| Investment cast parts for down-hole oil and gas exploration operations |
Kennametal Stellite provides a range of critical wear solutions for oil and gas exploration and production activities. These processes are typically very expensive to interrupt, which makes their effective protection from failure through the use of Kennametal Stellite wear solutions extremely valuable.
In the case of exploration and drilling, we provide a range of bespoke components, including drill string protection components, especially high value logging while drilling (LWD) and measuring while drilling (MWD) equipment, and drill bit washers for high speed roller cone drills.
For pumping and refining, we supply flapper safety valves used to prevent oil well blow-outs, wear components with valve ball and seats, and pumps, as well as material for hardfacing small components used in refining crackers.
