Abstract:
A composite piezoelectric coating (CPC) method includes entraining a powder in a first carrier gas stream; heating a second carrier gas stream to a predetermined temperature; combining the first carrier gas stream and second carrier gas stream into a combined carrier gas stream; ejecting the combined carrier gas stream at a target at a predetermined velocity, and consolidating the powder on the target by impact of the ejected combined carrier gas stream with the target.
Abstract:
A system may include a substrate having a tensile strength of at least 10,000 PSI at an ambient temperature. The system may also include a carbon rich layer deposited on the substrate, wherein the carbon rich layer comprises at least one of a carbide, a nitride, a boride, a silicide, an oxide, a sulfide, or a transition-metal or non-metal ceramic-forming element, wherein the carbon rich layer comprises a carbon content including sp2 carbon and sp3 carbon, wherein the carbon content has greater than 40% sp3 carbon, a sp2/sp3 ratio of the carbon content is less than 1.5, or both. The carbon-rich layer is designed to reduce or prevent the formation of adherent scales on flow system surfaces used in well production, fluid injection or gas sequestration, and includes electrically-actuated downhole components having dynamic sliding surfaces.

Abstract:
The disclosure provides for anti-scale deposition coatings for use on surface, such as on oilfield parts. The coating includes a first, sublayer of a metal, ceramic, or metal-ceramic composite, which is characterized in having a hardness in excess of 35 HRC. The coating includes a second, top layer over the first layer, that is a polymer. A surface of the first layer may be conditioned to have a roughened or patterned topology for receipt of and adherence with the at least one top layer. The first layer may provide the coating with hardness, and the at least one top layer may provide the coating with low-friction and anti-scale properties.
Abstract:
An oilfield tool can include a composite structure that includes a reactive shape-memory alloy element disposed at least in part in a filler material.

Abstract:
Embodiments of the present technology may include a method of improving tribological and corrosion properties of an oilfield tubular for conveying hydrocarbons. The method may include depositing a first layer comprising aluminum over a substrate. The substrate may include a ferrous alloy. The method may also include immersing the substrate and the first layer in an alkaline electrolytic liquid bath. The method may further include oxidizing a first portion of the first layer by micro arc oxidation to form a second layer over a second portion of the first layer. The second layer may include aluminum oxide. The oilfield tubular may include the substrate, the first layer, and the second layer.
