Functional coating solutions

The objective of a coating is to protect the base material of components used in offshore environments against seawater corrosion, heavy wear, abrasion, galling and slurry erosion. Coating solutions considerably increase the lifetime and efficiency of downhole tools, drill parts and valves, as well as reduce replacement and repair costs.

The Oerlikon Metco solution protects piston rods from saltwater corrosion and wear.
As wear occurs, the efficiency of down hole tools decreases. Protect your drill parts with Oerlikon Metco’s abrasion-resistant and slurry erosion-resistant materials.
Drill collars are used in extremely harsh environments. To extend service life, Oerlikon Metco offers abrasion-resistant and slurry erosion-resistant materials.
Oerlikon Metco solutions ensure smooth valve actuation and protect gates and seats from galling, corrosion and wear.
Mandrels are exposed to abrasion, slurry erosion and seawater corrosion. Oerlikon Metco carbide materials protect surfaces against damage caused by harsh environments.

Riser tensioners

It is essential that riser tensioner rods are adequately protected against the corrosive effects of saltwater erosion and deterioration from rugged environments to maintain performance. Oerlikon Metco’s coatings ensure smooth piston actuation, even after the rod has experienced prolonged exposure to saltwater. Other coatings, using thermal spray materials, can be applied using HVOF or atmospheric plasma spray equipment and machined to achieve a smooth finish.

Drill parts

Drill parts must resist extreme loads, which require weld surfacing processes to increase abrasion and erosion resistance. Surface protection with welding rods for oxyacetylene welding, cored wires for MIG welding and carbide materials, PTA and laser cladding blend materials result in longer service life and reduced repair costs.

Oerlikon Metco has a large variety of coating solutions to suit each client’s equipment, including plasma heat treatment, laser cladding services, diamond-like carbon coatings, and physical vapour deposition and thermal spray coatings.

Gate valves

To prevent leakage or faulty activation, thermal spray coatings are applied to gates and seats. Oerlikon Metco’s tungsten and chromium-based carbide materials ensure protection from galling, corrosion and wear. Applying thermal spray coatings using HVOF gas or liquid fuel equipment and materials result in dense, homogeneous coatings with good bond strengths.

Mandrels / stabilisers for supporting drill string tools

Our tungsten carbide materials are designed to produce coatings that are wear-resistant in a seawater environment and corrosion resistant in alkaline or acidic environments. Surfaces of mandrels / stabilisers that support essential drill string tools benefit from increased drilling uptime, extended service life and reduced replacement costs by using thermal sprayed coatings.
