Specifiers and fabricators requiring the unique combination of high corrosion resistance and outstanding material strength provided by duplex stainless steels now have freely available to them a definitive guide to selecting and working with duplex grades.
 

A major update of 'Practical Guidelines for the fabrication of Duplex Stainless Steels' brings together in one publication experience from around the world. It goes beyond the first and second generations of these materials also taking into account the latest developments in lean duplex and hyper duplex grades.

When it comes to shipping liquefied natural gas to distant markets, bigger is better. A new generation of LNG tanker known as the Q-Max has been designed to carry 80% more gas than conventional carriers while reducing transport costs by as much as one-third.

The Council approved the application of Ore Alloy Development Corporation Limited, a ferrochrome producer in China.

Scientists hope to recreate conditions nearer to the "Big Bang" than ever before achieved. The implications for our understanding of elemental physics are enormous... as are all the innovations that could flow from such understanding.

The expertise that Nickel Consortia had in the past with completion of Risk Assessment Dossier has clearly identified the need for sufficient time before submission of dossier.
 

This is the reason why the Nickel Consortia have decided to register Nickel Sulphate and Nickel Metal a few months before the recommended deadline.

November 25-26, Taiyuan, China.
The purpose of the conference is to promote international exchange and cooperation, and boost the use of duplex stainless steel in various fields. Experts in duplex stainless steel home and abroad are invited to make technical presentations, introduce new products as well as fabrication, welding technology and experience, and exchange up-to-date development and research achievements.

The Brazilian Stainless Steel Conference in its 10th edition will next year be held in Rio de Janeiro just in the week after the largest oil and gas industry event in Latin America, Rio Oil & Gas Expo and Conference. Papers can still be submitted.
