Zhengheng Power and Kunming University of Science and Technology Jointly Establish Yunnan Zhichuan Cloud Layer Technology Co., Ltd.
In April 2025, Chengdu Zhengheng Power Co., Ltd. and Kunming University of Science and Technology, with “joint investment and construction, and collaborative operation” as the cornerstone of cooperation, jointly founded Yunnan Zhichuan Cloud Layer Technology Co., Ltd. in Kunming City, Yunnan Province. This in-depth university-enterprise cooperation accurately aligns with the national strategic direction of scientific and technological achievement transformation, practices the concept of scientific and technological achievement transformation of Kunming University of Science and Technology, realizes the two-way empowerment of the scientific research and innovation capabilities of universities and the industrial practice capabilities of enterprises, and promotes the industrial application of thermal spraying technology to a new stage of development.
New Practice of Industry-Research Integration Driven by Policies
The advancement of this cooperation is inseparable from the guidance and support of the national scientific and technological innovation strategy. In recent years, the state has continuously deepened the reform of scientific and technological achievement transformation, encouraging universities to break the “laboratory barriers” through methods such as valuation and shareholding of achievements and university-enterprise cooperation, so that scientific research technologies can more efficiently meet industrial needs.
The establishment of Yunnan Zhichuan Cloud Layer Technology Co., Ltd. is a specific practice for both parties to explore industry-research integration under such a policy environment. The company will undertake the technical accumulation of Kunming University of Science and Technology in the field of thermal spraying, leverage the advantages of enterprises in production management and market development, transform the technical achievements in the laboratory into implementable industrial services, and finally form a complementary ecosystem where “scientific research has direction and industry has support”.
Core Technical Team Provides Professional Support
The core technical strength of the company relies on the team led by Professor Song Peng from Kunming University of Science and Technology. Professor Song Peng holds a Doctor of Engineering degree from RWTH Aachen University in Germany and has postdoctoral experience at the Jülich Research Centre in Germany. He currently serves as the Vice Dean of the School of Civil Aviation and Aeronautics of Kunming University of Science and Technology, and concurrently as the director of provincial-level scientific research platforms such as the Yunnan International Joint R&D Center for Internal Combustion Engine Clean Emission Technology.
The team has outstanding technical strength, winning the “Top 10 Progress in China’s Surface Science and Technology 2025″. The projects led by the team won the first prize of the China Non-Ferrous Metals Industry Science and Technology Award in 2021 (ranked 1st) and the second prize of the Innovation Award of the China Invention Association. Professor Song Peng was selected into the “Yunnan Xingdian Talent Program” for industrial innovation talents and many other important talent programs, providing solid support for the company’s thermal spraying technology research and development and services.
Full-Chain Business Layout Covers Diverse Needs
Yunnan Zhichuan Cloud Layer Technology Co., Ltd. focuses on the full industrial chain layout of thermal spraying technology. Its business scope includes: research and development of thermal spraying technology; provision of spraying services for various customers; production and sales of spraying products; production and sales of spraying equipment, accessories and ingredients; and transfer and technical services of spraying additive manufacturing technology, forming a complete closed loop from technology research and development to industrial application.
In the application field, the company focuses on serving key industries such as high-end equipment manufacturing and new energy, and provides customized solutions for needs such as anti-corrosion, wear resistance, anti-erosion, and protection of new energy power battery casings.
For Zhengheng Power, this layout has multiple strategic significances:
- Integrate the scientific research resources of Kunming University of Science and Technology, strengthen the R&D capability of thermal spraying technology, and promote the company’s transformation from traditional manufacturing to “manufacturing + technical services”;
- Expand the thermal spraying segment through the new company and enrich the business matrix;
- Leverage the application of thermal spraying technology in multiple fields to form synergy and complementarity with existing businesses.
In the future, the company will play the role of a “technology converter” to promote the transformation of laboratory achievements into industrial competitiveness; fulfill the responsibility of a “green practitioner”. Zhengheng Power will continue to support the development of Yunnan Zhichuan Cloud Layer Technology Co., Ltd., promote the in-depth integration of technological innovation and industrial upgrading, and contribute to the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry.
