Finland-based stainless steel producer Outokumpu has announced that it has begun a collaboration with Spain-based seamless stainless steel pipe producer Tubacex. As part of the collaboration, Tubacex has started to use Outokumpu’s billets as starting material for production of seamless tubes optimized for very high service temperatures. The material from Outokumpu fulfills the tough requirements of resistance to oxidation and erosion-corrosion up to 1150°C. The grade also presents excellent mechanical strength at high temperatures, provides longer product lifecycle compared to other products and increases productivity.
 
Tubacex produces hot and cold finished tubes for applications, among others, in the chemical, petrochemical and power generation industries. Production of high temperature seamless tubes is very demanding and development of the new product required extensive cooperation between the Tubacex and Outokumpu technical teams.
