Kitz provides materials with high corrosion resistance appropriate for our customer's operating conditions. Based on our own corrosion test data, we can select an alloy steel that best suits each customer's needs from our broad lineup of special alloy steels, from cast stainless steels to high-nickel alloy castings.
There was no alternative but to select a much more expensive material than SCS13A or SCS14A because of the high corrosion resistance requirements.
KITZ offers you a wide selection of material qualities.
You can select an alloy with the required high corrosion resistance, but at significantly lower cost.
