Many of our customers are now seeing the benefit of building equipment with specialty alloys designed for higher corrosion resistance than stainless steel. Typically these alloys are more expensive, both in material and production costs, than stainless. However, that increased cost can be offset by longer service life, reduced maintenance, and improved corrosion resistance.
One question I frequently hear is: "Aren't all stainless fabricators capable of building from other alloys?" The short answer to this question is "no." It takes a great amount of time, effort, and cost to develop the welding procedures and corresponding quality systems involved for alloy fabrication. So, choosing a capable fabricator is an important decision.
