Q: I’ve got in a high pressure sour gas well. We’ve been having trouble with 316 stainless steel components breaking. I need a solution but not sure what to use. A: High pressures and sour gas combined can cause cracking and corrosion in most standard stainless and alloy steels. Depending … Continue reading

So you’ve heard the term, but what is it? Technically, it is a method in which an alloy’s structural matrix is altered on an atomic level by using temperature change to enhance the material’s mechanical properties – increasing the yield and tensile strength. Simply, it is a way to further strengthen a material. It is … Continue reading

While there are many grades of stainless steel available for fasteners, we will focus on three of the highest performing grades used: Super Duplex, A-286 and 17-4PH.When comparing these materials to 316 stainless steel, their properties – of corrosion resistance, strength and high temperature stability – are significantly improved.
