MARILOY™ S-400 Pipes

NIPPON STEEL's MARILOY™ S-400 steel pipe is a steel product containing 1% chromium for enhanced corrosion resistance when used in or on the ocean. The origin of the word MARILOY comes from a combination of MARINE and ALLOY.
The addition of chromium produces an effect in which the rust layer on the surface prevents oxygen from infiltrating the base metal, thus inhibiting corrosion to half or less compared to ordinary steel. MARILOY™ S-400 steel pipes are mainly used for the cargo oil pipes in oil tankers, FPSO systems and water ballast pipes. Since its release about 25 years ago, more than 60,000 tons of MARILOY™ S-400 has been used, reflecting highly-valued efficiency of this product.

Features

① Chemical composition
1%Cr
② Mechanical properties
TS=400MPa, on the same level as carbon steels
③ Weldability
Similar to carbon steels.
No preheating is required.
④ Corrosion resistance
Corrosion rate is half that of carbon steel in seawater(The diffusion rate of oxygen is slower in rust layers containing Cr compared to those that do not.)

Corrosion in Seawater-Gas Heat Exchanger Tubes

Corrosion loss of MARILOY™ S-400 is half that of carbon steel (SS400).

MARILOY™ Pipes Reduce Fabrication and Maintenance Costs

MARILOY™ Reduces Fabrication Costs

Coated carbon steel pipes Flange Ship : measure the length → Shop : cut, angle-weld and paint → Ship : joint with bolts
MARILOY™ pipes without inner surface coating Welding Sleeve Flange Ship : cut and weld Merit: Fabrication cost and time can be reduced.

MARILOY™ Reduces Maintenance Costs

Coated carbon steel pipes After a long-time service Cargo oil pipe Water ballast pipe Inner surface: Coating is sometimes damaged within several years, which can lead to local corrosion. Several repairs and/or replacement of pipes may be necessary during the ship’s life. An example of damage to the tar epoxy coatin Blister →Breakage Local corrosion: 5 – 7mm/12.5years→Local repair
MARILOY™ pipes without inner surface coating After a long-time service Cargo oil pipe Inner surface:small pits ater ballast pipe nner surface:general corrosion MARILOY™ pipes are estimated to have a usable life of more than 30 years. General corrosion: 3mm/15 years→No need to repair
