Materials Available for the Oil and Gas Industry
Oil and gas projects may require different materials depending on the environment, load requirements, corrosion exposure, weight limits, and project specifications. Marco Specialty Steel can supply and fabricate products using:
- Stainless steel: A range of applications, from crossover platforms to pipe bridges, use corrosion-resistant stainless steel. We carry more than 10 grades, including 304 stainless steel and 904L stainless steel, which provide moderate to high corrosion resistance.
- Galvanized steel: For offshore rigs, the corrosion-resistance of galvanized steel is ideal for products and their varied applications. To deliver the best corrosion protection, we carry the A653 grade: a hot-dipped galvanized steel with low carbon content.
- Aluminum: Moderate strength and corrosion resistance. Aluminum 6061 is ideally used for marine components in offshore oil drilling and tank fittings.
- Nickel alloys: Used in the oil and gas industry due to their ability to provide long-term resistance to corrosion, heat, and wear on components used in oil and gas settings. Monel Alloy 400 is resistant to sea water corrosion, making it ideal for offshore oil rigs.
- Monel: Monel wire mesh, Monel perforated metal, Monel metal bar grating, and Monel expanded metal
- Inconel: Inconel wire mesh, Inconel perforated metal, Inconel bar grating, and Inconel expanded metal
- Hastelloy: Hastelloy C-276 wire mesh, Hastelloy C-276 perforated metal, Hastelloy C-276 bar grating, and Hastelloy C-276 expanded metal
- Carbon steel
