HWS
Heatless Welding Solutions - Revolutionizing Welding Products
- Rebuild the upsets on worn down workstring tubing connections
- Extend the upsets on workstring tubing connections to allow for more recuts
- Rebuild drill pipe tool joints without having to machine any threads or re-heat treat them
- Apply hardbanding over tool joints with Internal Plastic Coating (IPC)
The Heatless Welding Solutions (HWS) involve a patent-pending process that uses very low-heat
input. Standard Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) requires significant heat that can’t be used to apply multiple bands of weld material without altering the steel and changing its hardness.
Arnco’s HWS inputs so little heat that changes to the steel are no longer a factor, regardless of how many bands are applied. With this proprietary low-heat welding technique, tool joints can easily be made like-new again.
400XT™
Advanced Hardbanding Doesn´t Crack
- Doesn’t crack
- Best wear resistance of all products on the market
- Can be welded without shielding gas
- It is compatible with Duraband and TCS Titanium when applied over them
- Can be reapplied over itself without having to be removed first
A new low-cost, ultra-durable hardbanding product that doesn’t crack, Arnco 400XTTM.
Arnco 400XT has exceptional weldability, high hardness, and the best wear resistance of all products on the market. Unlike many of Arnco’s other products, 400XT can be welded without shielding gas. It is compatible with Duraband and TCS Titanium when applied over them, and because it doesn’t crack, 400XT can also be reapplied over itself without having to be removed first, as is necessary with 300XT.
350XT®
The Industry’s Leading Wear Resistant Hardbanding
- Compatible With Every Major Hardbanding Product
- Industry-Best Tool Joint Protection
- Very Casing-Friendly
- Non-Cracking (Single and Double Layer)
- No Spalling, Chipping, or Flaking
- Re-Application Without Previous Layer Removal
Arnco’s 350XT® is a metal-cored wire that produces a highly wear-resistant, hard (greater than 60 HRC), tough, and casing-friendly, NON-CRACKING deposit. The ability to achieve such exceptional durability, while being casing-friendly and crack-free, is metallurgically based on carbides and borides that produce a grain structure forming tightly arranged hard phases interspersed in a strong, ductile matrix. The small nature of the carbides and borides puts less stress on the matrix allowing for a crack-free deposit and superior durability. 350XT® can easily be applied on new tooljoints or re-applied over itself without removal of the previous layer. The material can also be applied over Arnco’s 100XT™ and 150XT™, as well as most comparable products with proper procedures. When applied, 350XT® produces a smooth, crack-free deposit with very little spatter, requiring minimal post-weld cleanup. With 350XT®’s best-in-class wear resistance for non-cracking hardbanding solutions, you won’t need to reapply as often as competing products, improving your ROI. As the most durable, casing-friendly, and non-cracking hardbanding solution on the market you can’t go wrong with Arnco’s 350XT®.
