Technical

Working together with global Stainless Steel Materials’ experts, engineers and companies involved in the manufacture or use of stainless steels/CRAs, we provide here a selection of original, non-commercial articles. These in-depth technical papers are written or co-written by operating companies, describing commercially viable new technologies and case histories of successful applications, backed by data. Topics include tubes & pipes, cladding, offshore, chemical process industry, welding & fabrication, 13Cr stainless steels, titanium, nickel alloys, pulp & paper and duplex stainless steels.
If you wish to include your technical articles in our Stainless Steel World magazine, email newsletter or on our website please feel free to contact us.

A Welcome from the Chairman of Heat Exchanger World Americas Conference & Expo 2024

"As we anticipate meeting one another this October, we invite you to join us at the NRG Center, with your ideas and topics focused on heat exchanger costs, design, performance, maintenance and efficiency in the oil and gas industry. I am confident that there is something for every professional from all levels of expertise at the Heat Exchanger World Americas Conference and Expo 2024. I am looking forward to seeing you all there!" 

Heat Exchanger Tubes In Super Austenitic Stainless Steels

In recent months, there have been challenges faced by supply chain to procure these types of materials which have seen wide fluctuations in prices, and long leadtimes.

Corrosion with Purpose: Electrochemical Machining Parts, Atom-By-Atom

This unique process is known as electrochemical machining (ECM), as well as its more advanced version called pulsed electrochemical machining (PECM).

Process Flow Analysis Resolves Filter Changeout Issues at Steel Plant

Using a unique on-site Gas Filtration Test skid, the company was able to conduct a detailed analysis of the solid and liquid contaminants in the gas stream without interruption to normal operations.

What to Look for in Hydrogen Valves and How to Choose the Right One

High-quality materials must be used to build the infrastructure, especially the valves that control the flow of hydrogen into the vehicle or within the refueling station.

Optimizing Dwell Time for Bolted Flanged Joint Installations

Research has shown that dwell time, which is defined as the period between initial torque and a post-installation re-torque, is a crucial interval for gasket performance optimization.

Introduction of Chrome Nickel Moly Alloy UNS N06059 as Choice of Stainless Steel Seamless...

The two most used alloys in this segment are UNS N10276 and UNS N06022.

Be Sure to Check Out the Expo at Fugitive Emissions Summit Americas 2024!

Throughout the entirety of the two-day event, vendors will showcase their latest products and technologies geared towards efforts to reduce the environmental impacts of industrial emissions during the Exposition. Attendees are encouraged to check out the Expo Hall during their time at the 2024 event to network, engage with new technologies, and be a part of the solution.

Optimizing Dwell Time for Bolted Flanged Joint Installations

Efficient and effective bolted flange joint installations are pivotal for minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity in industrial plants. The ASME PCC-1-2019 Tightening Method recommends a minimum of four hours of dwell time before retightening the bolts to restore short-term creep relaxation and embedment losses. Research has shown that dwell time, which is defined as the period between initial torque and a post-installation re-torque, is a crucial interval for gasket performance optimization.
