Industry Application
Pump Industry
Premium stainless steel engineered for high-performance pumps, ensuring durability, corrosion resistance, and reliability in demanding industrial applications.
Problem to Material Route
Pump wetted parts fail through corrosion, cavitation or wear — and the failure mode changes with fluid chemistry and flow velocity, not just with pump size or duty rating.
316 and 316L are commonly specified for impellers, casings and shafts handling water, mild process fluids or low-chloride chemical service. 2205 is often considered where higher chloride concentrations, elevated pressures or longer maintenance intervals push beyond the performance range of austenitic grades. 17-4PH is used where high mechanical strength combined with corrosion resistance is required for shafts, sleeves and wear rings under high load. Bar and plate in these grades should be specified with mechanical properties and surface condition confirmed before machining begins.
Operating Risk
Cavitation erosion on impeller surfaces at high flow velocities, pitting corrosion on austenitic wetted parts in high-chloride process fluids, shaft fatigue from misalignment or unbalanced loading in continuous-duty applications
