ANTI-CORROSION ALLOYS FOR SHIPBUILDING

Inoxyda has been specialized in aluminium bronze alloys for several years. Those alloys, also called NAB alloys or Alu Bronze have been developped as an alternative to standard stainless steel solutions (stainless metals, duplex steels, super duplex steels) for all applications where sea water corrosion is a main design issues. Aluminium bronze have several mechanical applications in sea water environment : pumps, valves, propulsion or heat exchangers. As a foundry focused on Aluminium Bronze alloys, our main commitment is to support our customers engineering their components so as to reach the desired level of quality for their castings in corrosion environments.

In order to respond to our different customer’s requirements and with the commitments to developing quality products, the company has been certified ISO 9001 V2000 since 1994
