The project proposes the commercialisation of an innovative coating for a new generation ofhardfacing materials for oil drilling tools. Oil and gas drilling tools need protection fromextreme abrasive wear and erosion, and current hard facing materials no longer provide therequired equipment life. Some critical drill string components need replacement after everydrilling program which inflicts very high down-time costs. With 3500 drilling rigs operatingworldwide the market need is large. With increasing drilling activity in deeper and more demanding drilling conditions the need for advanced hard facing is becoming greater.This project proposes establishing prototype facilities in the UK to produce new generationadvanced hard-facing materials to enable Hardide to supply the oil industry globally, as wellas producers of mining equipment, core drills, and stone cutting tools.When in the full-scale production the sales potential is estimated at £4.5m to £6m pa. ThisProject will open up new opportunities for other hard materials development.The Project is expected to have a wider economic effect beyond Hardide business. The new hardfacing material can help UK companies – producers of drilling and down-hole tools for Oil and Gas industry, tools and wear parts for mining and construction – to make their products more competitive. The project outcomes will contribute to developing UK skills in advanced materials and engineering, and create new jobs in UK high-value manufacturing. It will also bring environmental benefits, as more durable tools mean less scrap, less energy and materials waste.Hardide has conducted laboratory development of the technology on which this project isbased over the last 5 years, and the technology is internationally patented.Hardide Coatings Ltd is a leading UK producer of patented Chemical Vapour Deposition(CVD) coatings for oil industry, heavy-duty pumps, valves and aircraft parts.

该项目提出了新一代石油钻井工具耐磨堆焊材料的创新涂层的商业化。石油和天然气钻井工具需要保护免受极端的磨料磨损和侵蚀，而目前的硬面材料不再提供所需的设备寿命。一些关键的钻柱组件需要更换后，每个钻井程序，造成非常高的停机时间成本。全球有3500台钻机在运行，市场需求很大。随着钻探活动在更深和更苛刻的钻探条件下的增加，对先进硬面的需求也越来越大。该项目建议在英国建立原型设施，生产新一代先进硬面材料，使Hardide能够供应全球石油工业，以及采矿设备，岩心钻机，和石材切割工具。在全面生产时，销售潜力估计为每年450万至600万英镑。该项目将为其他硬质材料的开发提供新的机遇，预计该项目将产生比硬质合金业务更广泛的经济效应。新的耐磨堆焊材料可以帮助英国公司-石油和天然气行业的钻井和井下工具，采矿和建筑工具和耐磨零件的生产商-使他们的产品更具竞争力。该项目的成果将有助于发展英国在先进材料和工程方面的技能，并在英国高价值制造业创造新的就业机会。这也将带来环境效益，因为更耐用的工具意味着更少的废料，更少的能源和材料浪费。Hardide在过去的5年里对该项目所基于的技术进行了实验室开发，该技术已获得国际专利。Hardide Coatings Ltd是英国领先的专利化学气相沉积（CVD）涂层生产商，用于石油工业，重型泵，阀门和飞机零件。
