Corrosion and abrasion resistant sucker rod

Abstract

A sucker rod can include a base metal, a corrosion resistant layer on the base metal, and an abrasion resistant layer external to the corrosion resistant layer, the abrasion resistant layer comprising a phenolic material. Another sucker rod can include a base metal, a corrosion resistant layer on the base metal, and an abrasion resistant layer external to the corrosion resistant layer, the abrasion resistant layer comprising an abrasion resistant particulate material and a matrix material. A method of producing a continuous sucker rod can include displacing the continuous sucker rod through a surface treatment system, applying a corrosion resistant layer on a base metal of the continuous sucker rod, then applying an abrasion resistant layer external to the corrosion resistant layer.
