Industrial gas compressor components require high‑performance BÖHLER steels with excellent fatigue and corrosion resistance. Key quality features include ultra‑clean materials, full traceability, controlled heat treatment, and rigorous testing for reliable operation.
Components for industrial gas compressors operate under demanding conditions characterized by high pressures, cyclic mechanical loads, and exposure to aggressive process media. These requirements demand materials with excellent fatigue strength, corrosion resistance, and long‑term dimensional stability to ensure reliable and efficient compressor operation. Particular emphasis is placed on resistance to stress corrosion cracking, hydrogen embrittlement, and wear in dynamic environments.
BÖHLER high‑performance steels and alloys are specifically developed to meet these challenges. Advanced low‑alloy, martensitic, and precipitation‑hardened steels provide optimized strength‑to‑toughness ratios, while stainless steels ensure enhanced corrosion resistance in chemically aggressive gases. For critical applications, tailored alloy concepts and clean steel technologies enable superior fatigue performance and extended service life. Stringent quality features include precise control of chemical composition, advanced melting routes for highest purity, and fully traceable production chains. Validated heat treatment, comprehensive non‑destructive testing, and strict dimensional inspections guarantee consistent material behavior. BÖHLER materials support compressor manufacturers in achieving high efficiency, operational safety, and reduced maintenance costs.
The BÖHLER L718 AMPO is a hardenable nickel-base super alloy. This high heat-resistant material shows good strength properties at elevated temperatures up to 750 ° C, as well as excellent creep resistance up to 700 ° C. In addition, it shows excellent corrosion resistance and good printability. Essentially, the same properties can be achieved with printed components made from this powder as with bar material.
