Alleima unveils new alloy designed specifically for subsea umbilicals

It builds on the success of SAF™ 2507 (UNS S32750), which has become the industry standard, and further advances the duplex revolution that Alleima pioneered decades ago.

“Across the globe, the demand for energy is growing strong. We see a rising tide of activity in the oilfields off the coast of Brazil, in the Gulf of Mexico, North Sea and Southeast Asia. Following a dip during COVID 19, this new surge comes, underscoring the need for reliable, cost-efficient energy production,” says John Tokaruk, Global Product Manager for umbilical tubing at Alleima.

“As the market leader in umbilical steel tubing, we often get requests for a material matching SAF™ 2507 in reliability, but with reduced costs, improved fatigue life and enhanced pressure handling. SAF™ 3007 (UNS S83072) accomplishes all this with a ‘less is more’ approach. Thinner tube walls, thanks to its superior strength and fatigue properties, results in lower cost per meter. It offers the excellent corrosion resistance of SAF™ 2507, and a similar microstructure, as well as simplified welding due to thinner walls,” explains John Tokaruk.
