Industry Solutions
Oil & Gas
From downhole tools to refinery heat exchangers, the oil and gas industry demands metals that are non-sparking, corrosion-resistant, and rated for extreme pressures and temperatures.
Industry Overview
Oil and gas operations—upstream exploration, midstream transport, and downstream refining—require metals that perform in corrosive, high-pressure, and potentially explosive environments. Aluminum bronze provides non-sparking safety, while copper-nickel handles sour gas and seawater exposure.
Key Requirements
Non-Sparking Safety
Aluminum bronze and beryllium copper tools are required in explosive atmospheres per ATEX and NEC Class I Division 1.
Sour Service Compatibility
H₂S-containing environments require alloys meeting NACE MR0175 for sulfide stress cracking resistance.
High Pressure & Temperature
Downhole and refinery components operate at extreme pressures (10,000+ PSI) and temperatures (500°F+).
Traceability
Full material traceability with mill test reports per API and ASME standards.
Our Metals for Oil & Gas
We supply the following metals and product forms to serve oil & gas applications.
C954 and C955 aluminum bronze for non-sparking tools and valve components. C932 bearing bronze for pump wear rings and downhole bearings operating in abrasive drilling fluids.
Copper-nickel tube and pipe for offshore seawater cooling and fire suppression systems. Copper busbar for platform power distribution.
Aluminum structural components for topside platform equipment where weight reduction is critical for load ratings and crane lifts.
Brass fittings and instrumentation components for gas distribution, metering, and control systems throughout production facilities.
