The deposit offers a very high wear resistance. The alloy system offers a unique re-application capability where previously coated but now worn tools can easily be refurbished.Typical applications are down hole tools such as stabilizers, hole openers and reamers, gauge applications on casing mills and other milling tools.
Surface Preparation
The first important consideration in working with the Composite Rod is cleaning. The areas to be overlaid must be thoroughly cleaned of grease, oxide, scale or other foreign matter. Any method may be used for cleaning which will result in essentially a base metal surface. Fluxes will clean metal to a certain extent, but superior results will be evident from thorough precleaning.
Flux Coated
FLUX Flux serves two main purposes. The first is to remove all foreign elements from the surface to be coated. The second is to prevent oxidation of the surface being coated. If an area is left unfluxed, the torch heat will rapidly oxidize the base material and prevent adhesion of the Composite Rod material to the base material.
