Oil & Gas
Premium Bright Steel Bars for Oil & Gas
In the oil and gas industry, precise machining is crucial for operational efficiency. Stancor Bright Bars offers the solution with our cold drawn, turned and centreless ground bright steel bars.
The wear problem
Components in the oil and gas sector often face wear from sliding abrasion and impact loads. This leads to premature failure; surfaces degrade quickly, requiring frequent maintenance and replacements.
Recommended plate by component
| Component | Grade | Thickness | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pump Shafts | 080M40 / C45 | 20-25 mm | This grade provides excellent toughness and wear resistance, extending service life. |
| Valve Components | 535A99 / 100Cr6 | 10-15 mm | Ensures high hardness and wear resistance, resulting in reduced maintenance frequency. |
| Bearing Sleeves | UNS S30300 / 1.4305 | 5-10 mm | Corrosion resistance enhances durability in harsh environments. |
| Sealing Rings | 817M40 / 34CrNiMo6 | 3-8 mm | Offers high strength and fatigue resistance for reliable performance under pressure. |
| Connector Rods | 709M40 / 42CrMo4 | 15-20 mm | Provides exceptional strength and wear resistance for heavy-duty applications. |
