Stainless steels are high-alloy steels that have excellent corrosion resistance in comparison with other steels as they contain more chromium.
Based on their crystalline structure, stainless steels are divided into three groups, namely, martensitic, austenitic and ferritic steels.
A combination of martensitic and ferritic steels forms a fourth group known as precipitation-hardened steels.

The produced water in oil wells contains a variety of corrosive substances, such as Saline water, Cl-1, SO4-2, HCO3-1, CO3-2, H2S, CO2, Oxygen, which can cause strong corrosion to the carbon steel pump.
Although stainless steel (S50100, S30400) is extremely resistant to corrosion, it is relatively soft and has very low hardness and strength. Conventional processing methods, such as honing, cannot meet the requirements of the dimensional accuracy of the pump barrel.
In order to solve this problem, we adopt precision rolling process to ensure the precision of stainless steel pump barrel. The stainless steel pump barrel is chrome plated to improve the wear resistance.
