Claim:
1. An inflow control assembly positioned on a base pipe, comprising: an outer body; and a carbide coupled to the inflow control assembly by a cradle and defining a flow path for fluid flow through the inflow control assembly when the inflow control assembly is in a wellbore traversing a subterranean formation, wherein the carbide and the cradle form an internal component that is configured to adapt to an injection mandrel for enabling the injection mandrel to inject a material from a source external to the outer body into the flow path to reduce fluid flow through the flow path, wherein the carbide projects radially inward from the cradle and partially into an opening in the base pipe, the carbide having a surface and the cradle being at least partially disposed between the carbide surface and the base pipe.
