QuickTip for Cutting or Wear

Previous: QuickTip training

QuickTip performs exceptionally well in downhole conditions where sever abrasion is coupled with impact. QuickTip is able to withstand the impact and hold gauge for extended drilling hours.

QuickTip's high performance is the result of a number of factors:

  • 62% of the blade surface is covered with tungsten carbide
  • Sintered tungsten carbide is used as the wear medium
  • Large individual wear elements are used over an equivalent area of small grains - providing a significant improvement in wear resistance
  • Durability is achieved by using the hard and impact resistant tungsten carbide inserts, bonded using the high strength and resilient matrix bronze material
  • Quality of bonding can be inspected using ultrasonic inspection procedures before it leaves the shop

The QuickTip process is ideal for the application of metal cutting inserts to mills for finishing downhole remedial work. QuickTip allows the precise positioning of the inserts at room temperature.

When all the inserts are positioned perfectly, the job is preheated and the inserts are brazed using a braze of your choice.

We recommend nickel bronze for its high strength, fluidity and economy.

When cooled, the finished section can be ultrasonically examined to check the integrity of the bond.
