Offshore

The offshore industry is involved in activities around the coast, such as gas extraction on oil rigs and offshore wind farms. The equipment and components frequently encounter moisture, water, salt, and oxidation. This is an aggressive environment, which means the metals used must be able to withstand these conditions. For this reason, strong oxidation-resistant metals are often chosen in this industry.

Applications in the offshore industry

The offshore industry operates under harsh conditions such as saltwater, humidity, and constant exposure to oxidation. Whether it’s gas extraction on drilling platforms or offshore wind farms, the materials used must be durable and corrosion-resistant. Specific applications like pipeline systems, oil drilling, and electrical conduction require advanced metals that can withstand these tough conditions. Therefore, this sector often opts for copper alloys for optimal electrical conduction, tungsten carbide for robust oil drills, and nickel alloys like Inconel for reliable pipeline systems.
