Aluminium Alloy Cement Float Shoe
an aluminum alloy cement float shoe is a specialized tool that uses advanced materials to improve the efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness of cementing operations. It provides the necessary functionality of a float shoe while making the subsequent drill-out process much smoother and faster. Puyang zhongshi group co ltd main products cover more than 100 varieties in 10 major categories, including cementing tools, oil production equipment, drilling equipment, electrical equipment, pressure vessel manufacturing, and steel structure processing. Our products are supplied to major oilfields in China and our international business covers over 40 countries and regions, including key oil-producing nations in Russia, the Middle East, Central Asia, and Africa.

Features of Aluminium Alloy Cement Float Shoe
- The valve is made of drillable materials. The valve body is 6061 aluminum alloy, and the spring is made of tin bronze. Its overall performance meets the requirements of API RP 10F IIIC standards.
- Equipped with high-temperature-resistant rubber components, it has excellent corrosion and erosion resistance.
- Threading and inspection comply with API 5B standards.
- The valve is not only suitable for conventioal technical casing and production casing but can also be used in deep wells, ultra-deep wells, and special process wells. The maximum pressure rating of the valve is up to 70 MPa.
Why Aluminium Alloy Cement Float Shoe is different?
The choice of aluminum alloy for the internal parts is not arbitrary; it offers several key advantages for modern drilling operations:
- PDC Drillable: The most significant benefit is that aluminum alloy is easily and quickly drilled out by a PDC (Polycrystalline Diamond Compact) bit. Unlike harder materials, aluminum doesn’t damage the bit, which is a major concern due to the high cost of PDC bits.
- Fast Drill-Out Time: Because aluminum is a softer material than steel, the time required to drill out the shoe after the cement has set is significantly reduced. This saves valuable rig time and lowers operational costs.
- High-Pressure Capability: Despite being a drillable material, the aluminum alloy is engineered to withstand the high pressures (up to 70 MPa or more in some models) and temperatures encountered during cementing operations, ensuring the valve remains sealed.
- Corrosion and Erosion Resistance: Aluminum alloys are chosen for their resistance to the corrosive and erosive nature of wellbore fluids and cement slurries, ensuring reliable performance during the job.
In summary, the use of aluminum alloy in a cement collar float is a material choice driven by the need for optimal drillability without compromising the structural integrity required for a successful cementing job. This makes it a popular choice for modern drilling operations that prioritize efficiency and the protection of downhole tools.
