Applicaiton: Thanks to its excellent corrosion properties, APM 2377 is a highly suitable material for service in environments containing chlorides and hydrogen sulphide. The material is suitable for topside and subsea offshore components, such as valve bodies, manifolds, swivels and headers. The steel is also suitable for use in dilute sulphuric acid solutions and for handling organic acids, e.g. acetic acid and mixtures. The high strength of APM 2377 makes the material an attractive alternative to austenitic steels in structures subjected to heavy loads. The good mechanical and corrosion properties make APM 2377 an economical choice in many applications by reducing the life cycle cost of equipment.
