Baker Hughes, Masoneilan have announced that the latest technology innovation of 74000 Series, Erosion Resistant Solutions, is now available for performance enhancing control.
In coordination with the Baker Hughes additive technology lab, Masoneilan has developed a proprietary additive metal layering technology delivered through a digital metal printing process that uses laser directed energy to fuse powdered metal tungsten carbide onto an Inconel substrate. Where the service conditions and eroding fluid of residual hydrocracking has quickly destroyed lesser designs, this solution surrounds the proven fluted trim design with an additive cladding that will measurably extend the service life of the product.
“The digital technology behind this solution is nothing less than game changing for our brand and our served industries,” comments Don Sanders, Masoneilan Sr. Product Manager. “In the pursuit of truly differentiated products, additive manufacturing provides the platform to bring these solutions to market, giving our partner customers confidence to label their systems: Process Controlled!”
