Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the technical field of material processing, and particularly provides a preparation process for a golf head with dual metal components. The molded tungsten alloy injection blank is embedded into a stainless steel injection molded mould, the stainless steel feed and the tungsten alloy injection blank are subjected to injection molding to obtain an integrated injection blank subjected to in-mould injection molding, and the golf head with dual metal components is prepared by degreasing and sintering. The preparation process of the present disclosure is applied to golf heads required for counterweight assembling, is completed by using one-time degreasing and sintering process after injection molding of dual metals so as to break through the limitation of a metal injection molding (MIM) technology that can only produce one metal part once, and can be used for one-time molding of stainless steel and tungsten alloy metal parts.

Abstract: A method and system are described for communicating within a system, which may be along tubular members and used during gravel pack operations. The method includes constructing a communication network and installing the communication nodes along the gravel pack system. The communication nodes are used to monitor the formation of the gravel pack for voids or gaps during the gravel pack operations. Once the gravel pack is installed, the gravel pack operations may be used for hydrocarbon operations, such as hydrocarbon exploration, hydrocarbon development, and/or hydrocarbon production.

Abstract: A method and system are described for communicating within a system, which includes a plurality of communication nodes disposed along tubular members in a wellbore.

Abstract: Superterranean acoustic networks, methods of forming superterranean acoustic networks, and methods of operating superterranean acoustic networks are disclosed herein. The superterranean acoustic networks include superterranean hydrocarbon infrastructure that extends above a ground surface, defines a waveguide, and contains a fluid. The infrastructure also includes a plurality of acoustic communication nodes spaced-apart along the superterranean hydrocarbon infrastructure. Each acoustic communication node of the plurality of acoustic communication nodes includes an acoustic transmitter and an acoustic receiver. The acoustic transmitter is configured to generate a generated acoustic signal and to supply the generated acoustic signal to the waveguide. Responsive to receipt of the generated acoustic signal, the waveguide is configured to propagate a propagated acoustic signal there through.
