Oil and gas drilling

Users and manufacturers of drilling equipment seek to protect their tools with ultra-high-performance hard facing materials that are easy to use and ensure outs standing abrasion resistance under extreme conditions. Parts protected in this way are easy to repair

HF 1000

Crushed Tungsten Carbides are fused together within a tough polycrystalline matrix of nickel. The 3mm grain size ensures greater concentration of carbide which is ideal for soft formation drilling.

HF 2000 

Geothermal Dressing: trapezoidal tungsten carbide inserts are held in a sintered carbide nickel bronze matrix. This will give a greater depth of carbide coverage – ideal for high deviation drilling in abrasive formations.

HF 3000 

Castolin: Cemented Tungsten Carbide inserts (TCI) embedded by powder spray deposit made of Nickel-Chrome based alloy, for very highly abrasive formations, recommended also for nonmagnetic steel body application

HF 5000: 

Castolin HF-5000 Manually applied WC-Wire rope process, medium to larger size tungsten carbide (WC) particles embedded in a nickel matrix. Type 5000 Hard facing is in a form of a Nickel core flexible wire rope.
