Safer, more efficient pipelines transporting energy enabled by Niobium enhanced steels

Niobium steels deliver better technical properties and productivity gains for pipe manufacturers, while promoting safety and cost efficiency.
Using an appropriate alloy design is fundamental to achieving competitive costs, production capacity and product reliability.
