Product Innovations Offer More Design Flexibility for Oil and Gas
Equipment
Materion
Corporation (NYSE: MTRN), an advanced materials solutions provider, has
introduced two new ToughMet® products engineered to improve the reach,
reliability and accuracy of oil and gas equipment components. The new
products offer greater design flexibility and versatility for use in
more demanding oil and gas applications.
ToughMet 3 TS 130 is a new temper of the company’s high strength,
spinodally hardened copper-nickel-tin alloy that offers increased
ductility to withstand more strain in directional drilling tools. In
addition, the company now produces all of its ToughMet 3 TS tempers in
large diameter bars more than twice the diameter previously available.
ToughMet 3 was originally developed for use in oil and gas applications,
and the material continues to fuel innovative solutions that enhance
performance, production and profitability for Materion’s customers.
Last September, Materion introduced patent-pending ToughMet 3 Sucker Rod
Couplings that maximize oilfield production output and significantly
reduce the costs of well operations when used in place of sucker rod
couplings made of conventional steel materials. The couplings were
tested by Hess in oilfields in North Dakota where they significantly
minimized the frequency of workovers associated with couplings made of
other materials.
“At Materion, we strive to deliver high quality products that meet the
needs of our customers,” said W. Glenn Maxwell, President, Materion
Performance Metals. “Customers wanted a copper alloy that they could use
for more components in directional drilling tools. We modified ToughMet
to get the strength and ductility they need. Customers have also been
asking for larger diameter ToughMet bars for use in additional
applications. We’re pleased to introduce both of these options.”
