    Production Chemicals   What is it? Production chemicals refer to the various chemicals that are used at different stages of oil and gas production, processing, transportation and refining. They play a vital role in enhancing production, protecting equipment and pipelines from corrosion, reducing scale formation and paraffin deposition, emulsion breaking, and ensuring efficient downstream operations. Some of the major categories of production chemicals include: Corrosion and Scale Inhibitors Corrosion of pipes, vessels and other Production Chemicals equipment can lead to leaks, equipment failure and environmental hazards. Corrosion inhibitors form a protective film or barrier on metal surfaces to prevent corrosion from occurring. They are commonly used to treat production streams, pipelines and refinery equipment. Scale inhibitors prevent the precipitation of insoluble salt scales on internals during production and processing. Common scales include calcium carbo...

Titanium Nitride Coating Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating is a hard ceramic material applied to various substrates to enhance their surface properties. Known for its distinctive gold color and remarkable properties, TiN coating is widely used across several industries, including aerospace, medical, automotive, and tool manufacturing. This article explores the applications and benefits of titanium nitride coating, highlighting its significance in modern technology. With machine parts that can be coated at temperatures between 425°C and 450°C, Calico Titanium Nitride (TiN), the mainstay of thin film coating, provides an answer to tribological issues. When excellent wear resistance and lubricity are required, calico TiN is typically applied to steel, hardened steel, and stainless steel components. When it comes to applications involving costly tools, including injection molding, sawing, tapping, and shaping, TiN is the standard for physical vapor deposition coatings. Applications of Tit...

  Titanium Nitride Coating   Introduction to Titanium Nitride Titanium nitride (TiN) is an extremely hard ceramic material that has found a wide range of applications in the engineering field since the 1970s. Formed from a reaction between titanium and nitrogen, TiN takes the form of a gold-colored solid that is renowned for its hardness, wear resistance and high-temperature stability properties. When applied as a coating through physical or chemical vapor deposition techniques, TiN transforms components and tools by imparting them with a golden hue and a remarkably tough, low-friction surface. Physical Properties of TiN Coatings Titanium Nitride Coating are incredibly durable due to the material's high degree of covalent bonding between titanium and nitrogen atoms. With a Vickers hardness rating ranging from 2500-3000 HV, TiN coatings are over four times harder than commonly-used high-speed steel and provide an exceptionally abrasion-resistant surface. The coatings also...
