Founded in 1990, EUWELD® is the global specialist in alloyed cored welding wires. Each of our DRILL-SHIELD hardbanding wires is specifically formulated and produced in-house utilizing our own manufacturing technology and from extensive Oil & Gas industry knowledge.
DRILL-SHIELD® the ultimate protection for your drill string and casing.
Best in Class: tool joint protection
Superior wear performance
Titanium, vanadium, and niobium carbides
Lowest rotating friction factor in the industry, lower than a bare smooth 4137m tool joint (reduces torque while drilling)
Crack-free
Non-spalling or flaking
Re-applicable
High-grade raw materials / alloying elements
Industry-leading in-house manufacturing and quality control
