Friction Welded DTH Drill Rods in Africa
Friction Welded DTH Drill Rods in Africa
Hitu Engineering is the top supplier of friction welded DTH drill rods in Africa. Our drill rods are widely used by our customers in multiple countries in Africa for mining, exploration, building construction, quarrying, and water well drilling applications. As we use the friction welding technique, it provides advantages in terms of joint integrity that allow clients to minimize their operational expenditures and maximize the productivity of their drilling operations.
Why We Apply Friction Welding To Drill Rods
Friction welding is superior to other welding techniques when making drill rods. The strength of a drill rod is determined by the reliability of the joint between the tube and the threaded part of the rod. The joint has to sustain constant impacts, vibrations, twists, and cyclic loads in the process. An unreliable weld can result in very costly failures.
- Friction welding causes the formation of a bond by joining two solid materials without their melting, producing stronger joints that can withstand increased loads when drilling heavy sections and hammering down
- Drilling rods are usually constantly undergoing various stresses. Friction welding enhances the performance of the joint and prolongs its life, making cracks and failures less likely to appear during long working periods.
- Different from traditional welding methods, friction welding is a controlled and repeatable process, as every weld should be made in specific conditions.
- Proper alignment of the rod body and its wearing parts is crucial for a normal drilling operation. Friction welding can ensure that the rod is concentric, thus limiting vibrations and allowing for making the drilling process more efficient.
- Stronger welds mean fewer failures in the field, allowing for a longer lifetime of the rods.
- Reliable drilling rods prevent unexpected breakdowns, decrease maintenance costs and increase the service life of equipment.
