Abstract
An experimental investigation has been carried out to study the pluggi ng capacity of homogeneous aluminium plates in alloy AA5083-H112 and A A6082-T6 subjected to a dropped drill-collar, and to compare the resul ts with corresponding tests on steel plates in grade St52-3N. It has b een found that alloy AA5083-H112 is more efficient in preventing plugg ing than alloy AA6082-T6, and that the weight saving of using aluminiu m instead of steel is approximately 35% based on the same height of dr op.
