Material type
Applications
Carbon Steel
General engineering applications and for use in specific oil and gas explorations and production.
Upstream and downstream processes and both sour and sweet environments.
Alloy Steel
Providing high strength, low temperature impact properties and high temperature creep resistance.
High Alloy Steel
Imparting high strength for critical applications.
Austenitic
Stainless Steels
A range of austenitic grades imparting resistance to a wide range of corrosive environments.
Martensitic
Stainless Steels
A range of martensitic grades imparting resistance to cavitation at relatively high temperatures
including steam turbines and excellent toughness especially at low temperatures.
Duplex and Super Duplex
Stainless Steels
A range of duplex and super duplex stainless steel grades for high strength combined with corrosion
resistance; particularly resistant to sulphide stress corrosion cracking and localised attack
(pitting/crevice).
Super Austenitic Stainless
Steels
Providing resistance to high corrosion environments in sea water, high chloride and extreme sour
service applications and erosion corrosion.
Nickel-based Super Alloys
Imparting good mechanical strength and impact resistance. high resistance to creep at high
temperatures. Excellent corrosion and oxidation resistance.
Technological innovation
Extensive research on the behaviour of grain refinement in duplex alloys
enabled the casting of multiple vertical sea water pump impellers made
of ASTM A995 grade 5A
