the drive to greater sustainability . Specifically , the new tubular material is designed as an alternative to the standard grade to SAF™ 2507 . Compared to the latter , the new grade features additional chromium ( 30 %), reduced molybdenum ( -1 %) and introduces tungsten at 3.4 %. The new grade will be rolled out at the end of 2024 .
Stainless steel Oil & gas continues to be a very important market for stainless steel and CRAs . No doubt , this fact drove the decision by the tubular maker Corrosion Resistant Alloys to set up a facility in Brenham , Texas . Recent deals include Butting ’ s delivery of 290 kilometres of mechanically lined pipes for three offshore projects in Brazil ( 2023 ); Nippon Steel ’ s renewed contract for OCTGs for Equinor ; Vallourec ’ s five-year contract for tubes and connections for Equinor ’ s Brazilian operations ; Alleima ’ s umbilicals contract for a Brazilian offshore project ; and Vallourec ’ s contracts to supply tubes and connections for Abu Dhabi ’ s ADNO . Alleima recently unveiled a new alloy for subea umbilicals . SAF™ 3007 duplex stainless steel is designed to offer superior strength , fatigue properties and corrosion resistance , all at reduced cost . The alloy ’ s lighter weight and thinner walls contribute to streamlined manufacturing processes , in line with
