RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Stability and durability are major concerns in the cookware market. Handles on the lid and wok body often become loose, impacting the user experience and posing safety risks. Coating flaking and food sticking can directly affect the lifespan and performance of cookware. To solve these issues, this wok blends traditional Chinese imperial court culture with modern design concepts, ensuring both beauty and functionality.
CHALLENGE: The challenge was to balance cost reduction and high quality. The wok body combines pure black iron with titanium plasma spray, using high temperature and pressure to fuse ceramic titanium powder into the iron to create a microporous titanium layer. This forms a nonstick surface without coatings, while also reducing rust and improving corrosion resistance. Optimized production techniques and precise cost control make the wok an affordable option that enhances cooking enjoyment and life quality.
