Pirtek Fluid Systems has announced the introduction of a brand new 316L stainless steel material created by HAM-LET, a global manufacturer of instrumentation valves and fittings for industrial and high purity applications.
The new material called, PuRight, offers lower inclusion content, low carbon content for enhanced welding, low sulphur content for enhanced electro-polishing and better corrosion resistance achieved by modification of key elements such as chromium (Cr), Molybdenum (Mo) and Nickel (Ni).
Felix Shestatski, VP Quality, Engineering and R&D at HAM-LET explains that the new PuRight material offers greater corrosion resistance than previously available materials and is less likely to pit than conventional 316L stainless steel. Designed to achieve optimum surface quality after mechanical or electro-polishing processes, PuRight material is compatible with the SEMI-F20 standard, as well as with ASTM-A276 and ASTM-A479/ASME SA479 standards.
PuRight material is recommended for applications within the semiconductor industry, where corrosive materials are utilised.
