LASER HARDFACING OF OIL DRILLING EQUIPMENT

Part Dimensions & Base Material

The FLEXCELL robotic laser welding cell is designed to accommodate the following part dimensions...

• Length - up to 30 ft.
• Diameter - up to 18”
• Weight - up to 5 tons

...in a large variety of shapes and geometries.

HYPROTECT can be applied to a wide variety of base materials including stainless steels, inconel and other austenitic alloys

Non-Magnetic Cladding Materials

LWS is using the following materials for its hardfacing process:

• Super Bond - a Nickel based buffer alloy developed to:
• Enhance adhesion & impact resistance
• Compensate thermal stresses

• Super M-1 - a Nickel alloy matrix w/ spherical tungsten carbide particles designed to maximize abrasive wear resistance

• LASER DWC - a copper based alloy matrix w/ natural & synthetic diamonds 

Hardfacing Layer Dimensions

The HYPROTECT cladding process allows us to adapt clad layer dimensions exactly to customer specifications. The typical range for oil field applications are:

• Single Layer Thickness: 0.004” - 0.1” (0.1 - 2.5 mm)
• Single Track Width: 0.02” - 0.24” (0.5 - 6 mm)

Layers are stackable to further increase protection of the original surface.
