Published: 08 November, 2018
SANDVIK and Jiuli Hi-Tech Metals have announced they are entering into a partnership for the supply of Sanicro 25 high alloy, austenitic stainless-steel tube to specifically target the expanding market for low emission coal fired power generation.
Sandvik says this new arrangement will see it developing a strategic partnership with Jiuli to secure a strong portfolio supply train and market penetration for the product. The key purpose of the arrangement is to place manufacturing close to the end-user market, specifically targeted growth markets of China and India, while optimising production of Sanicro 25 tube and thus offering a range of environmental benefits to reduce CO2 emissions.
Sanicro 25 is an alloy that has been developed exclusively by Sandvik for application as a high-performance superheater tube to deliver high efficiency, ultra-supercritical coal fired power generation. Its creation came about from Sandvik’s desire to solve today’s energy needs, while at the same time keeping costs down and reducing CO2 emissions. The material is to be used for a range of new and upgrade projects in China and this new initiative will enable easy access to the product for customers and in turn their end users throughout the region.
