A hyper-duplex stainless steel displays excellent resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, stress corrosion cracking and general corrosion.

At the Tube 2008 exhibition in Germany, Sandvik will be showing examples of its comprehensive range of tubular and bar products The company's expertise in stainless steel (SS) and advanced materials offers one of the most comprehensive seamless tube and pipe product programs in the industry

The company will be showing two new grades, Sandvik SAF 2707 HD and Sandvik Sanicro 25.

* Hyper-duplex stainless steel - the Sandvik SAF 2707 HD is a hyper-duplex stainless steel, specially developed for service in highly corrosive conditions, such as seawater cooled heat exchangers.

It is particularly suited to aggressive, chloride-containing environments and displays excellent resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, stress corrosion cracking and general corrosion.

Sandvik told manufacturingtalk.com that at the same time, the SS has high mechanical strength and good weldability.

Particularly aimed at the chemical, petrochemical and refinery industries, Sandvik SAF 2707 HD has been developed to meet higher industry demands on performance whilst maintaining the reliability and safety of equipment.

* Creep resistant austenitic SS - also being shown for the first time is Sandvik Sanicro 25 for use in advanced ultra-super-critical coal fired steam boilers, destined for the next generation of power stations.

Specially designed for reheater and superheater tubes, Sandvik Sanicro 25 is a creep resistant austenitic material that allows for material temperatures up to 700 deg C, helping to boost efficiency.

The increased steam temperature contributes to higher efficiency, lower carbon dioxide emissions and reduced fuel consumption.

This gives valuable help towards meeting the environmental demands of the future, said Sandvik.

* Sandvik Materials Technology at Tube 2008, Dusseldorf, Germany, March 31 - April 4, Hall 8a, Stand B40.
