Stainless steel for oil & gas industry

Stainless steel: superior choice for harsh conditions

Stainless steels are the obvious winning choice for today’s oil and gas infrastructure. Thanks to corrosion resistance and superior mechanical strength, you can minimize the risk of downtime or leakage. Stainless steels also reduce life cycle costs and the logistical challenges of maintenance and replacement. We are Outokumpu, global leader in stainless steel and your number one choice for sustainability, with the lowest carbon footprint in the industry.

Forta range

Our key Forta duplex grades for oil and gas industry:

Forta DX 2205 (UNS S32205)
Forta LDX 2101 (UNS S32101)
Forta SDX 2507 (UNS S32750)

Duplex (austenitic-ferritic) stainless steel combines many of the best properties of austenitic and ferritic stainless steels: high strength, good corrosion resistance and enhanced resistance to stress corrosion cracking. The Forta range covers the strongest stainless steels in our portfolio. These grades enable thinner structures and weight reduction.

Ultra range

Our key Ultra range grades for oil and gas industry:

Ultra 904L (UNS NO8904)
Ultra 254 SMO (UNS S31254)
Ultra 6XN (UNS N08926/N08367)
Ultra Alloy 825 (UNS N08825)

The Ultra range includes highly alloyed austenitic grades that are designed for extremely corrosive environments. The strength and elongation properties of the Ultra range are similar or better in comparison with conventional austenitic stainless steels. Despite the greater strength of these steels, they offer very good possibilities for forming and welding.
