Composite rods for reinforcement of drilling tools.
WFM Composite Rods – are crushed solid alloy of a certain fractional composition, which is filled with brass solder. These rods are used for reinforcement of the drilling tool for well workover and downhole drilling system.
Below are the technical data of composite rods for reinforcing drilling tools.
