Drilling & Exploration Solutions for Mining
High performance materials for drilling and exploration
voestalpine tool steels are the ideal solution for many drilling components due to their superior wear resistance, toughness, and hardness. These properties ensure that drilling systems and tools, such as break out clamps and tong dies maintain their integrity under extreme conditions, leading to increased efficiency and reduced downtime.
Performance where is counts
voestalpine tool steels have a proven track record of providing solutions to the mining industry and are suitable for many drilling applications including:
- Breakout Clamps
- Tong Dies
- Recovery Tools
- Wiper Plates
This is only a small selection of the applications where voestalpine materials can be a game changer for your drilling applications.
