UK-based James Alloys, which provides high-value metal products for distribution worldwide, said it can now supply stainless steel, nickel alloy and titanium banding and clips to businesses in the Middle East in less than two months.

Among the range of metal products essential to subsea pipe laying and construction is nickel chromium alloy 625. Containing molybdenum, it can be used in high-load marine, subsea and chemical environments and comes with toughened anti-corrosion properties which are particularly resistant to crevice corrosion. The alloy has a 100-year service life, the company stressed.
