METHOD OF HARDBANDING A TUBULAR COMPONENT AND A TUBULAR COMPONENT HARDBANDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE METHOD

摘要

A method of hardbanding a tubular component. The method involves placing a helical band of hardbanding material forming spaced coils around an exterior wear surface of a body of the tubular component. The helical band has a helix angle of not less than 5 degrees relative to a longitudinal axis of the tubular component and the spacing between the coils is a minimum of 18 mm.
