DURUM Verschleiss-Schutz GmbH Wear Solution with Creative Ideas for Practical Solutions DURUM Verschleiss-Schutz GmbH was established in Mettmann near Dusseldorf, Germany in 1984 as a manufacturer and seller of advanced hardfacing products to the German and wider European markets. That same year, DURUM started exporting to more than 10 European countries and from 1986 to Singapore, Thailand, Australia and other overseas markets. Today DURUM has production and service centres in Brazil, France and the USA and exports to the more than 60 countries all over the world! DURUM provides high performance welding and surfacing wires and powders and is a global market leader in the supply of specialized non-magnetic overlays that can be applied by a range of processes including: Flux Cored Wire Plasma Transferred Arc (PTA) Welding Oxy-fuel welding Thermal spray (powder and wire) The company employs national and international PhD s; welding engineers and independent experts from well known and respected universities, which ensures that constant material and process development is achieved to the highest standards. DURUM maintains production and workshop facilities through its subsidiaries in Brazil (Sao Paulo), France (Saint Victor) and the USA (Houston TX). We also support a network of independent agencies throughout the world, guaranteeing the propagation of correct production techniques and excellence of customer service. 1 2012 DURUM VERSCHLEISS-SCHUTZ GMBH
DURMAT INC. Made with Pride in the USA DURUM Germany recognized that to satisfy the needs of the large and important US market an independent local company should be established to promote similar products and services offered by DURUM in Europe. DURUM USA s initial foray into the Industry began in 1992 concentrating primarily on providing customer-focused solutions related to exploration efforts. To be successful in this endeavor, DURUM realized early on that it was necessary to determine the extent to which the product offerings met the customers needs and expectations as well as the emphasis needed to produce a unique advantage. Through innovation and the commitment to quality, productivity and customer service DURUM USA, along with the rest of the International DURUM Community has become an industry leader regarding hard material products and services. Leveraging manufacturing facilities in Europe, the United States and South America allows DURUM to efficiently deliver innovative solutions worldwide. Our wide range of specialized surface hard-facing materials includes: Tungsten Carbide Rods for Oxy-acetylene Welding Nickel, Cobalt and Iron based Flux Cored Wire FCAW wires with Tungsten Carbide and complex carbides to provide extremely hard and tough coatings, used principially for extreme wear applications Tungsten Carbide, complex carbide and chromium carbides for manual arc welding PTA welding powders PTA machines, torches and powder feeders Powders for oxy-acetylene welding and spraying Fused Crushed and Spherical Tungsten Carbides Pre-manufactured replacement wear parts Thermal spray powders (conforming to DIN EN 1274) Thermal spray wires (conforming to DIN EN 14919) 2 2012 DURUM VERSCHLEISS-SCHUTZ GMBH
Development Parts commonly repaired include string/near bit stabilizers, sleeves and other specialized directional drilling wear parts. For over a decade, in conjunction with our customers, we have engineered the technology of applying DURMAT NIFD wire across a wide array of oilfield equipment. Innovative applications include surface coating the OD and ID of wear sleeves for mud pump motors (lower and upper bearing). These sleeves are then diamond-ground to optimise an exceptionally long-lasting performance solution. Typical Applications for DURUM hard-facing consumables: Drill-pipe tool-joints (low-friction, low wear) Stabilizers (regular, austenitic, non-magnetic) Radial Bearings OD and ID Fishing Tools (over-shots, spears, under-shots) Cutting and Milling tools Hole Openers Reamers Tri-cone Drill bits (teeth, shirt-tales) PDC bits (tungsten powders) Thermal Desorption Cuttings Treatment Mill 3 2012 DURUM VERSCHLEISS-SCHUTZ GMBH
Wear Solutions Today we have a world-class solution developed for every aspect of wear typically encountered throughout the oil and gas industry that meets and exceeds the customer expectations. DURMAT Laser Like Overlays For over 25 years we have engineered a broad range of wear solution products for a large variety of applications including: Specially created smooth casing-friendly overlays for tool-joints operating in cased holes and incredibly wear resistant overlays for the most challenging open-hole conditions Specialized products for the manufacture of PDC and Tricone Bits New, highly automated PTA stabilizer hardfacings that are more than a match for traditional, manually built thermal dressings (as proven in recent tool-for-tool trials under real downhole conditions) Comprehensive wear protection solutions for Thermal Cuttings Treatment mills, now adopted as manufacturer specification. DURUM is one of the market leaders in the repair of nonmagnetic tools and parts used in the oil and gas industry. As a result of applying specially developed products we can now offer our clients the unique ability to salvage magnetic and non-magnetic parts that would otherwise have been scrapped. This represents a major breakthrough in our research and development program and a significant cost benefit to our client. For example: Material overlays on thin non-magnetic parts ensure reduced wear and extended / re-usable part life Application of precise and uniform metal overlays to resize tools such as stabilizers to a thickness of over 5 mm 4 2012 DURUM VERSCHLEISS-SCHUTZ GMBH
Radial Bearing We meet the demanding requirements of today s oil and gas industry with a wide array of welding technologies including Flux Cored Wire, PTA (Plasma Transferred Arc) and our more traditional oxy-acetylene technologies; including Thermal Spray Powders and Wire. Lower Bearing scraped (gray area remaining coating) Repaired and returned to service ID and OD Welding For over a decade, in conjunction with our customers, we have engineered the technology of applying DURMAT NIFD wire across a wide array of oilfield equipment.

Drill pipe hardfacing DURMAT Casing friendly Hardfacing Wires are specially developed to reduce casing wear and to extend life of tool-joints. With the experience of more than 25 years in producing Hardfacing Wires for all kinds of industrial applications DURUM is offering a wide range of crack-free iron based hardfacing wires. Most wires are Open Arc (no extra shielding gas or flux required) and some wires can be applied and reapplied on itself. DURUM understands the requirements of the down hole drilling industry and can provide you with unique types of wires made to your specifications. Reduced Casing wear Crack-free Application Ease of Field Application Wires Visually crack-free Extended tool-joint life Cost effective Applied onto internally coated pipes Durmat Open Hole DURMAT Open Hole Non Casing Friendly Hard-facing Wires Tungsten Carbide based Flux Cored Wires for the best resistance to corrosive and hardest abrasive wear attack available on the market. Providing the best protection against wear and corrosion for tools and components running open-hole. Using extra hard and wear resistant tungsten carbide in combination with very fine dispensed special carbide provides the highest wear protection available in the industry. Highest Tool-Joint protection Visually Crack-free Nonspalling Can be reapplied on itself Corrosion Resistant Previous hard banding (corrosion damage) DURMAT AS - 760 as welded DURMAT AS - 760 after 15,000 meters 6 2012 DURUM VERSCHLEISS-SCHUTZ GMBH
