- Now we are in the workshop at the biggest tank that we have ever had here, says chairman Harald Klungland.
The tank is almost 20 metres, 58 tonnes and has a 4.7 diameter interior, and is produced in 6Mo – a stainless steel alloy with a high content of molybdenum (Mo). This steel grade is used in corrosive environments, especially where extra resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion and chloride corrosion is required.
- There is a lot of work on it to complete. We weld and use the assembly station to clamp it together. Simply complete it, says Klungland, and adds:
- Almost everyone is on deck. Because it is a difficult job. But we are betting on being finished fairly quickly.
