5	The drill collars are made of modified AISI 4145H choromium molybdenum alloy steel. These drill collar bars are full-length heat treated and water quenched to obtain ASTM A-370 mechanical properties. Full mechanical and chemical mill test certification are supplied with all drill collars. These mill test certifications guarantee a hardness range of 265 to 341 BHN and an IZOD impact value of ft-lbs at room temperature one inch below the surface.

7	To ensure close tolerance bores, all drill collars bars are trepanned then drifted to API specifications. Bar surface finish is “as rolled” which is original mill finish.
8
9	CONNECTIONS: All connections are precision-machined to API specifications and quality-control inspected. (API relief groove pin and bore back box stress relief feature are available on request.) Thread roots are cold-worked to offer a greater resistance to fatigue. All connections are then chemically treated to produce a surface finish that minimizes calling during makeup. Threated protectors are installed to ensure adequate joint protection during shipment.

11	SPIRAL DRILL COLLARS: The spiral cut is added to a drill collar to prevent the likelihood of differential wall-sticking by reducing wall contact between the drill collar and the wall of the hole. The box end of the spiral collars is left uncut from 18 to 24 inches, and the pin end is left uncut 12 to 22 inches from the shoulder.
