Industrialized Magnetic
Pulse Welding and Forming
The heart of the plant – the PQF mill – will
be equipped with individual roll drive and
an all-hydraulic roll adjustment system. In
order to ensure constant premium quality,
the whole plant is monitored and controlled
by the Carta® technology system and the
Lasus® wall-thickness measuring system,
both developed by SMS Meer.
The new PQF plant forms part of a new
integrated steel works and pipe mill that
will strengthen the competitiveness of
Vallourec and Sumitomo Metals in an
expanding market. SMS Meer has already
built plants in the past for both Vallourec
and Sumitomo.

New stainless steel
material grades unveiled
Sandvik Materials Technology, Sweden,
manufactures a comprehensive range of
tubular and bar products, including new
grades, Sandvik SAF 2707 HD and Sandvik
Sanicro 25.
Sandvik SAF 2707 HD is a hyper-duplex
stainless steel, specially developed for
service in highly corrosive conditions,
such as seawater cooled
heat exchangers. It is
suited to aggressive,
chloride-containing
environments and
displays excellent
resistance to pitting
and crevice corrosion,
stress corrosion cracking
and general corrosion.
At the same time, it has high mechanical
strength and good weldability.
Particularly aimed at the chemical,
petrochemical and refinery industries,
Sandvik SAF 2707 HD has been developed
to meet higher industry demands on
performance whilst maintaining the reliability
and safety of equipment.
Sandvik Sanicro 25, for use in ultra-
supercritical coal fired steam boilers, is
destined for the next generation of power
stations. Designed for reheater and
superheater tubes, Sandvik Sanicro 25 is
a creep resistant austenitic material that
allows for material temperatures up to
700ºC. The increased steam temperature
contributes to higher efficiency, lower
carbon dioxide emissions and reduced fuel
consumption.
