OCTL Welded Blade Stabilizers are designed to give optimum wear performance in most formations. The body is machined from AISI 4140/ 4145H modified alloy steel and full length heattreated. The blades are manufactured from mild steel, and welded to the body following exacting pre-heating, welding and post-heating specifications. For blade attachment, there is an upset portion of a diameter larger than the neck. This increases the strength and life of the body, and reduces bending stress on the welds. Tungsten carbide is applied to the OD and leading edges of the blades before they are ground to hole size.

OCTL Welded Blade Stabilizers are available with spiral or straight blades in 3 or 4 blade configurations giving 360 degree coverage. All connections are machined to API Specifications and fitted with pressed steel thread protectors.
