Personal service, fast delivery
Duplex – an increasingly popular option
Our centre in Kunshan City, Jiangsu Province, maintains
a powerful inventory reserve, allowing you to conveniently
select from among our products with a short delivery
cycle. Further support is provided by our warehouse
in Shanghai, as well as offices in Beijing, Guangzhou,
Hong Kong and Taipei. The result is fast response
and delivery, as well as low costs and personal service,
wherever in the region you may be.
We also stock a wide range of duplex stainless steels,
which are increasingly popular all over the world due
to their superior strength, corrosion resistance and
other favourable properties. Our duplex grades are
used in an increasing number of applications from
storage tanks to paper machines in order to achieve
significant thickness reductions and cost savings across
application lifetimes.

Attention to detail
A distinct advantage of our centre is our ability to cut thick
and large stainless steel plate and sheet to meet precise
specifications, including a variety of complicated shapes.
We take care of every step down to the smallest detail, allowing
you to do away with further processing either at a secondary
processing facility or on-site. As a result you don’t need to
keep your own stock and also benefit from significant savings
in transport and assembly, as well as a smoother overall project
flow.

Case: Stonecutters Bridge, Hong Kong
Our customer wanted the bridge to last beyond
120 years, and whilst carbon steel delivered
adequate structural strength, it could not deliver
the durability. The choice of polished plate of
duplex grade Outokumpu 2205 for the upper
towers ensured that the bridge would withstand
the hot and humid climate and also minimise
the need for maintenance, thereby translating
into low costs over time.
A milestone in bridge engineering
Stonecutters Bridge is one of only two cable-stayed
bridges in the world with a span of more than one
kilometre and as such marks a major milestone
in bridge engineering. Contributing are also the
bridge’s two towers, the upper sections of which
are formed from a composite section of reinforced
concrete and duplex plate from Outokumpu.

Roll out the potential. We deliver cut-to-length
coil up to two metres wide.
Large sizes efficiently cut
Cutting coil to length is the main activity of our service centre
and our ability to process coil up to 2 metres wide and 15
metres long offers a distinct source of competitive advantage.
A high degree of flatness as well as quick, precise and accurate cutting of large sizes are ensured by our machines. The capabilities
of our line include cutting 1 - 13 mm thick duplex stainless
steel and up to 15 mm thick austenitic coil. Also offered are a
variety of surface finishes and packaging options for an overall
superior product.

Case: Wuhan Qingshan Shipyard
delivered with ready profiles and edge preparations
for quick assembly and ease of welding on site.
Training on welding has also been provided for
employees at the shipyard. Overall, the weight savings
resulting from the use of duplex over austenitic
stainless steels can reach 30%. Outokumpu’s
polished duplex stainless steel plate requires no
coating, with further savings derived from the easy
cleaning, corrosion resistance and long life of the
material.
Weight savings and more for chemical
tankers
The Wuhan Qingshan Shipyard relies on Outokumpu
duplex stainless steel for the storage wall panels of
the chemical tankers it designs and produces.
The corrugated plates for the panels are built
from duplex plate Outokumpu 2205, which are

Versatile capabilities
Our laser-cutting machine, which is among the world’s most
advanced, delivers extreme accuracy in cutting materials of
complex profiles and thin stainless steel sheet. With a cutting
thickness range of 1 mm to 25 mm, the machine delivers
exceptional neatness without causing added pressure to the
components. In general, there is no need for additional
processing, which paves the way for improved production
efficiency.
Complex contours.
Our laser-cutting machinery is ideal
for processing high-end products.

Case: Port of Fangcheng
LDX 2101® as well as the duplex grade Outokumpu
2304. These grades have similar corrosion resistance
and also twice the strength of competing austenitic
grades, which translates into significant cost savings
due to the possibility to reduce tank wall thickness.
In addition, the use of proprietary 2,000 mm x
10,400 mm sheets from Outokumpu delivered
design improvements as well as faster welding and
erection on site.
Innovative tank farm for the storage
of liquid chemicals
Gold Bridge Shipping Ltd (Hong Kong) is
building a major terminal for the storage of liquid
chemicals in Guangxi Province, on the extreme
southwest coast of China.
Chosen for the tanks were custom-sized plates of
the lean duplex stainless steel grade Outokumpu

No further processing.
Our water-cutting equipment cut thick plates
with precision.
Making the perfect edge
Our water-cutting equipment are capable of handling large
and thick stainless steel plate to absolute precision. This covers
plate 1 - 150 mm in thickness with processing capability up
to 6 metres long and 3 metres wide, hence producing a perfect
edge.
A further advantage is that water-jet cutting process does not
cause any form of metal oxidation, nor does it lead to any
residual stress and heat-affected areas. Therefore, customers
can have a service that has the best value for money, eliminating
the need for secondary processing that can often be very costly
and time consuming.

Case: Hainan PM2
Outokumpu was chosen by Voith of Germany
to deliver all of the stainless steel for the project,
covering 2,000 tons of flat and rolled products
and steel enhancement tube. These were of
austenitic grades Outokumpu 4401 (316),
Outokumpu 4571 (316Ti) and 4301 (304).
Hainan PM2 marks the largest collaboration
between Outokumpu and Voith to date.
Record setting paper machine
Hainan PM2, operated by Hainan Jinhai Pulp &
Paper Industry Co. Ltd, has the capacity to produce
a million metric tons of fine paper a year, which
made it the world’s largest fine paper machine
upon its inauguration in 2009.
11
Dimension of expertise
Our state-of-the-art plasma cutting machine and burner are
an excellent choice whenever you are looking to process large
batches of thick material with speed and precision. The line
can handle various stainless steel grades with a thickness of
3 - 150 mm, as well as areas as large as 3 x 15 m2. In most
cases, cutting takes place underwater. This ensures that the
final products maintain their flatness and straightness, while
simultaneously reducing the heat-affected zone.
Fast and economical.
