Powder Materials

About Powder Materials for Oil & Gas

Powder materials used in oil and gas applications are typically selected for their corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, wear resistance, and thermal stability. Alloys such as titanium alloys, nickel-based superalloys, cobalt-based alloys, and iron-based powders are commonly used to manufacture or repair critical components including valves, pumps, flanges, drilling tools, and downhole equipment.

Titanium alloy powders such as Ti-6Al-4V offer excellent strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance, making them suitable for lightweight, corrosion-critical parts. Nickel-based powders such as Inconel 625 and Hastelloy C-276 are widely used in sour service and high-temperature environments due to their superior resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking. Cobalt-based powders provide excellent wear and corrosion resistance, while ferroalloy and FeNi powders are used for alloying, hardfacing, and magnetic or structural applications.
