Wear Mechanisms of a Kevlar-Zirconia-Epoxy Composite Casing Lining

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study analyzes the wear mechanisms of a Kevlar-Zirconia-Epoxy composite casing coating under varying drillpipe joint speeds and side loads, using both dry and water-based mud lubrications. Employing Scanning Electron Microscopy, the research highlights the influence of ceramic microfillers on the wear characteristics. Findings indicate that abrasive wear dominates at low speeds, while higher speeds increase adhesive wear. Side load changes had minimal impact on wear mechanisms. Additionally, specimen temperature significantly affects composite behavior, underscoring the importance of lubrication for maintaining composite integrity. The results suggest this composite is well-suited for applications requiring high durability and wear resistance.
