Oil Drilling Equipment Coatings
A hard-face super-stainless HVAF coating has been developed to withstand corrosion from salt and hydrogen sulfide, as well as abrasion met on housings of down-hole pumps and motors of oil drilling equipment. The coating exhibits bond strength over 12 KSI and hardness 52-55 HRC. Applied to 6 or 12 mils thickness, it is flexible enough to withstand deformation of elongated parts during handling and service.
The coating performance is proven in industry, where over 25 miles of housings have been already coated during these (past few) last years. Current coating production exceeds 2 miles of housings per month.
