Arnco Technology made its initial industry breakthrough when it introduced the first generation of casing-friendly hardbanding in 1992, paving the way for a revolution in hardbanding technology. Since then, others have come up with their own casing-friendly hardbanding alloys, but Arnco has continued to innovate and has introduced three new versatile products since the 200XT broke into the market almost two decades ago.
As hardbanding technology has progressed, well-owners have virtually eliminated the concern for excessive wear on the well casing from drill pipe tool joints. Drilling contractors also can increasingly count on greatly extended tool joint protection without compromising casing integrity. However, newer and increasingly demanding drilling methods such as Directional, Horizontal, and Extended Reach Drilling (ERD) have created the opportunity for even further advancements in hardbanding alloys.
As the hardbanding market becomes increasingly competitive, producers will have to release new products that meet the demands of today's drilling practices.
