Recently, we successfully delivered SS316 corrugated fin walls for a prestigious customer involved in an offshore project. Below are the key benefits of using SS316L compared to CRCA Low Carbon Steel for transformer fin walls.
CRCA low carbon steel is generally used to make corrugated fin walls in transformer tank fabrication. However, SS316L is a more dependable choice for critical applications requiring reliability, durability and performance in marine and offshore transformer radiators.
Key benefits with SS136L:
• Corrosion resistance: SS316L resists pitting, crevice corrosion and damage from seawater, resulting in a longer lifespan in corrosive conditions.
• Life cycle cost: Although the initial cost is higher, the cost of repairs or replacements for low-carbon steel can be very high.
• Mechanical Properties: 316L has greater strength, impact toughness and fatigue resistance than low-carbon steel.
• Weldability: 316L can be welded without special heat treatment, which reduces the risk of corrosion in the welds.
• Cooling efficiency: 316L keeps heat-transfer surfaces clean, ensuring efficient heat exchange over time.
• High-temperature resistance: 316L maintains its strength and resistance at high temperatures, making it suitable for transformers.
• Improved safety: The strong corrosion resistance and mechanical strength of 316L create a safer working environment and lower the risk of accidents.
