CoolBanding® is a way of hardbanding that keeps the internal temperature of the drill pipe low enough to protect the plastic coating so it does not burn. At the same time the CoolBanding® procedure allows a high enough temperature of the drill pipe and tool joint for proper application of the hardbanding. It also allows proper cool down to ensure drill pipe integrity. Improper cooling can increase the hardness of the heat affected zone (HAZ) of the drill pipe to unacceptable levels and compromise the torsional integrity of the pipe. This does not happen with the CoolBanding® procedure.
