An Extensive Range of Materials
We have experience working with a variety of materials, from simple carbon and stainless steels to rare, exotic metals.
Material
Chrome Moly
Chrome moly (SA 387-Gr 11 and Gr 22) is an alloy that’s stronger than standard stainless steel with a high strength-to-weight ratio that’s often used for high-pressure and temperature environments.
Industry Usage
- Oil and gas
Material
Stainless Steels
Stainless steel comes in five classes, based on its crystalline structure: austenitic, ferritic, martensitic, duplex and precipitation hardening. Weldable Austenitic 300 series stainless steels don’t harden with heat treating. They’re known for their formability and resistance to corrosion. With a higher level of carbon, Martensitic 400 series stainless steels come with higher strengths and wear-resistance but lower levels of corrosion resistance.
Industry Usage
- Pulp and paper
- Chemical plants
- Food processing
- Agriculture
Material
Duplex Stainless Steels
Duplex stainless steels have a unique metallurgical structure that has austenitic and ferritic characteristics in roughly equal proportions. They offer the strength and corrosion resistance of the ferrite phase along with the ductility and stability of the austenite phase. Because of their low nickel content, they’re cost effective solutions for many applications.
Industry Usage
- Pulp and paper
- Oil and gas
Material
Nickel Alloys
Nickel alloys very well with other metals like aluminium, copper, iron, chromium and titanium. Today there are over 3,000 nickel-based alloys in use. Nickel alloys are highly resistant to corrosion and high temperatures. They also have special magnetic and thermal expansion properties.
Industry Usage
- Petrochemical
- Marine
Material
Clad Materials
Clad metals are materials that are made by bonding different types of metals together. Cladding combines the benefits of each metal in the composite, which makes it a great material to tailor to specific needs and requirements.
Industry Usage
- Petrochemical
- Oil and gas
Material
Titanium And Zirconium
Titanium and zirconium are extremely durable corrosion-resistant metals. They combine high strength with light weight. With a lower density, they’re cost-effective solutions compared to other corrosion-resistant alloys and often outlast other competing metals.
Industry Usage
- Pulp and paper
- Chemical
Material
Tantalum
Tantalum is a rare, hard, versatile metal that is highly corrosion-resistant. It is used in a variety of alloys to add strength, ductility and a high melting point. It combines strength and corrosion resistance with excellent biocompatibility.
Industry Usage
- Chemical
Material
Noram SX®
Noram SX® is an austenitic stainless steel that was developed by Sandvik in Sweden over 25 years ago to be used in hot concentrated sulphuric acid. It has great heat resistance and a corrosion rate of practically zero.
Industry Usage
- Acid technology
