product introduction
:LEANOMS
NQ drill rod, NQ wireline drill rod, NQ coring rod. NQ wireline drill rod play an important part in N size wireline drilling. It provides the channel for NQ inner tube assembly. It also transits the torque, drill pressure in complex and harsh conditions.
heat treatment
::LEANOMSWhat size is NQ?
The NQ drill rod has a standard outer diameter of approximately 2.375 inches or 60.3 millimeters. This size is commonly used in drilling operations in the mining and exploration industry.
The heat treatment process for NQ drill rods, like many other steel components used in demanding applications, involves several steps to enhance their mechanical properties and durability. Here's a general overview of the heat treatment method for NQ drill rods:
Annealing:
The drill rods are heated to a specific temperature to facilitate recrystallization of the steel structure.
This is followed by a controlled cooling process to relieve internal stresses and improve overall machinability.
Quenching:
The rods are rapidly cooled from a high temperature to achieve a hardened state.
Quenching involves using a medium such as water, oil, or polymer to cool the drill rods quickly.
Tempering:
The hardened drill rods are then heated to a lower temperature in a controlled environment.
This step imparts toughness and reduces the brittleness that can result from the quenching process
Surface Treatment:
Depending on the specific requirements, the surface of the drill rods may undergo additional treatments such as carburizing or nitriding to improve wear resistance.
