To guarantee the purity of its products and the smooth operation of its equipment, the chemical processing industry is dependent on high-quality corrosion- and heat resistant materials. ThyssenKrupp Nirosta has been dealing with the special needs of the chemical and petrochemical industries for years and developed tailored product solutions.
Thanks to high additions of chromium, nickel and molybdenum, NIROSTA® duplex steels have a special intercrystalline structure that makes them resistant to general as well as selective types of corrosion such as stress corrosion cracking, crevice corrosion and pitting. They are also better able to withstand static and dynamic loading.
To deal with extreme temperatures and heavy mechanical loading in chemical processes ThyssenKrupp Nirosta produces special stainless steels that offer high strength and good formability, a particular advantage in tanks for the safe storage and transportation of chemicals.
