Offshore insights & innovations

A growing number of Outokumpu’s customers in the oil and gas industry are turning to Ultra Alloy 825 for its superior performance in the most challenging applications, especially in “sour” sulfur-containing environments. Rodrigo Signorelli, Outokumpu Lead Technical Manager – Marine & Energy, explains the background.

Discover the the various stainless steel and alloy grades used to ensure safety and reliability in demanding subsea applications. Learn more about Sanicro® 35, our new cost-competitive alternative to Alloy 625 for the most challenging environments.

Article shares insight into the alloys used to make coiled tubing for downhole dosing and hydraulic control lines. Learn how Schoeller Werk uses our high quality alloys to produce longitudinally welded tubes capable of containing pressure of up to 2,500 bar.

The Ultra range is a group of alloys consisting of some of the most corrosion resistant grades in Outokumpu’s product portfolio. The goal of this paper is to offer insight that may help in selecting the most appropriate Ultra grade for different highly corrosive environments.

Marine structures that play a vital role in sectors such as renewable energy and oil and gas exploration are exposed to challenging corrosive conditions. The traditional approach is to use carbon steel with a protective coating that requires frequent inspection, maintenance and replacement. However, duplex stainless steel can offer a more cost-effective and sustainable solution.

From the start of November 2022, Outokumpu has been providing its customers with the specific carbon footprint for their products – and is the first stainless steel producer to offer this.

Mathias Norlin, Project Sales Manager, explains how Outokumpu meets exacting specifications set by oil and gas engineers when specifying material to manufacture flexible pipes for offshore projects.

Using duplex stainless steel to replace Hot-Dipped Galvanized (HDG) steel for walkway gratings in marine environments could enable weight reductions of up to 40% as well as saving on maintenance costs and improving lifetime.

As today’s oil and gas infrastructure calls for advanced materials suitable for harsh environments, stainless steels offer a wealth of unbeatable advantages. Learn how stainless steels can help you deliver world-class, cost-effective solutions to minimize the risk of downtime or leakage while also meeting your climate objectives.
