At 2016鈥檚 Offshore Technology Conference (OTC), Materion Corp. will introduce two ToughMet products engineered to improve the reach, reliability and accuracy of oil and gas equipment components.

ToughMet 3庐 TS 130, a new temper of Materion鈥檚 high strength, spinodally hardened copper-nickel-tin alloy, offers 10% 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庐 Large Diameter Bar offers very consistent properties throughout cross sections of the material 鈥� in diameters that more than double ToughMet size ranges 鈥� for greater versatility in more oil and gas applications, including larger drilling tool parts.

In September 2015, Materion introduced its patent-pending ToughMet 3 Sucker Rod Couplings, which extend coupling and production tubing life. Tested by Hess Corp. in North Dakota oilfields, the ToughMet couplings more than tripled the mean time between failures associated with couplings made of other materials.

鈥淎t Materion, we strive to deliver high quality products that meet the needs of our customers,鈥� said Bill Nielsen, Marketing Director for Bulk Products, Materion Performance Alloys. 鈥淐ustomers wanted a copper alloy that they could use for more components of their directional drilling tools. We modified ToughMet to get the strength and ductility they need. Customers have also been asking for larger diameter ToughMet bars for use in additional applications. We鈥檙e pleased to be able to introduce both of these options at OTC this year.鈥�
