Oil & Gas, Mining - Franklin Precision Castings

Castings Designed for the Harshest Conditions

At Franklin, we understand the critical importance of leveraging strong metals and precision engineering for components in the oil, gas, and mining industries, many of which are subjected to harsh conditions – whether deep underground or high in the sky. Our expertise in creating high-strength and corrosion-resistant investment castings ensures your parts are up to the task when it comes time to withstand the extreme conditions encountered in oil, gas, and mining operations.

Parts Made for the Oil, Gas, & Mining Industries

From downhole and drilling tools to latches, levers, and burner nozzles, our domestically produced castings play a key role in the equipment used in drilling, extraction, and processing operations. Here are some of the parts we are able to create for the oil, gas, and mining industries using our automated investment casting process.

Downhole and Drilling Tools

Investment castings are used to produce a wide range of downhole and drilling tools, including tool joints, stabilizers, reamers, and subs, which are essential for drilling, casing, and completion operations.

Latches and Levers

Various latches, levers, and other mechanical components used in drilling rigs, wellheads, and other equipment are often produced using investment casting processes for their strength, durability, and precise dimensional accuracy.

Drilling Bits and Accessories

Components such as drilling bits, nozzles, inserts, and wear pads used in drilling operations are frequently made with investment casting techniques to achieve complex geometries and superior wear resistance.

Bushings

Investment castings are utilized to manufacture bushings, bearings, and other rotating or sliding components used in pumps, compressors, valves, and other machinery operating in harsh environments.

Grates and Wear Parts

Grates, wear plates, and other wear parts used in mining equipment, crushers, and processing plants are commonly produced using investment casting methods for their abrasion resistance and longevity.

Burner Nozzles

Precision-engineered burner nozzles and flame holders used in combustion equipment such as furnaces, kilns, and flare systems are often made with investment casting techniques to achieve precise flow control and optimal combustion performance.

Check Valves, Braking Systems, and Flow Meters

Various fluid control components such as check valves, control valves, braking system components, and flow meters used in oil, gas, and mining applications are manufactured using investment casting processes for their reliability and performance in high-pressure and corrosive environments.
