Marine & Shipbuilding

Marine & Shipbuilding Stainless Solutions

In marine environments, equipment faces severe corrosive conditions and wear from abrasion. Stancor Stainless provides premium stainless steel materials to combat these challenges effectively.

The service challenge

Marine applications often experience sliding abrasion and impact wear from continuous movement and harsh oceanic conditions. The first components to fail are typically those made from inferior materials, leading to costly downtime.

Selecting the right product

Choose based on exposure

Select grades that specifically address the corrosive nature of the marine environment.

Consider mechanical load

Evaluate the mechanical stresses components will face to determine the ideal grade.

Thickness considerations

Match thickness to application requirements to balance weight and durability.

Consult for custom sizes

We provide cutting services to meet specific project dimensions and requirements.

Questions engineers ask

What is the best grade for coastal applications?

For coastal applications, S31600 is recommended due to its high resistance to corrosion from saltwater.

How can I ensure the correct thickness?

The thickness should be based on the operational conditions; heavier loads may require thicker plates.

What are the benefits of duplex stainless steels?

Duplex grades like S2507 offer high strength and excellent corrosion resistance, making them suitable for aggressive marine environments.
