is monitored via digital tracking systems, enabling real-time data collection and anomaly detection. A key success story occurred in 2023 when a major coal mining operation in Shanxi Province experienced repeated failures in their tunnel boring machine (TBM) cutting tools due to premature wear. Luoyang Jinlu conducted a root cause analysis and discovered that inconsistent sintering temperatures during the carbide production phase had led to microstructural defects. The company immediately initiated a corrective action plan, recalibrating all sintering furnaces and introducing automated temperature feedback loops. Subsequent batches passed stringent metallographic inspections and were successfully tested in field trials, resulting in a 60% extension in tool life. This incident highlighted the importance of end-to-end quality control, especially in high-stakes mining applications. Today, Luoyang Jinlu’s quality management system is certified under ISO 9001:2015 and recognized by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology as part of the “Specialized, Refined, and Innovative” Small Giant Enterprises program. This level of discipline ensures that every tool leaving the factory meets the highest standards of performance, durability, and safety—proving that true reliability begins long before the first drill strike.

• Case Studies in Coal Mining:
One of the most compelling real-world validations of Luoyang Jinlu’s technology comes from a large-scale underground coal mine in Hebei Province, where the company supplied a complete suite of rock drilling tools and carbide roller rings for continuous longwall mining operations. Prior to partnering with Luoyang Jinlu, the mine faced chronic issues with tool failure, particularly in the coal cutting teeth and tunneling teeth used in shearer machines. On average, the mine had to replace cutting teeth every 3.2 kilometers of advance, leading to significant downtime and increased maintenance costs. After switching to Luoyang Jinlu’s high-performance mining tools—featuring impact-resistant alloy teeth and precision-forged steel bodies—the mine recorded a dramatic improvement: cutting tool lifespan extended to 6.8 kilometers on average, nearly doubling the previous performance. Moreover, the carbide roller rings, designed for thread rolling in wire rod mills, showed zero signs of thermal fatigue after over 12,000 hours of continuous operation under extreme pressure and temperature conditions. The mine’s production output rose by 22% within the first year, while maintenance labor hours dropped by 38%. Another milestone was achieved in 2024 when Luoyang Jinlu’s tunnel boring machine (TBM) cutting tools were used in the construction of a new metro line in Zhengzhou. The tools successfully navigated through mixed strata—including soft clay, fractured rock, and hard basalt—with minimal wear and no catastrophic failure. Post-project analysis revealed that the tools retained over 90% of their original cutting edge integrity, a testament to the superior wear resistance and thermal stability of the company’s cemented carbide formulations. These case studies illustrate how Luoyang Jinlu’s science-driven engineering and robust quality systems deliver measurable, real-world benefits—making it a trusted partner for coal mining operators seeking sustainable, high-performance solutions.
