In today’s industrial landscape, sectors such as cement, steel, and mining face growing pressure to reduce emissions, save energy, and extend the lifespan of resources. “Sustainability” is no longer a slogan — it has become a condition for survival, not only for businesses but for the planet itself.

At BCC, the answer to this challenge lies in a clear philosophy:
Technology should not only make us stronger — it should help us live in harmony with nature.
D-Plate embodies this belief in every layer of steel it carries.

1. When Steel Longevity Becomes an Environmental Value

In most heavy industries, hundreds of tons of steel parts — liners, hoppers, ducts, and conveyors — are replaced each year due to wear and abrasion. These worn-out components quietly generate mountains of metal waste, hours of downtime, and massive energy losses.

D-Plate changes that equation.
With its dual-layer design — a ductile steel base and a hard overlay made with Powder Overlay Process (POP) technology — each D-Plate lasts 10 to 12 times longer than regular steel plates.
That means:

Fewer replacements → less metal waste
Lower production and transportation energy
Reduced CO₂ emissions over the equipment’s lifetime

In a 1-million-ton cement plant, replacing just 10% of wear parts with D-Plate can reduce carbon emissions by the equivalent of planting thousands of trees every year.
That’s not just a technical improvement — it’s a true environmental contribution.

2. POP Welding – Like Cooking Vietnam’s Perfect Phở Broth

If metallurgy were an art of cooking, then POP welding would be the art of crafting the perfect Phở broth.
In Vietnamese culture, every bowl of Phở — the national noodle soup — is defined by the balance between ingredients: clear yet flavorful broth, tender noodles, fragrant herbs, and a touch of spice. The secret lies in matching the broth to the dish — Phở bò (beef) has a completely different recipe from Phở gà (chicken), or from bún thang and hủ tiếu.

The same applies to industrial wear.
Each wear mechanism — abrasion, erosion, corrosion, impact, heat, cavitation — requires its own “recipe” of alloy composition and ratio.

BCC has developed dozens of “powder recipes” for D-Plate, blending elements such as Cr, Ni, Mo, Nb, Ti, and B to achieve the perfect balance of hardness, ductility, and heat resistance.
Each formula is like a unique broth — crafted for a specific industrial condition.

That’s why D-Plate is not just a product, but a customized solution, “cooked” precisely for the working environment of each customer.

3. Sustainability Begins with Understanding Materials

A product doesn’t last long just because it’s harder — it lasts because it’s more compatible with nature.
In BCC’s philosophy, sustainability doesn’t mean fighting against natural forces; it means understanding and working with them.

POP technology allows precise control of particle size, alloy distribution, and crystal orientation to create an intelligent surface — a “smart steel skin.”
It offers:

Superior wear resistance
Impact absorption
Thermal stress distribution
Easy recyclability

Each of these attributes contributes to a smaller carbon footprint — less repair welding, less material waste, and less electricity consumed over time.

4. Each D-Plate – A Seed of Environmental Happiness

At BCC, we define “environmental happiness” not as a quiet, untouched nature — but as a balanced relationship between production and regeneration.

When a cement plant runs more stably, when maintenance is reduced, and when the surrounding environment stays cleaner — that is happiness.
D-Plate helps make that possible.

Every D-Plate installed means:

Fewer breakdowns and safer working hours for technicians
Lower operating costs for manufacturers
Cleaner industrial ecosystems for local communities

Each plate becomes a seed of environmental happiness — extending the life of machines while reducing the strain on Earth’s limited resources.

5. From Green Technology to a Sustainable Culture

True sustainability starts not from machines, but from people and culture.
BCC’s vision is to build not only wear-resistant steel but also a culture of respect — for materials, for the environment, and for human craftsmanship.

Every engineer trained in a D-Plate Standard Workshop understands the connection between a single technical decision and its environmental consequence.
Each batch of alloy powder is weighed not only by grams — but by the awareness that “we are saving energy for the planet.”

Through the D-Plate Standard Workshop initiative, BCC brings this philosophy to life:
local production, local training, local sustainability — ensuring that the knowledge of wear protection grows together with the communities that use it.

6. Happiness – The Ultimate Measure of Technology

D-Plate represents a new direction for Vietnam’s industrial development — self-reliant, innovative, and responsible.
Responsible not only to customers but also to the environment, to society, and to future generations.

Because true development isn’t measured by how many tons of steel we produce,
but by how much trust, stability, and happiness we preserve for the future.

“Each D-Plate is not just a piece of steel — it’s BCC’s commitment to a greener, happier planet.”

Some companies are born to follow the market, while others are born to set new standards for it.
Bao Chi Company Limited (BCC) – belongs to the latter. From its humble beginnings with basic welding tools to mastering the Powder Overlay Process (POP) and developing the D-Plate brand, BCC has remained steadfast to a simple yet profound philosophy: people are the center, and technology is the key.

People at the center – the foundation of every technology

For BCC, technology is never the destination; it is the tool to unleash human capability.
Over 15 years ago, when many enterprises were busy importing equipment and solutions, BCC chose the opposite direction: train people first, develop technology later.
Each welder and POP technician is trained not just to “operate machines” but to “understand materials, steel, and wear.”

This philosophy created a generation of skilled and passionate Vietnamese engineers – able to stand firm amid the roar of cement plants or the heat of steel furnaces – yet still embody the craftsmanship spirit of Vietnam: meticulous, patient, and inventive.

Every BCC innovation – from alloy formulation and POP process design to workshop systems – begins with an understanding of people: understanding the fatigue of operators, the needs of factories, and the pressure of plant owners.
Technology at BCC, therefore, is not just machinery; it is the humanization of technical intelligence.

Technology as the key – but the key must open the right door

If people are the center, technology is the key to unlock productivity, durability, and innovation.
For BCC, POP (Powder Overlay Process) is the “broth” of the industrial phở – where every element is harmonized to create the durable two-layer D-Plate.

In Vietnamese cuisine, a delicious bowl of phở depends on the subtle balance of bones, ginger, cinnamon, star anise, and the right simmering. Phở bò (beef) and phở gà (chicken) each require a different recipe to reach perfection.
Similarly, in wear protection engineering, every working condition – abrasion, erosion, corrosion, impact, heat, or cavitation – requires a unique “recipe” of alloy powder composition.

This is the essence of BCC’s POP technology: not following predefined formulas, but designing custom alloy ratios for each “industrial dish” – every cement line, mine, or steel mill.
Seen this way, POP welding is not merely a technical process but an art of metallic gastronomy, where Vietnamese engineers orchestrate the perfect symphony of fire and steel.

D-Plate – from product to global solution

From this foundation, BCC has developed the D-Plate ecosystem – the two-layer wear-resistant steel plate and the D-Plate Standard Workshop package: an “industrial phở kitchen” that brings POP technology directly to customers’ factories.

Each D-Plate Workshop is like a kitchen inside an industrial zone:

Ingredients: alloyed mixed powder and wire will be supplied by BCC.
Recipe: customized POP blend ratios for each wear condition.
Chef: local engineers trained by BCC.
Result: standardized D-Plate ready for immediate use in production.

Through decentralized manufacturing, D-Plate not only saves logistics costs and lead times but also enables developing countries to master wear-protection technology, build local capacity, and reduce dependency on imports.

BCC’s five-year strategy is to establish a network of D-Plate Workshops across Southeast Asia, North Africa, and Australia – regions with high demand for wear-resistant materials in cement, mining, and thermal power industries.
Each workshop is a “hot, fresh industrial phở bowl” cooked locally with Vietnamese precision.

The path of Vietnamese technology makers

“People at the center – technology as the key” is not only a technical principle but also a cultural statement of BCC.
In heavy industries – where massive machinery and strict processes often overshadow the human touch – BCC chooses to place people back at the heart of innovation.

Only humans can truly understand the pain of worn steel, feel the heat of the arc, and carry the weight of each D-Plate.
Only humans – with knowledge, dedication, and belief – can turn technology into a Vietnamese culture of creativity.

From a small group of young engineers, BCC today stands as a pioneer in Vietnam’s welding repair and wear-protection materials.
But for them, this journey has just begun.
Ahead lies a world waiting to taste Vietnamese industrial phở – from cement plants to coal mines, from steel mills to power stations across continents.

Conclusion – When technology carries the soul of Vietnam

If phở represents the subtlety of Vietnamese culture, D-Plate represents the subtlety of Vietnamese industry.
A good broth needs steady fire, just as sustainable technology needs dedicated people.
For BCC, that fire is the Vietnamese spirit – creative and resilient; and technology is the torch lighting the path for Vietnamese intelligence to reach the world.

Cuisine is a mirror that truthfully reflects the culture of every nation. The Italians take pride in their pizza, the Chinese in their steamed buns, the Japanese in their sushi... and for Vietnam, it is phở.

“A dish made of rice noodles cooked with beef” — (Definition of phở in the Khai Trí Dictionary, 1930)

“Phở” – Neither Chinese nor Western

Scholars trained in Confucian traditions often claim that phở has Chinese origins, asserting that it derives from the Cantonese dish fan (rice noodles). They argue that the word phở evolved from fan, particularly from zhu rou fen (pork noodle soup).

However, the cooking techniques of zhu rou fen differ entirely from the Vietnamese phở, both in flavor and preparation. Another theory proposes that phở came from the French dish pot-au-feu — and that the word phở was a “broken” pronunciation of feu (meaning “fire” in French).

Yet, according to the Larousse Dictionary of French cuisine, pot-au-feu is a mixed beef stew cooked with carrots, leeks, turnips, and other vegetables — bearing no resemblance to Vietnamese phở in either form or taste. Moreover, pot-au-feu is typically eaten with bread, not noodles.

In contrast, Vietnamese oral tradition aligns more closely with historical evidence from the early 20th century: phở evolved from xáo trâu (water buffalo stew), a humble dish popular among laborers along the banks of the Red River in the early 1900s.

At that time, phở was a working-class meal, filling and affordable. By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, after the French had established their protectorate across Vietnam, only a few beef shops existed in Hanoi serving French residents. These shops often had trouble selling beef — especially the bones, which went to waste.

It was during this period, around 1908–1909, that phở began to take shape. Steamship routes connected Hanoi to Hải Phòng, Nam Định, and Phủ Lạng Thương, while sailing boats from Thanh Hóa and Nghệ An carried fish sauce and dried goods up the river — making the Red River wharves vibrant and bustling.

Street food vendors flocked to the area, but xáo trâu (buffalo stew) was the crowd favorite — cheap and hearty. When beef bones became abundant, vendors began substituting buffalo meat with beef. Because beef develops a strong odor when cold, cooks kept the broth simmering gently over small charcoal fires — and from there, a new dish was born.

Soon, this aromatic beef noodle soup spread across Hanoi, from Ô Quan Chưởng Gate to Hàng Mắm Street. The French ethnographer Henri Oger even documented a phở street vendor in his invaluable illustrated book Techniques du peuple Annamite (1908–1909).

The Mystery of the Name “Phở”

The word phở has an intriguing etymology. When phở first appeared in the early 20th century, Confucian learning still dominated Vietnamese society. Two French Vietnamologists, P. Huard and M. Durand, analyzed the Nôm character for phở as being composed of three Chinese radicals:

Mễ (米) — rice,
Ngôn (言) — speech, and
Phổ (普) — common, popular.

Thus, phở in Nôm could mean “a rice-based dish popular among the people,” and its pronunciation was phổ.

Hanoi’s street vendors were famous for their melodic calls, often sung with rhythm and emotion. It is believed that the word phở evolved naturally from these cries — “Phố đây, phố ơ!” then “Phớ ơ!”, and eventually “Phở!” through the natural play of sound over time.

This explanation — that phở originated from the Vietnamese Nôm sound — remains one of the most logical and culturally grounded theories.

Phở — Over a Century of History

The word phở first appeared officially in print in the Vietnamese Dictionary (1930), published by the Khai Trí Tiến Đức Society in Hanoi. But how old is phở itself?

While no formal historical record marks its invention, several credible sources help estimate its age. Renowned writer Nguyễn Công Hoan (1903–1977) recalled:

“In 1913, when I lived at No.8 Hàng Hài Street, I sometimes had phở (from a street vendor’s basket). Each bowl cost two xu — three or five for a larger portion.”

Another witness was Nguyễn Văn Vĩnh (1882–1936), who wrote in a letter from Paris in 1906:

“Hearing the cries of street vendors here reminds me of home — of the morning calls of the phở sellers in Hanoi.”

Meanwhile, French researcher G. Dumoutier, known for his meticulous work on Vietnamese culture, affirmed that:

“Phở did not exist in Vietnam before 1907.”

These references collectively point to phở’s birth between 1900 and 1907, giving it a confirmed history of more than a century.

Supporting this, French artist Maurice Salge painted “The Phở Vendor of Hanoi” in 1913 — a vivid and convincing depiction of Hanoi’s nighttime street food culture.

Earlier dictionaries, such as Alexandre de Rhodes’ Vietnamese–Portuguese–Latin Dictionary (1651), Huỳnh Tịnh Của’s Vietnamese Dictionary (1895), and Genibrel’s French–Vietnamese Dictionary (1898), all lacked the word phở. It wasn’t until 1930 that it appeared in print, defined precisely as:

“A dish made of thin rice noodles cooked with beef.”

This further reinforces that phở could only have emerged in the early 20th century — confirming its proud age of over 110 years.

“Phở Day” — December 12

Japan celebrates April 4 as “Vietnam Phở Day.” So why shouldn’t Vietnam — the homeland of phở — have its own day to honor this national treasure of cuisine?

For that reason, on December 12, 2017, Tuổi Trẻ newspaper, in collaboration with Acecook Vietnam, launched the first “Day of Phở”, featuring seminars, exhibitions, and cultural events at White Palace, Ho Chi Minh City.

Since 2018, December 12 (12-12) has been celebrated annually as Vietnam’s Day of Phở — a festival honoring not just a dish, but a symbol of Vietnamese identity and soul.

D-Plate – The “Phở Bowl” of Heavy Industry

In Vietnam, phở is more than just food – it nurtures both body and spirit. A good bowl of phở is the harmony of many elements: a clear yet rich broth, soft noodles, tender meat, fresh herbs. No single ingredient can make phở on its own. It is the combination that creates true value.

Heavy industry works the same way. Gigantic machines in cement, mining, or steel production face a silent enemy: wear and abrasion. Falling rocks, ore impact, constant material flow – every steel component is tested daily. Ordinary steel alone cannot endure. It fails, breaks down, and costs millions in repairs and downtime.

That is where D-Plate comes in!

One Plate – Two Components

Base steel: tough, ductile, and easy to process – like the noodles forming the frame of the bowl.
Overlay alloy layer: rich in chromium and wear-resistant elements – like the broth, it defines durability and lifespan.

Together, they create an “industrial phở bowl” – strong, flexible, and ready to withstand the harshest conditions.

The Silent Armor

In a cement plant, every conveyor belt, clinker chute, and dust duct is under heavy abrasion. In mining, truck beds and transfer chutes endure constant impact. D-Plate is the silent armor for these parts. It does not boast or make noise, but those who use it know: with D-Plate, equipment runs longer, maintenance costs drop, and service life is extended.

The Secret of Endurance

If phở is delicious thanks to hours of simmering broth, D-Plate is durable thanks to POP (Powder Overlay Process) – BCC’s proprietary hardfacing technology. Each alloy layer is evenly applied, carbide crystals are precisely distributed, ensuring stable quality. Just like a perfectly simmered broth, every plate is consistently reliable..

More than Steel – A Promise

D-Plate is not just wear-resistant steel. It is the confidence that factories can operate without fear of sudden breakdowns, costly repairs, or long downtimes.

Like phở nourishes human health, D-Plate sustains the strength of industry – delivering assurance, stability, and durability, the values every heavy industry enterprise depends on.

D-Plate – Strong as Steel, Refined like Phở.

If phở is the symbol of harmony in life, then D-Plate is the symbol of durability in production – born from the right formula, the right technology, and the right spirit of innovation.

D-Plate Standard Workshop by BCC

In heavy industries such as cement, mining, steel, and coal-fired power, wear and abrasion are the silent enemies. A single component failure can bring an entire production line to a halt, causing losses worth millions. To tackle this challenge at its root, Bao Chi Company (BCC) has developed the D-Plate Standard Workshop – a comprehensive service package for the production and application of two-component hardfacing wear plates.

D-Plate – Powered by Proprietary POP Technology

Unlike conventional wear plates, D-Plate is manufactured using POP (Powder Overlay Process) – a hardfacing technology exclusively developed and mastered by BCC. This process applies a uniform chromium-carbide alloy overlay (HRC 58–60) firmly bonded to SS400 steel base plates, creating superior wear resistance, heat tolerance up to 250 °C, and extremely low abrasion loss (ASTM G65 < 0.35 g).

Wide Applications in Heavy Industries

D-Plate can be tailored to meet diverse harsh working conditions, especially in:

- Cement: feed chutes, clinker pipes, vertical mill liners, separator blades.

- Mining: hoppers, transfer chutes, conveyor systems, ore truck beds.

- Steel: slag chutes, ducts, high-temperature furnace parts.

- Coal-fired power plants: ash pipelines, fans, coal handling chutes.
