Galling

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-001602

A form of surface damage that occurs when two metal surfaces slide against each other under pressure, causing material transfer and localized welding. This adhesion can lead to severe wear and seizure of components, particularly in threaded connections or pump parts. It is a common issue in downhole tools and wellhead equipment.
