A Solution to Wear and Corrosion. The future is today!
Technological advancements have now made possible the next-generation of down-hole pumps for the oil industry. Applications of the new "E"-CARBON coating, a thin, dense composite of proprietary materials, onto standard pump components, have resulted in unprecedented increases in operational life.
The new "E"-CARBON surface coating, with a hardness of 92+ Rc, offers today's oil tooling design engineers and manufacturers the opportunity to achieve maximum performance levels with down-hole pump equipment. "E"-CARBON does not fracture or separate from base metals now being used by the petroleum industry. Bending impact and normal operational flexing will not cause the "E"-CARBON coating to chip or peel. "E"-CARBON operates successfully at temperatures up to 1400 F (775 C) with no adverse effects on either the coating or base metal integrity.
Unlike with other metals, opposing or mating surfaces coated with "E"-CARBON have a greatly reduced coefficient of friction. Pump components (i.e., barrels, plungers, balls and seats) which are subject to sliding and moving contact can be coated with "E"-CARBON and are much easier to assemble and disassemble; galling and fretting corrosion are essentially eliminated.
The "E"-CARBON coating is uniformly distributed over all surface areas. Deposit thickness tolerances are closely maintained and range between 0.001" and 0.002".
