Hardfacing – Wear Protection for Downhole and Industrial Tooling

Hardfacing is a wear-resistant overlay process used to protect components exposed to abrasion, erosion, and heavy contact loading. It is a highly effective solution to extend tool life and reduce the frequency of replacement in challenging drilling environments.

Scope of Service

• Hardfacing and overlay welding for wear protection

• Re-hardfacing for worn components

• Surface preparation, welding, and finishing support

• Wear-zone specific overlay solutions

Common Applications

• Stabilizer blades and wear pads

• Tool body OD protection

• Wear sleeves and contact surfaces

• Components exposed to abrasive formation conditions

Service Workflow

1. Surface cleaning and preparation

2. Inspection of wear zones and base material condition

3. Preheating (where applicable)

4. Hardfacing/overlay application

5. Controlled cooling and finishing

6. Final inspection and release

Quality & Inspection

• Visual inspection for cracks and discontinuities

• Overlay thickness verification (as applicable)

• Hardness checks on request

• Surface finish and coverage confirmation

FAQs

Q1: Can you re-hardface worn parts? A: Yes, re-hardfacing is possible after inspection of base material condition.

Q2: Which hardfacing type should be used? A: Selection depends on wear mechanism (abrasion/erosion/impact) and application zone.

Q3: Do you provide finishing after hardfacing? A: Yes, finishing and cleanup can be done based on component requirements.
