Materials microstructure after welding , so the weld area is not a weak point when in service . This helps minimize risks and extends the lifecycle when battling corrosion . Combining the mechanical properties of duplex grades with localized crevice corrosion resistance comparable to alloy C276 , Sanicro ® 35™ has a critical pitting temperature ( CPT ) of 110 ° C ( 230 ° F ) per ASTM G150 in a modified and more severe 3M Magnesium Chloride ( MgCl 2
) solution . Its high yield strength enables reduced wall thicknesses , creating significant weight savings . It also has a very high resistance to stress corrosion cracking . For fabricators , it requires no pre-heating or post-weld heat treatment . Its high structural stability means it is not prone to intermetallic phases during welding . The excellent formability of the grade permits cold bending to tight bending radii . Cutting , turning , drilling , and milling are also easier than with a tough nickel alloy tube . Designed for extremely corrosive environments and seawater applications , it is ideal for heat exchangers and hydraulic and instrumentation tubing . It offers a cost-efficient choice for minimizing risk and extending production lifecycles when battling corrosion in demanding environments .
Advancing together through trust Producing heat exchanger tubes for a crude unit fractionator using a relatively new material proved the value in trust between the material manufacturer , the fabricator , and the end customer . Sanicro ® 35™ represents an exciting material option available for the end user to evaluate for their particular process equipment challenges .
