Additive Manufacturing and Metal Replacement: the advantages of using PEEK in the Oil&Gas sector
Why use PEEK in the Oil&Gas sector?
In the Oil&Gas sector, Roboze technology, combined to materials like PEEK, allows to produce lighter components, that are customized and with a longer lifetime, making the assembly methods more rapid and efficient, and to operate in deep waters with acids, high pressures and temperatures.
The main applications of PEEK in the oil&gas industry are rings for compressors, connectors, pumps’ components, dymanic seals and inserts for valve seats.
Today, the Oil&Gas Industry needs to reduce the eccessive operating costs, avoid material’s waste due to the realization of complex geometries and save money in the phase of producton and storage of components. For example, the use of Roboze 3D printing technology on offshore platforms, especially in remote locations, can guarantee a descrease of the standard supply time to print spare parts just-in-time and on-demand.
PEEK’s properties
In particular, Roboze PEEK – the most advanced semi-crystalline thermoplastic material – presents mechanical, thermal and chemical resistance in conditions of high temperature and corrosive environments.
