Non-Magnetic Drill Collars & Products
Schoeller-Bleckmann high grade alloys P530, P550, P580, P560, and P750 are used for these very
sophisticated parts because of their proven mechanical safety and corrosion resistance. The standard P530
material has been enhanced with our P550 and P580 material. P550 has a higher chromium and nitrogen
content which provides better resistance to pitting corrosion additionally to better mechanical characteristics and
endurance strength. The new P650 alloy uses higher Mo and Ni contents to achieve outstanding mechanical
properties and corrosion resistance. Our P750 brand offers you an extraordinary competitive possibility to
common Ni-based alloys.
Schoeller-Bleckmann Non-Magnetic passes the sensitization tests as per: ASTM A 262 Practice A & E
COMPRESSIVE I.D. TREATMENT
Schoeller-Bleckmann Non-Magnetic or Steel material has a proprietary treatment to the inside

surface. The treatment imparts a compressive stress layer to a nominal depth of 4.75mm both
circumferentially and axially throughout. This substantial depth of compressive layer provides longer
lasting resistance to Stress Corrosion Cracking.

Barrel Stabilizer Sleeves
AVAILABLE FOR HOLE SIZES 8 1/2’’ – 26’’
The SBD “Barrel” sleeve system has been designed to overcome the logistics difficulties
normally associated with transportation, storage and related costs of stabilizers at the rig
site.
Developed from the original SBD rig replaceable sleeve and fully inter-changeable with
standard steel and non-magnetic mandrels “Barrel” sleeves may be used for both string
and near bit applications.
Manufactured from high grade alloy steel “Barrel” sleeves are used extensively in
directionally drilled wells where unconsolidated or badly faulted formations are being
drilled.
Field tests have shown that when used in conjunction with a mud motor and or steerable
system the long radius and constant curvature of the sleeve blades improve directional
control particularly during orientation and can reduce torque.
“Barrel” sleeves are by design easily made power tight on the rig floor by using a
conventional plate type sleeve breaker or tongs.
Features
1) Long radius constant curvature blade profile reduces

hang up, hole wall damage and increases R.O.P
2) Reduced fluctuation of W.O.B. caused by hang up

Integral Blade Stabilizers (Non Magnetic)
SBD Non-magnetic Integral Blade Stabilizers are manufactured from Chromium
Manganese Austenitic Stainless Steel.
Stabilizer Hardfacing
For Non-Magnetic Stabilizers, SBD recommend hardface dressing type

HF3000. This particular dressing comprises tungsten carbide inserts set in a
powder spray deposit, which is ideal for abrasive formations. Dressing
technique has been developed in-house to take full account of the chemical
composition of the material and the need for repeat re-dressings without
damage. This includes full temperature control of the parent body during the
pre-heating process and also throughout the complete dressing procedure.
Quality Assured Tools

Full quality control procedures are maintained throughout all production
processes and when HF3000 hardfacing is deposited, final ultrasonic inspection
is carried out to ensure that a minimum of 97% bonding of carbide inserts is
obtained. This is the SBD guarantee and each tool is certified to this effect.
Connections also receive full dye penetrant inspection and are finally coated
with an anti-galling treatment.
When ordering SBD stabilizers please specify:-

1) O/D, I/D + Neck O/D
2) Type of stabilizer (string or near bit)
3) Type of hardfacing
4) Spiral type
5) Connection type and size

Hardfacing Types
HF1000
Crushed tungsten carbide held in a nickel bronze matrix. The 3mm grain size
ensures greater concentration of carbide which is ideal for soft formation drilling.
- Section through hardfacing
HF2000
Trapezoidal tungsten carbide inserts held in a sintered carbide nickel bronze

matrix. This will give a greater depth of carbide coverage – ideal for high deviation
drilling in abrasive formations.
HF3000
Tungsten carbide inserts set in a powder spray deposit ideal for abrasive formations.
97% bonding guaranteed, certified by ultrasonic report. Recommended for non-
magnetic stabilizers.
HF4000
Tungsten carbide inserts (button type). The inserts have been developed to allow
cold insertion and maintain close fit. A greater concentration of inserts on the
button third of the blade and leading edge will increase surface contact to reduce
wear in highly abrasive formations.
HF5000
The oxy-acetylene process applies tough molten carbide particles of varying size
held in a nickel chrome matrix which provides excellent bonding properties and
greater surface wear characteristics are achieved. Surface hardness levels over 40
H R C. ideal for GEO-THERMAL applications over 35°C.

Hardfacing
The LaserCarb® process from Technogenia and used by Laser Cladding Technology Ltd through a partnership
agreement, has been chosen by Schoeller-Bleckmann Darron as a reference for the protection of their tools.
Part of the Group www.lasercladding.co.uk and www.technogenia.com
Laser Cladding or Laser Deposition is a processing technique used for adding one material to the surface of
another in a controlled manner.
A stream of a desired powder is fed into a focused laser beam as it is scanned across the target surface,
leaving behind a deposited coating of the chosen material.
This enables the applied material to be deposited selectively just where it is required.
Process Advantages
 Additional material can be placed precisely where desired.

 A very wide choice of different materials can be both deposited and deposited onto.
 Deposits are fully fused to the substrate with little or no porosity.
 Minimal heat input results in narrow HAZ (heat affected zone).
 Minimal heat input also results in limited distortion of the substrate and reduces the need for additional
corrective machining.
 Easy to automate and integrate into CAD/CAM and CNC production environments.
Capacity
External Deposit:
Diameter: Up to 1000mm
Length: Up to 12000mm
Weight: Up to 3000kg
Flat parts can also be accommodated
Internal Deposit:
Diameter: >50mm
Deposit Thickness: 0.5mm to 1.5mm per layer

Multiple layers can be deposited with certain materials.

Circulating Sub
The Darron Circulating Sub has been designed to achieve increased mud
circulation by placement in the B.H.A., either above the bit or down hole motor to
pump materials in case of lost circulation.
Activation is accomplished by dropping a chrome steel ball down the drill string
and then engaging the mud pumps. On application of 3000 psi fluid pressure, the
ball shears the pin holding the sleeve in its primary position. The sleeves and pin
drop into the secondary position opening the three sub ports and diverting the
downhole flow.
Darron Circulating subs are manufactured from AISI 4145 H modified material
fully heat treated to give 285-341 BHN are available in the same nominal
diameters as standard drill collars or to customers own specifications.
