Woodworth Inc. provides a wide range of heat treatment services through our three facilities. We are currently located in Pon ... tiac and Flint, Michigan, as well as Puebla, Mexico. We will soon be operational in Homer, Michigan. Woodworth Inc. services include: •Nanotechnology, specifically Nanowear ®, providing corrosion resistance to the oil and gas industry. •Ferritic nitrocarburizing (FNC) of brake rotors for the auto industry, resulting in greater performance of the rotor, enhanced durability, noise reduction, and decreased friction. The end result is longer life of the part, allowing extended warranty periods and rust-free brakes. •Ultrawear ® is applied to steel components to increase wear resistance. It also increases the material strength properties as well as increasing its resistance to corrosion. Woodworth is currently heat treating in excess of 1.5 million pounds per day Woodworth Incorporated’s Nanowear ® technology is a thermal chemical diffusion process. It is important to note that it is not a coating. Nanowear ® is a nanotechnology and alters the base material’s structure at the molecular level. •Creates a hard outside layer that can exceed Rockwell C 70 but remain ductile. •Creates a continuous layer of nitrogen at the surface to significantly reduce corrosion •Diffusion zone, typically 10 (ten) Rockwell points greater than the core hardness. •Nanowear ® is a “green” technology. Applications that can benefit: •Fluid End Bodies •Artificial Lift - ESP •Fluid End Valves and Seats •Offshore Housings •Centralizers •Blowout Preventer pistons, shafts, casings •Drilling Rig Bases •Pipelines •Wellhead Components •Drilling Rig Housing BENEFITS OF NANOWEAR® ON OIL & GAS APPLICATIONS •Increase fatigue resistance •Increase wear and decrease erosion •Increase corrosion resistance •Lower co-efficient of friction •Cost effectiveness •Can process parts up to 33 feet long by 8 feet tall and 8 feet wide, 150,000 pounds. read more
