Sandvik has launched Sanicro 35, a unique grade that bridges the performance gap between stainless steels and higher cost nickel alloys.

Sanicro 35, the latest addition to Sandvik’s growing Sanicro portfolio of nickel alloys and austenitic stainless steels, offers exceptional high performance, strength and corrosion-resistance at a wide range of temperatures.

“Designed for extremely corrosive environments and seawater applications, it is ideal for heat exchangers and hydraulic and instrumentation tubing. The new alloy features high mechanical yield strength, superior corrosion-resistance and excellent structural stability,” the manufacturer said.

“Sanicro 35 is a unique, high performance alternative to existing duplex and austenitic stainless steel grades and more expensive nickel alloys. It offers a cost-efficient choice for minimising risk and extending production lifecycles when battling corrosion in demanding environments,” said Martin Holmquist, Business Development Manager, Sandvik Materials Technology.
