SEA-CURE®
Super Ferritic Stainless Steel Tubing
The ferritic structure of SEA-CURE® stainless steel provides a high strength/low work hardening material with good ductility. These properties allow high design stress limits with good fabrication characteristics. Because of the nickel addition, SEA-CURE® has a lower ductile to brittle transition temperature than similar ferritic steels without nickel additions.

Advantages of High Performance Stainless Steel

  • A high performance stainless steel that can be used as an alternative to several materials
  • One of the most cost-effective alloys in high chloride applications and where the potential for microbiological influenced corrosion exists
  • 20 years of commercial history with an outstanding performance record, accepted by both Section III and Section Section VIII of the ASME Boiler Code
  • Special proprietary chemistry developed by Plymouth Tube Company ensuring optimum corrosion resistance
  • Fully cold working of the weld using tooling on both OD and ID surfaces prior to annealing to ensure optimum homogenization
  • Special anneal & water quench dissolution of secondary phases that may be present in the strip material and to prevent the re-formation of them
  • Chemical pickle/passivation which removes all oxide from water quench and chromium depleted layers from prior strip processing
  • Technical support for tube processing and customer assistance based upon 25+ years and 100+ Million feet of shipments

SEACURE tubes
 
SEA-CURE® stainless is a patented alloy made exclusively by Plymouth Tube Company. Its composition is given in Table 1. Plymouth manufactures tubing in sizes from 1/2 to 2-1/2 inches (12 65 mm) in diameter, and in continuous lengths up to 150 feet (45 m). To produce feedwater heater tubing Plymouth has state-of-the-art U-bending and stress relieving equipment. Such tubing is used in fossil, nuclear, geothermal and hydroelectric power stations throughout the world.
