HARD BANDING & HARD FACING SERVICES
Hardbanding refers to the process of applying a layer of extremely durable metal onto a softer metal component, typically in areas subjected to heavy wear or abrasion. This is achieved through welding or other metallurgical methods, effectively creating a hard surface on a previously softer metal part.
We provide hardbanding services, also known as hard surfacing, tailored to your specific part or product requirements. Hardbanding can be an ideal solution when faced with unique challenges related to factors like weight, friction, durability, or budget constraints. Depending on your specific application, you can anticipate several advantages, including:
- Extended lifespan of components
- Reduced friction
- Minimized wear on neighboring or contacting components
- The possibility of using lighter-weight components
- Cost savings by utilizing more affordable base metals
Hard Facing: Hardfacing is a metalworking technique that involves applying harder or tougher materials, typically through welding, onto a base metal to enhance its resistance to wear. Various welding wires and techniques, such as arc welding and plasma transfer arc welding, are employed based on the application and wear patterns. Our skilled team can assist you in selecting the most suitable wire and application method for your stabilizers, kick pads, and bent subs.
When it comes to hard facing sleeves and mills, we specialize in dressing metal surfaces with tungsten carbide. Our workshop offers redressing services for stabilizer sleeves and mills.
