Bodycote receives Cameron Schlumberger approval for coatings

Bodycote, the world’s largest thermal processing services provider, is pleased to announce Cameron Schlumberger has awarded approval for its coatings solutions, underlining the high standards of quality achieved.

Bodycote’s Knowsley facility is the centre of excellence providing thermal coatings and K-Tech ceramic coating solutions to oil & gas and industrial gas turbines. Bodycote has recently invested in a new process line to service the gates and seats markets.

In the oilfield, gate valves are constantly subjected to high pressures and hostile environmental conditions. To maintain a tight seal when open or closed, the valve stems, seats and gates must be protected from the elements at all times. Bodycote’s surface technology solutions provide sealing properties and superior resistance to hostile operating conditions causing corrosion, galling, and wear.

Bodycote Senior Vice President of Technical Services and Surface Technology, Phillippe Prince, commented: “We are delighted to be awarded with this prestigious supplier approval and look forward to supporting Cameron in surface coating solutions and specialist processes.”

Bodycote offers a comprehensive range of high-performance surface technologies to aviation, energy and other industries. By continuously advancing coatings technologies, Bodycote supports customers to improve their environmental performance, decrease energy consumption, extend component life, improve productivity, minimise downtime, reduce operating costs and produce high-quality components.
