Application of nickel alloys in Marine

In the shipbuilding industry and other marine industries, the most important issue is how to deal with the corrosion of flowing seawater. Nickel alloy is a perfect solution, especially MONEL alloy can reduce the corrosion rate to almost negligible. At Lork group, we provide solid solution strengthened alloy as the material for the ship's hull. At the same time, precipitation strengthened alloys are used as practical materials for fasteners in seawater.



Are used for their high resistance to corrosion in offshore platforms, desalination plants and equipment, as well as in power and process plants that use seawater as coolant, Monel alloy 400 is a nickel-copper alloy that is stronger than pure nickel and can be fabricated readily by hot- and cold-working, machining, and welding. Monel alloys are resistant to corrosion by many agents, including rapidly flowing seawater. This feature, coupled with its resistance to bio-fouling and microbially induced corrosion (MIC), makes Monel a cost-effective and robust alloy for the manufacture of wave protection sheathing for platform risers and steel pylon legs on offshore rigs.
