Metal Additive Manufacturing Conference - MAMC 2022

As the oil and gas companies seek to find sources of production in low-risk areas they are moving further offshore and deeper underwater. This has driven the demand for more corrosion-resistant materials, which are stronger and lighter than existing materials. Many of these materials, such as duplex and super duplex steels, martensitic stainless steels etc. are now widely used in conventional manufacturing processes. The additive manufacturing of such materials is, however, limited with most oil and gas additively manufactured components being produced out of the standard 316l and Ni-718.
In this white paper, we show the properties and characteristics achieved by additive manufacturing of three such materials widely used in the Oil & Gas industry, a martensitic stainless steel - m4p™ type13-X, a duplex steel m4p™ type10-SDX, and a super duplex steel - m4p™ type62-DX.
