A marine engineering equipment manufacturer in India required a corrosion-resistant, lightweight, and high-strength titanium alloy for offshore platform structural components. The material needed to withstand seawater exposure and high-salinity environments for at least 15 years, maintain structural stability under extreme loads, and support high-quality welding processes.
We provided Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy, known for its low density, superior strength, and exceptional corrosion resistance. The solution included:
- Material selection: Ti-6Al-4V alloy met the client's requirements for lightweight design, durability, and seawater resistance.
- Surface treatment: Anodization was applied to enhance corrosion resistance by forming a protective layer.
- Processing support: Precision cutting and welding services ensured material stability during fabrication.
- Reliability testing: The alloy underwent salt spray and weld strength tests, with comprehensive technical reports provided.
- Material: Ti-6Al-4V
- Corrosion resistance: Over 5,000 hours of seawater immersion with no significant degradation
- Tensile strength: Above 850 MPa, maintaining structural integrity under extreme loads
- Processing compatibility: Supports laser welding and TIG welding
- 300 kg of Ti-6Al-4V titanium plates (2m × 1m × 10mm) delivered within 15 days
- Technical consulting services for material processing and application
- Assisted in corrosion resistance and strength validation testing for the platform
- Ongoing client support, including periodic follow-ups to track material performance and gather feedback for improvements
- Material performance: The client confirmed excellent durability in harsh marine conditions, with no signs of corrosion or strength degradation.
- Cost efficiency: The lightweight design reduced platform transportation and installation costs.
- Long-term collaboration: A contract was signed for future marine engineering projects, securing DLX Alloy as a key alloy materials supplier.
