White Paper: Cost of Ownership for Drill String Components Subject to Extreme Wear Environments
Subjected to extreme in-service conditions, drill string stabilizers require special protective coatings to ensure performance and survivability in some of the most severe environments on earth. The impact of the technical decisions of coating type and deposition technology can have a significant impact on the run time hours for new components, the repair cycles, and overall service lifetime of a drill string stabilizer, all of which affect ownership costs. Read the White Paper to discover how laser cladding can provide the lowest total cost of ownership for drill string components. Download this white paper >
