Drill-Pipe Hardbanding Wire (300XT/WC type)
Tungsten-carbide hardbanding wire for maximum tool-joint wear protection.
Material overview
Drill-Pipe Hardbanding Wire (300XT/WC type) is included in the Oil Drill Bit & Hardbanding Consumables catalog. Tungsten-carbide hardbanding wire for maximum tool-joint wear protection. Key characteristics for evaluation include HRC 60+ with WC particles, extreme abrasion, and for non-casing-contact zones. Typical applications include Open-hole / non-casing-contact hardbanding and severe abrasive drilling. The dataset currently includes 7 property records covering chemical composition and mechanical properties. Associated standards include A5.21, and product form records cover Flux-Cored Wire. Final chemistry, mechanical properties, heat treatment, dimensions, inspection, and documentation must be confirmed against the applicable specification and mill certificate.
