    Abstract: A mud pump with components manufactured from high strength and toughness steel is disclosed. The mud pump includes a power end and a fluid end. The power end includes a motor, crankshaft rotationally engaged with the motor and a connecting rod rotationally engaged with the crank shaft. The fluid end inclues a piston, a cylinder, a drilling fluid module, a discharge manifold, and a strainer cross. At least one of the plunger, the drilling fluid module, the discharge manifold, and the strainer cross has the following composition in weight percent: 0.25 - 0.55% carbon, 0.70 -1.50% manganese, a maximum of 0.025% phosphorous, a maximum of 0.050% sulfur, a maximum of 0.80% silicon, 0.10 - 0.80% nickel, 1.40 - 2.20% chromium, 0.10 - 0.55% molybdenum, a maximum of 0.030% vanadium, a maximum of 0.35% copper, a maximum of 0.040% aluminum, a balance of iron, and incidental impurities.

  • Patent number: 10294538
    Abstract: Uniform hardenability is achieved in plastic injection mold and die block tooling of 20 inches and larger by the use of 0.05-0.20 vanadium in conjunction with low carbon steel in which ingots are hot worked to form mold and die blocks having cross sections of 20 inches and larger followed by water quenching and tempering.

  • Patent number: 10239245
    Abstract: A blemish free surface is formed on the cavity side of a set of mold or die blocks, said set consisting of a core side and a cavity side, by use of a softer alloy on the core side as contrasted to the cavity side so that, during plastic injection molding, the core side will wear at the parting line in preference to the cavity side whereby erosion of the set occurs on the core side in preference to the cavity side leaving the cavity side erosion free.
