WELDING & HARDFACING MATERIAL APPLICATIONS
PPE Hardbanding Services service line offers a variety of hardbanding Brand options – each determined by the customer need, downhole environment, region being drilled and the size and type of pipe.
Duraband NC, Tuffband NC –
Applications are crack free and casing friendly. They can be applied on most types of existing hardband applications. Unlike most re applications, to apply Duraband and Tuffband it is not necessary to remove the existing hardband applications, making these products a cost effective solution. Duraband with its high volume of tightly packed micro constituents is the better of the two products having less casing wear and tool joint wear. Tungsten carbide pellets can be applied to both of these products creating the ultimate wear resistance for the drill string in the open hole. Tri-drill, Services is NS-1 approved for new applications and re applications for both of these products at its Broussard facility.
Armacor M Star, Universal, others Products from Liquid Coating –
Applications are casing friendly products. The M Star deposits are not crack free and this application should be applied to non hardband tool joints or over the existing M Star deposits. The Universal is a crack free deposit and this application is appropriate for non hardbanded tool joints and over the existing Universal deposits.
Arnco 100XT, 150XT, 350XT –
Applications are crack free and casing friendly products. Arnco’s products are designed to cover a range of needs whether to have significant protection in casing wear or maximum protection for the drill pipe. These products are only applied on non-hardbanded tool joints or over existing Arnco products.
We offer different applications of Hard Coatings for Stabilizers and related tools, with the purpose that our clients can select the most appropriate according to their drilling needs.
RD 1000
Titanium Carbide immersed in a martensitic matrix which provides excellent resistance to wear caused by abrasion, impact and / or pressure. This application is ideal for drilling in high deviation and very abrasive formations.
RD 2000
Tungsten carbide immersed in a bronze matrix-nickel, with crushed carbide grains with an average of 0.118 "in diameter, ensures greater concentration of carbide. This application is ideal for drilling in high deviation and very abrasive formations.
RD 3000
Rectangular or trapezoidal tungsten carbide inserts and in combination with tungsten carbide immersed in a bronze-nickel matrix, with average grains 0.118 "in diameter. As a result, it will produce areas of greater resistance to the aggressiveness of abrasion. This application is ideal for drilling in high deviation and very abrasive formations.
