Kutrite tungsten carbide composite rods are a development of B & W Metals Company of Houston, Texas. Kutrite is applied to perform one or both of two functions: one, to increase the speed of downhole milling and cutting; and two, to protect the surface of tools subject to abrasive wear, maintaining full guage on stabilizers, guides keyseat wipers, and other downhole tools. The sintered tungsten carbide particles used in our product are of the highest steel cutting quality. These carbide particles are crushed, treated and carefuly graded for size and consistency.

The tough, resilient matrix that holds the carbides in suspension in the composite rod has an ultimate tensile strength of 100,000 psi. B & W Metal's unique patented method of combining these carbide particles and the matrix, insures a complete bonding process. This manufacturing process results in the highest quality composite rod available - a rod that has proved itself in thousands of field applications all over the world. Kutrite is easy to apply in the shop or field using oxyacetylene welding equipment.
