NDE Scored First Order in SA of Exciting New Stainless Steel Alloy
NDE Durban became the first (and to date, only) stainless steel stockist in SA to place an order of Sanicro ® 35 for the SA market. In another South African first for the company, Sanicro® 35 1 was ordered for application in a Durban-based factory in March 2024. This grade is one of the world’s newest stainless steel alloys. This follows on from NDE’s innovative success with Lean Duplex (LDX 2101) stainless steels which were introduced into South Africa in the early 2000’s by NDE. “A new alloy is always an exciting development in the world of corrosion resistant stainless steel because of the new solutions and bene its for customers. We are proud to have been the irst in South Africa with Sanicro® 35” Hardy Esterhuizen, Managing Director of NDE. To date, NDE is the only company in South African who have placed an order for Sanicro® 35. “Our technical expertise in appropriate material selection for specific applications brought this exciting new
alloy into South Africa as a solution for a customer with a complex corrosion problem,” says Antonie Davis, Durban Branch Manager. “The new alloy provides excellent properties for many harsh environments at a market-related, stable price,” he says. Sanicro ® 35 for long life in harsh corrosive environments: • Excellent resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion • Excellent resistance to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) • High resistance to uniform corrosion in acid and caustic environments • High resistance to erosion-corrosion • Very high mechanical strength • Good weldability using nickel-based alloy consumables • Good fabricability, i.e. machining and forming • Competitive and stable price • Bridging the gap between austenitic and high nickel alloys A competitive and stable price is another big advantage of the new material. Comprising 35% nickel and 6.4% molybdenum versus the 58% nickel and 9% molybdenum of Inconel 625, Sanicro ® 35 reduces exposure to market volatility in these metals.
