At the stand of Sandvik PulPaper 2014 the company´s representative Kim From explained how to increase boiler lifetimes with composite tube solutions that yield excellent corrosion properties with superior resistance to stress corrosion cracking.
Materials on display includes SanicroTM 67/4L7, relied upon in severe conditions for black liquor recovery and other boiler applications. The premium composite tube is according to Kim From more resistant to stress corrosion cracking and general corrosion than standard 304L/4L7 grades and has longer lifecycles, due to higher chromium levels and a low working-hardening rate.
– Sandvik is pleased to be among the exhibitors at this year's PulPaper to showcase our new composite tube which fulfills increasing demands for improved corrosion and cracking resistance," explained Timo Peltola, Global Product Manager, Composite and Boiler Tubes.
Other innovative Sandvik solutions on display includes hollow bar and bar for cost effective component production such as valves, washers and other key parts involved in pulp and paper applications; duplex tubes and fittings for piping; and hydraulics and instrumentation tubing for paper machines.
Sandvik material experts inform the visitors throughout the exhibition to advice on optimal material grade selection and suitability for specific applications.
Sandvik is a global manufacturer of seamless tube and pipe in an extensive program of stainless steels, nickel alloys, titanium, zirconium and other advanced materials. Sizes range from 0.5 to 260 mm (0.01968 to 10.23 in.) outside diameter.
