Postalloy® Duraband® NC is a 100% crack-free hard band that provides maximum protection of the tool joint and casing. It’s microstructure consists of a hard, but tough tool steel matrix with a high volume of tightly packed micro-constituents. This combination ensures excellent wear resistance in open hole drilling as well as being casing friendly.
Duraband® NC is unique. It is *Fearnley Procter NS-1™ certified for new applications to tool joints and certified for re-application over itself and other hard band products as specified in the NS-1™ re-application approval certificates. It is the only product for maximum protection that is applied crack-free.

Nanocrystalline/amorphous alloy coatings are the foundation for Armacor products. They form a structure very different from crystalline alloy coatings used by other similar products. In the amorphous structure, atoms are randomly placed in a continuous coating, preventing corrosion-path grain boundaries. Armacor’s low coefficient of friction amorphous metals:

Arnco’s next generation hard banding products were designed to be non-cracking, high performance alloys that cover the spectrum of wear protection needs by end-users. Whether focused on casing wear reduction or drill string life extension, use of Arnco 150XT™ and 350XT™ produce real economic benefits for pipe owners and well operators. Easy initial and re-application combined with alloys designed to resist in-service damage result in reduced re-application costs over the drill pipe life cycle.

Hardbanding is a process of applying a layer of wear-resistant material to the surface of drill pipe, drill collars, and other drilling tubulars. This is typically done using a welding process, and the hardbanding material can be made from a variety of materials, including tungsten carbide, chromium carbide, and nickel-based alloys.
Hardbanding is used to extend the useful life of drilling tubulars and protect them from abrasion and wear. This is especially important in challenging drilling environments, such as those with hard formations or corrosive fluids.
Mobile hardbanding units are portable welding units that can be used to apply hardbanding to drilling tubulars in the field. This can save time and money, as it eliminates the need to ship the tubulars back and forth to a service center.
Here are some of the benefits of hardbanding:
Mobile hardbanding units are a convenient and cost-effective way to hardband drilling tubulars in the field. They offer a number of advantages over traditional hardbanding methods, including:
Hardbanding is a valuable tool for extending the life of drilling tubulars and improving drilling performance. Mobile hardbanding units make it easy and affordable to hardband tubulars in the field.
Casing-friendly hardbanding and mobile hardbanding units can significantly extend the life of drill strings and save money on transportation costs.
Casing-friendly hardbanding is a type of hardbanding that is designed to minimize wear on the casing. This can reduce casing wear from 14% without hardbanding to as little as 5% with the application of the appropriate alloy. This can significantly extend the life of drill strings and reduce the need for replacement.
Mobile hardbanding units are portable welding units that can be used to apply hardbanding to drilling tubulars in the field. This eliminates the need to ship the tubulars back and forth to a service center, which can save time and money.
Here are some of the benefits of using casing-friendly hardbanding and mobile hardbanding units:
If you are looking for a way to extend the life of your drill strings and save money, casing-friendly hardbanding and mobile hardbanding units are a great option.
Example:
A drilling company uses casing-friendly hardbanding and mobile hardbanding units on its drill strings. As a result, the company is able to extend the life of its drill strings by 50%. This saves the company millions of dollars each year in replacement costs and transportation costs.
