Supernova 316®


Supernova 316

UNS S3160 WN 1.4401

Steel Type: Austenitic
Operations: Less Sour  
PRE No.  23.5 - 27

With its combination of high break loads and good pitting and crevice corrosion resistance, Supernova 316® is a cost-effective solution for less corrosive oil and gas wells with zero H2S.

Supernova 316® is a proven alternative to GD316TM, UGI® Slick B29 and Alloy 316 (Sandvik 5R60)

Key Characteristics

  • Good general corrosion resistance in wells with medium concentrations of CO2 (up to 30%) and low chlorides (up to 2.5%) with both moderate Bottom Hole Temperatures and Pressures and no H2S
  • Excellent resistance to general corrosion
  • High break loads due to high tensile strength
  • May be used in temperatures up to 150°C in less corrosive environments
  • Subject to pitting and crevice corrosion in warm chloride environments and to stress corrosion cracking above 60°C
  • An economical option where carbon (plow) slicklines may fail due to corrosion
  • Not recommended for wells containing H2S
