METALS FOR USE IN THE OIL & GAS INDUSTRY
The following are the metals that are best suited to deal with the demands of the oil & gas industry:
Stainless Steel
Stainless Steel is the most extensively used metal in the oil and gas industry, especially when it comes to operating and extracting methods. This is because stainless steel is:
- A relatively strong metal
- Corrosion resistant
- Maintenance free
- Easy to weld
- Highly tensile
Stainless Steel applications in the oil and gas sector include pipelines for oil, heat exchangers, sewage equipment and desalination plants.
Copper
Because of its electric and thermal conductivity, copper is used for special purposes within the oil and gas sector. Copper is typically used as seals and valves because of its ability to transfer cold and heat without cracking or warping.
