Oil & Gas Equipment Manufacturing
Natural resource development materials engineers are challenged with designing components for one of the most complex and hostile environments possible. Delays or accidents stemming from equipment wear, malfunction or failure on an offshore oil platform can have severe implications, both economically and environmentally. As a result, functionality and reliability of critical equipment is an absolute necessity and requires the best material.
The Materion Corporation Solution
Due to our decades of market experience and unsurpassed technical knowledge of the characteristics and applications of alloys, engineers worldwide specify Materion Corporation’s products to solve the challenges connected with natural resource development and production.Our alloys are used by every major oil and oilfield service company for natural resource exploration, drilling, completion and production equipment. In fact, their use continues to grow, as exploration industry faces greater demands for drilling in deeper water, in deeper wells and more challenging well environments.
Materion Corporation alloys, available in rod, bar and tube forms, are featured in applications including:
- Coiled tubing for umbilicals, gas well capillary strings, control tubing and fiber optic shielding
- Completion and production equipment
- Drill bit bearings
- Drill string centralizers, stabilizers, shock collars and connection thread savers
- Drill string non-magnetic, non-galling down hole disconnect collars
- Electrical and electronic connectors
- Expandable well casing equipment components
- Fasteners
- Kelly valve seats
- Non-magnetic motor flex drive shaft and mud motor components
- Non-magnetic pressure housings for down hole electronics and batteries in measurement while drilling (MWD) tools, logging while drilling (LWD) tools and horizontal directional drilling (HDD) steering tools
- Reservoir completion and formation isolation valve indexers
- Rotary steerable drilling tool hardware
- Shaped charge liners and perforation guns
- Sour service sucker rods and polished rods
- Subsea BOP locking rings
- Subsea valve gates, actuators, seats and well control manifold hydraulic connectors
Why Materion Corporation?
Materion Corporation alloys 25 AT, 25 HT, 25 DST (Drill String Temper) and ToughMet® 3AT, 3TS and 3CX are used in this market because of their excellent quality, consistent reliability and unique combination of properties, including:
- Ability to be joined by welding, brazing and soldering
- High fracture toughness and fatigue crack propagation resistance, from cryogenic to elevated temperatures
- High hardness, excellent wear resistance and cavitation erosion resistance
- Highest modulus of resiliency in commercially available metals
- High tensile, compressive, shear, fatigue and corrosion fatigue strength combined with good ductility
- High torque threaded connection make-up capability
- Magnetic permeability near unity
- Non-galling/non-seizing to metals such as austenitic stainless steels, nickel, titanium and aluminum alloys, and HVOF coated steels
- Resistance to chloride stress cracking and pitting
- Resistance to hydrogen embrittlement and stress corrosion cracking in sour environments
- Resistance to sea water corrosion and hydrogen embrittlement, even in cathodically protected systems
- Stable coefficient of friction when mated with other materials over a wide range of speeds and loads
Plus, compared to competitor alloys such as steel, there is no ductile/brittle fracture transition behavior.
