Oil & Gas Exploration
Extend Pump Life. Reduce Downtime. Resist Corrosion and Fatigue.
DYNA-BLUE® delivers unmatched wear, erosion, and corrosion resistance for high-pressure oilfield tools—helping operators cut drilling costs and improve component reliability in extreme environments.
Surface Treatments That Withstand the World’s Harshest Conditions
In the oil and gas industry, reliability isn’t optional. Pumps, plungers, and downhole tools are exposed to brutal wear conditions—from high-pressure cycling to chemical-laden fluids that corrode even the toughest metals. DYNA-BLUE® surface treatments provide the protection these components need to perform longer, safer, and more consistently—often increasing part life by 2–10 times compared to nitriding, QPQ, or traditional coatings.
Our treatment not only hardens the steel surface, but diffuses it deep into the material—creating a hard, ductile, corrosion-resistant layer that resists fatigue, cracking, and erosion over time.
A field test on high-pressure fluid ends compared DYNA-BLUE® with standard nitrided components. The nitrided fluid ends failed after just 300 hours due to cracking and fatigue. The DYNA-BLUE® treated fluid ends lasted over 1,800 hours with minimal wear or vibration. Operators reported quieter operation, better consistency, and fewer replacements—resulting in significant cost savings and longer uptime.
Why DYNA-BLUE® is a Game Changer in Oil & Gas Exploration
Oilfield Challenges We Solve
-
Mechanical and thermal fatigue
-
Erosion from sand, slurry, and fluid velocity
-
Galling and friction under pressure
-
Acid and saltwater corrosion
-
Cracking in high-cycle pumps and plungers
-
Premature failure in fluid ends and housings
DYNA-BLUE® creates a 75+ HRC compound zone supported by a nitrogen-rich diffusion layer (up to 0.015″ deep), resulting in superior wear, lubricity, and structural resilience-without any flaking or peeling like traditional coatings.
Key Benefits:
-
Resists erosion and abrasion 2-10x longer than nitriding or shot peening
-
Increases compressive residual stress to prevent fatigue cracking
-
Corrosion & wear resistance 2-3 times better compared to stainless steels.
-
Resists attack from hydrochloric acid, saltwater, and corrosive drilling fluids
-
Improves surface lubricity to reduce friction and galling
-
Uniform coverage-even in bores, pockets, and blind holes
-
No line-of-sight limitations like nitriding or chrome
-
Capacity: up to 77″ x 110″ and 30,000 lbs
-
Fast turnaround
-
ISO 9001:2015 certified
