Cemented Carbide Wear Parts Play an Important Role In Oil and Gas Industry

In Oil and Gas Industry, No Material Can Instead of Carbide Wear Parts,

Do you agree?

Energy is the basis for human survival. Oil and gas energy is not inexhaustible, more and more energy sources are more difficult to extract, and the requirements for tools under extreme working conditions are constantly increasing.

With the increase in oil extraction, the shallow surface oil decreases. In order to ensure the oil usage, people gradually develop into large and deep wells and highly inclined wells. However, the difficulty of extracting oil is gradually increasing. Therefore, the parts and components required for oil extraction have good requirements. The wear resistance, corrosion resistance or impact resistance etc.

Cemented carbide has a wide range of applications in the oil and gas sector. Due to their excellent wear resistance, high-temperature stability, and corrosion resistance, they play a vital role in the process of oil and gas exploration, drilling, production, and transportation.

Tungsten carbide parts have high wear resistance, strong corrosion resistance, and good sealing performance, and play an irreplaceable important role in the energy field, Good logistics stability is the basic guarantee of wear resistance. It has high hardness, high tensile strength, high compressive strength, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, which can better meet the needs of industries such as drilling and production of oil and natural gas. Special requirements for friction and wear-resistant parts of all mechanical equipment, especially for precision production and use of wear-resistant and sealed parts.

What are the advantages of Zzbetter tungsten carbide spare parts in the oil and gas industry?

1. Special grades

Zzbetter carbide developed different grades of the carbide wear parts depending on its application in different parts. Our carbide wear parts work very well under extreme working conditions. 

We have different types that can be used in wellhead valves, MWD/LWD, RSS, mud motor, FRAC, etc. Cemented carbide products mainly include nozzles, radial bearings, PDC bearings,valve seats, plug and sleeves, poppets, valve trims, sealing rings, cage, wear pads, etc.

2. Special surface treatment

 In order to adapt to working conditions such as wear resistance and high-temperature resistance, acid and corrosion resistance, especially for the erosion of corrosive fluids such as mud fluid, it is often necessary to strengthen the surface of tools and parts to make them more durable. Suitable for harsh working conditions in the petroleum industry, Zzbetter has a variety of surface-strengthening technologies. For example, plasma (PTA) surfacing, supersonic (HVOF) spraying, gas shielded welding, flame cladding, vacuum cladding, etc., and provide customers with solutions to various difficulties schemes. 

3. Special composite parts of metal and tungsten carbide

In order to meet the requirements of the working condition, some customers need durable and high bending strength, so we will combine the hot inserting of steel parts and cemented carbide together. This method can help customers save on production costs too.

Zzbetter also provides different brazing materials, high-frequency induction brazing, flame brazing, resistance brazing, vacuum brazing, and other technologies that are applied to products.

Its shear strength ≥ 200MPa, steel + hard alloy, steel + PDC, PDC + hard alloy,

Cemented carbide + cemented carbide, steel + steel, and other technical process combinations,it can be flexibly applied to different working conditions and product requirements of customers, providing customers with more comprehensive and high-quality precision parts and assembly parts.

Zzbetter is a supplier that has rich experience in producing carbide parts for the oil and gas industries, where the durability of hard metal products makes them suitable to use in hostile subsea engineering environments. Tungsten carbide is used to manufacture extremely hardwearing components such as control valves, liners, and bearing housings for use in exploration and flow control applications. We produce numerous specialized tungsten carbide wear part components and sub-assemblies for use within oil and gas exploration and control valve industries.

Products for control flow include cages, pistons, seat rings, and highly engineered carbide assemblies.

Products for drilling include choke valves, mud nozzles, and stabilizer inserts, providing wear protection for downhole tools.

It is a huge project of exploratory drilling of natural resources, like petroleum and gas, and the working conditions are quite harsh as well. In order to make the equipment work more efficiently and longer, high-quality parts are quite necessary. The tungsten carbide part has good performance in sealing, anti-abrasion, and anti-corrosion, so it plays an irreplaceable role in these industries.

Tungsten carbide wear parts, as wear-resistant parts, have great stability, which is the basic ensure of anti-abrasion. Its performance of high hardness, tensile strength, anti-corrosion, and anti-abrasion can better meet the special requirements of mechanical equipment during exploratory drilling. Tungsten carbide parts can be lapped to a mirror finish(Ra＜0.8), and sustain the shape and size for longer working time. It reflects excellent performance as precision parts, which can increase working efficiency and decrease the production cost in the long term.

Besides, tungsten carbide is also to be regarded as Industrial teeth. It is very important in drilling and mining tools. Those tools for excavation and cutting are mainly used in all kinds of complicated stratum and concrete structures. Under extreme working conditions, various performances of tungsten carbide parts need to be improved to ensure a longer working lifetime.

Many oil and gas facilities are used in extreme environments, they require anti-corrosion not only from sand or particles but also from chemicals. While, tungsten carbide mechanical parts can perfectly meet the demands of the oil and gas industry, and have already been widely used.

Tungsten carbide wear parts have played an important role in the oil and gas industry. Now, more important, cause the physical performance better and better. No Material Can Instead of Carbide Wear Parts, if you don’t agree, would you please tell us what material can and why?

Looking forward to hearing your comments.
