The Longquan Sword, which has been passed down for over two thousand years, has made a new breakthrough in rust prevention technology. Recently, at the Longquan Sword Factory located in Longquan City, the person in charge, Zhang Yesheng, picked up a sword coated with nano coatings and showed it to reporters. The shiny body of the sword reflected the light. Although the appearance did not look special, the nano coating effectively solved the problem of rust on the sword. Rust has formed. The use of nanotechnology not only prevents rust, but also does not affect the quality of the sword itself. Unable to overcome the problem of sword rust. We have made many attempts to use different anti rust coatings for the sword, but the effect has always been poor, “said Zhang Yesheng The Research Institute for the Development of Nanotechnology Industry has collaborated and applied new nanomaterials on the sword for the first time. We have optimized over a hundred experiments to develop a suitable nano coating for the characteristics of Longquan Sword, “said Tian Xiu, vice president of the research institute. The use of nano coated swords can maintain rust resistance for 5 to 10 years, clearing the technical barriers for Longquan swords to move towards high-end.
It is understood that in recent years, Longquan Baojian Factory has been on the path of transformation and upgrading, and the application of nanomaterials is only one aspect. In terms of product innovation, they also launched a series of kitchen knives, further opening up the consumer market for daily necessities. In addition, Longquan Sword Factory has also integrated and collided traditional culture with modern civilization, creating an 80 acre production park as a “national industrial tourism demonstration point”.
