The bimetallic cylinder liner has broad application prospects for the following reasons:
1. Clear performance advantages: Combining the advantages of hot forging high wear outer sleeve and high chromium wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant inner sleeve, the outer sleeve is made of carbon steel hot pressed in one go, with high tensile strength; The inner sleeve is made of high chromium cast iron by centrifugal casting. After heat treatment, the hardness can reach HRC62 or above, and it can withstand high mud pressure. The inner surface is smooth, the inner hole size tolerance is strict, and the normal service life is long.
2. Widely used in mud pumps: Mud pumps are the "heart" of oilfield drilling systems, and bimetallic cylinder liners are important and easily worn components of the hydraulic end of mud pumps. They are currently one of the widely used and widely used hydraulic end fittings of mud pumps.
3. Adapt to various working conditions: able to meet the requirements of complex and harsh working conditions to a certain extent, such as in corrosive mud environments, its wear resistance, corrosion resistance and other properties help ensure the normal operation of equipment.
4. Relatively high cost-effectiveness: Compared to some high-performance but expensive cylinder liners (such as ceramic cylinder liners), bimetallic cylinder liners not only have good performance, but also have a price advantage, which helps to reduce the overall cost of drilling and other related operations.
However, with the continuous advancement of technology and further improvement of working conditions, bimetallic cylinder liners may also face some challenges and competition. For example, the continuous development of new materials such as ceramic cylinder liners may have a certain impact on the market share of bimetallic cylinder liners in certain specific fields. But in the foreseeable future, bimetallic cylinder liners will still be widely used in many fields and may further enhance their performance and competitiveness through technological improvements and innovations.
