SAFE IS SAFE
Processes in the oil, gas and chemical industries present operators with enormous safety and economic challenges. This makes it all the more important that only proven and innovative materials of the highest quality are used. As a globally recognised materials partner, we develop and produce highly corrosion-resistant steels – from super duplex steels to nickel-based alloys. The necessary expertise for these special materials is provided by our numerous specialists in our research departments, application technology and production plants.
This market segment demands a wide range of properties from the materials used, which can only be covered by specifically developed steels and Ni-based alloys. The product portfolio includes proven, highly corrosion-resistant steels and alloys of high quality. Voestalpine BÖHLER Edelstahl GmbH & Co KG is a fully integrated manufacturer of nickel and steel alloys for these demanding industries.
Special requirements for materials for the oil, gas and chemical industries include:
• Corrosion resistance in different environmental conditions (seawater, crude oil and natural gas, chemical process media e.g. acids, alkalis)
• Mechanical strength and toughness at low temperatures (down to -100°C) and up to temperatures of approx. 300°C
• Special physical properties (e.g. non-magnetisability, suitability for work hardening, etc.)
