Strong Against Metal Dusting
As the market leader for centrifugally cast tubes for direct reduction reformers we know the exceptionally demanding operating conditions and provide the right solutions.

 
S+C Special Alloy
 

Centralloy® HT D

The S+C special alloy for the challenges of direct reduction reformers

We developed a special alloy for the enormous material stress caused by the high and cyclically changing working temperatures as well as the corrosive environment.

The special composition of this alloy forms a dense and adhering oxide layer that effectively delays the onset of metal dusting. In addition, our material also raises the maximum operating temperature of the DRI plant.

  • Less corrosion damage
  • Less creep rupture
  • Working temperature up to 1200 °C
  • Increased efficiency
  • Higher capacity
  • Longer plant lifetime
 
Know-How
 

The S+C Added Values

S+C – the high-grade steel specialist, that offers more than just tubes and fittings

When it comes to the application of our spun cast products in steam crackers, reformers or DRI plants, there is practically no situation that we cannot assist you with. To put it simply: We manufacture tubes, coils, reformer tubes, harps and manifolds for petrochemical application using the combination of know-how, quality and reaction speed that is unique to S+C.

S+C offers the full range in spun cast and static cast parts, i.e. tubes, return bends, elbows, Y-pieces, T-pieces and tetra-fittings all from just one source. Another advantage of S+C spun cast products is that we can manufacture entire tube assemblies such as harps and ethylene coils completely in-house. This benefits our customers because in addition to spun cast products, S+C also manufactures static cast products. S+C’s experience with both casting processes ensure that individual components are combined to give optimum results.

In addition to our high alloy systems being used in the radiant sections of process furnaces, it is the substantial added values that make S+C stand out from its competitive environment. The message is clear: Because we understand your installations and problems, we can increase your sales revenue and profits. We achieve this by optimising our products and services, allowing you to increase production volumes significantly.
