Specialists from the CRISM Prometey (part of the Kurchatov Institute Research Center) have completed the import substitution of titanium pipes for the navy and the nuclear industry. Hot- and cold-deformed pipes made from alloys with a yield strength of 750–850 MPa have been developed — 2–3 times higher than that of standard construction counterparts.
The new pipes, with unique mechanical characteristics, are intended for operation under extreme conditions. They withstand high pressure, aggressive media, and sharp temperature fluctuations. The products are planned for use in NPP steam generators, ship system pipelines, oil and gas processing units, as well as in the aerospace industry.
Comprehensive testing of semi-finished products — including corrosion resistance, weldability, and bending — confirmed structural stability and compliance with the declared properties.
