Materion Corp., an Ohio-based advanced materials solutions provider, will introduce two new ToughMet products engineered to improve the reach, reliability and accuracy of oil and gas (O&G) equipment components at this yearÂ’s Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) in Houston, Texas.
• ToughMet 3 TS 130, a new temper of Materion’s high strength, spinodally hardened copper-nickel-tin alloy, offers 10 percent greater ductility and yield strength of 140 ksi. This new temper can handle more strain in directional drilling tools, without galling or corrosion.
• ToughMet 3® Large Diameter Bar offers very consistent properties throughout cross sections of the material – in diameters that more than double ToughMet size ranges – for greater versatility in more oil and gas applications, including larger drilling tool parts.
ToughMet 3 was originally developed for oil and gas applications, and it continues to fuel innovative solutions that enhance performance, production and profitability for the companyÂ’s customers.
