HARD FACING OF STABILIZERS
PMM has developed different types of hard facings for stabilizer blades, each adapted to a specific use to meet your particular requirement.
PMM currently provides a solution to all problems of abrasion linked with drilling operations and equipment through different types of hard facings. Hard facing is also applied to the leading taper edge for additional protection.
Applications and Performances
HF 2000:
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:
Tungsten carbide inserts, set in a powder spray deposit. This spray deposit is ideal for abrasive formations.
HF 4000:
Tungsten carbide inserts (button type). The inserts have been developed to allow cold insertion and maintain close fit. A greater concentration of inserts on the bottom third of the blade and leading edge will increase surface contact to reduce wear in highly abrasive formations.
HF 5000:
This oxy-acetylene process applies tough molten carbide particles of varying sizes held in a nickel chrome matrix which provides excellent bonding properties and greater surface wear characteristics are achieved.
PMM Sleeve Stabilizers
HARD FACING OF STABILIZERS
Hard facing is essential for drill string stabilizers, improving wear resistance, service life, and gauge control. As one of the most wear-prone components in the Bottom Hole Assembly (BHA), the stabilizer needs a durable surface to withstand harsh downhole conditions.
PMM REPLACEABLE SLEEVE STABILIZERS
PMM Replaceable Sleeve Stabilizers offer easy maintenance and longer tool life through a removable sleeve design. The replaceable sleeve eliminates the need to scrap the entire tool, ensuring consistent gauge control and reduced downtime.
