Like all TCS products, TCS-Titanium exhibits unlimited field reapplication capabilities over other TCS products and select competitive products without removal of existing hardbanding.
Tuboscope TCS-Titanium is a martensitic chrome-titanium carbide alloy with molybdenum. This popular hardbanding choice features high-stress abrasion resistance and the ability to resist cracking and spalling.
TCS-Titanium is manufactured as a self-shielding, flux-cored, 2.4-mm open-arc welding wire.
