Drill Pipe for Blast Furnace Tapping
1. Superior Material & Quality Assurance: Manufactured from high-grade alloy steel (45# steel, 40Cr, 42CrMo) that meets international industrial standards. The material undergoes strict heat treatment, ensuring excellent fatigue resistance, shear strength, and high-temperature resistance—capable of withstanding long-term stable operation in extreme working conditions.
2. Efficient & Labor-Saving Design: Featuring a gradient drill body structure (diameters gradually increasing from front to rear), it enhances drilling speed and penetration force, enabling quick tunneling through rock, refractory materials, and taphole clay. Loose thread connections between adjacent drill pipes allow for fast assembly/disassembly, reducing maintenance time and labor intensity.
3. Customizable Specifications: Flexible customization of diameter, length, thread type, and product type to meet diverse operational needs of global customers. Standard and non-standard specifications are available, with compatibility with international standard taphole openers.
4. Cost-Effective & Durable: High wear resistance and low failure rate reduce material consumption and replacement frequency, lowering overall operational costs for customers. Strict quality control throughout the production process ensures a long service life.
