“In addition, the high mechanical strength often allows for thinner plate to be used in equipment design, further reducing costs,” says Antonie Davis. Developed to fill the gap between austenitic and high nickel alloys, Sanicro ® 35 is a competitive alternative to nickel-based alloys such as Inconel 625 and others, for corrosion resistance in demanding industrial environment “Our customer needed a solution for large extraction fa in a very corrosive environment where lifespan was limited by corrosion and the cost of replacement was significant,” says Philan Pillay, the Sales Representative who pioneered the new solution with NDE’s technical team. Basil Goldswain, consulting Engineer on NDE’s technical team, assisted in a variety of assessments of the new alloy, • 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 allo 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. “In addition, the high mechanical strength often allows
