PROJECT TITLE:

Demonstrative model of super-duplex stainless steel UNS S32750 / F53 / 1.4410 thermomechanical processing technology

 

PROJECT ACRONYM:

SDSS-ThermProTech

 

PROJECT SUMMARY:

The project aims to realize a transfer of knowledge from an already proven technological concept (TRL2), to validation in laboratory conditions
of the UNS S32750 / F53 / 1.4410 Super-Duplex Stainless Steel (SDSS) alloy thermomechanical processing technology components (TRL4). As a demonstrative model, the project deals with the UNS S32750 / F53 / 1.4410 SDSS alloy thermomechanical processing technology. The demonstrative model consists of two components, namely: the hot deformation and the final heat treatment, each being of crucial importance in obtaining processed parts possessing high mechanical strength and high corrosion resistance in chlorine-rich environments..

 

PROJECT OBJECTIVES AND RESULTS:

The primary project objective deals with obtaining the thermomechanical processing technology for the SDSS UNS S32750 / F53 / 1.4410 alloy, processing technology with validated components in laboratory conditions.
Other secondary project objectives, connected to those of the present call, are:
- to increase the capacity of the project coordinator to generate solutions for products/technologies - validated in laboratory conditions;
- to increase the capacity of the project coordinator to deliver proven products/technologies for industrialization to potential end-users (i.e. SC FORJA ROTEC SRL, Buzău, Romania; SC Vilmar SA, Râmnicu Valcea, Romania; SC Tenaris Silcotub SA, Zalau, Romania; SC ZIROM SA, Giurgiu, Romania; etc);
- to increase the visibility of the project coordinator by disseminating the obtained scientific results in ISI international journals / international scientific conferences.

The project's innovative results refer to the potential for exploitation and industrialization of the obtained results, considering the large demand for SDSS UNS S32750 / F53 / 1.4410 components in oil/gas, petrochemical, desalination and other industries. At the end of the project, the thermomechanical processing technology components will be demonstrated/validated in laboratory conditions. Also, another result will be represented by the disseminated of obtained results, at the end of the project at least three ISI scientific papers will be published in international journals and two scientific papers will be presented at international conferences.
