Superalloys for top process safety

Only suppliers who meet top safety requirements can supply components for nuclear technology. Thanks to our specially trained quality management employees, we are able to ensure that our products comply with the relevant regulations, are of perfect quality and meet all applicable safety standards.

In the nuclear industry, thermal energy is released as a result of nuclear fission. With the help of water vapour and pressure-bearing components, this energy is converted into kinetic energy. During this process, high forces and temperatures act upon various components: Control fittings, safety valves, turbine shafts and blades, and all pressure-bearing parts.

Safety is top priority here. Accordingly, only nickel-based alloys which are able to meet the high safety-relevant standards due to their excellent resistance to corrosion and fatigue can be used.
