Our Story

Surface Resistance Technologies specializes in extending the service life of metals that can be damaged from erosion and/or corrosion. We have the expertise on staff that specializes with degradation of materials, welding and metallurgical engineering, and we utilize the best technology and applications to extend the service life of various metal components. Whether its tubular components used for oil and gas drilling, construction and excavation equipment or mining equipment, our specialty is to extend the life of components so that our clients can realize increased profits by reducing the need for replacement parts and minimizing downtime.

SRT not only provides service, we also have our own product line that consists of specially formulated metallurgical powders and wires specially designed for hard surfacing applications. We also have patent pending tungsten carbide tiles and inserts used for extreme wear resistant applications. SRT tile designs are proven to aide with achieving better fusion coverage of the entire tile, specifically in the very bottom of the tile where fusion is harder to achieve.

At SRT we put the extra effort in our objective to ensure that our products and services are “Above the Competition!”

Our Quality

SRT’s Quality Management System (QMS) is in compliance with most comprehensive quality management systems i.e. API Q1, ISO 9001:2015, and the Code of Federal Regulations – 10 CFR 50, Appendix B. Not only does our Executive Management team have extensive background in erosion/corrosion, welding engineering and proper material selection for wear resistance, we also have expertise in developing and implementing Quality Management Systems for manufacturing and servicing facilities. This expertise fosters normal routine for SRT’s team to ensure that superior quality products and services are delivered, with zero exceptions! We create a detailed plan with proven processes and procedures to achieve the best outcome, and work the plan to get it completed right the first time! In addition to a comprehensive Quality Management System, SRT’s focus on advanced welding technology used to join materials can sometimes be complicated. Whether its repair of PDC Drill Bits or more sophisticated welding processes i.e. PTA over tile (inserts), we have the expertise to satisfy our customer’s requirements. We periodically analyze our processes and procedures via extensive testing i.e. cross sectioning of welds to evaluate fusion, acid etching of the weld/HAZ areas to evaluate penetration, magnetic particle testing for cracking and hardness testing. This level of quality is our commitment!

We Have Experience

The leadership of SRT has extensive studies and expertise in the performance of various materials as it relates to damage caused from corrosion and erosion. We have expertise with welding processes and selection of corrosion/erosion resistant consumables utilized to increase the life expectancy of components. We utilize advanced welding processes and procedures and employ the most corrosion/erosion resistant materials for its purpose and intended life expectancy. We have the most advanced welding processes for joining materials with extremely different metallurgical characteristics. Proper fusion is achieved by proven processes and procedures, while utilizing a broad spectrum of metallurgical designed consumables. Our more advanced welding processes utilize our special consumable powder matrix to yield greater fusion, and is especially beneficial when joining extremely hard materials like cobalt base materials. At SRT we qualify our procedures and welders and periodically cross section welded materials to evaluate fusion quality, especially during development of new advanced procedures. We put extra checks and balances in place to ensure consistent quality is achieved, without compromise!

Our TEAM

SRT’s top leadership has extensive experience in the study of materials and the application of various technologies used for erosion and corrosion protection. SRT’s technical experts hold degrees and professional licenses in the field of welding and metallurgical engineering, and specialize in welding extremely hard materials i.e. tungsten carbide, where joining these types of materials can present metallurgical challenges. For decades the president served as a Corrosion Specialist, identifying damage mechanisms that degrade equipment, developed economically feasible procedures to repair and/or extend the life of components, and ensured quality requirements were met. Our Production Manager has progressed from years of experience working as a specialty welder to perfecting welding procedures for PTA over tiles (inserts). Our Quality Manager has developed and implemented Quality Management Systems and helped many very large manufacturing facilities obtain notable quality registrations.
