Elevator links are critical to oil field and gas well operations as they are used in the lifting and lowering of drill pipes. Without these vital components, operations quickly halt. The intermittent stresses placed on the links necessitate exceptional strength and impact resistance. Hardening with Bodycote's S3P process is used to deliver these properties. After which, straightening and de-twisting operations ensure the dimensional requirements are met for field operations.
Process solutions for this component include:
