AmeriBronze®

Patent Number: 6,890,479

AmeriBronze® Technology vs. Steel:

• Harder than steel

✓Resistant to abrasion caused by hot, dirty furnace off-gases

✓Ideal in tough applications like 4th hole elbows, D1 Ducts,

Dampers, Drop-out Boxes, BOF Chutes, BOF Lance Panels, etc.

• More corrosion resistant than steel

✓Resistant to highly corrosive sulfuric and hydrochloric rich

off-gases in EAF, BOF and Power Plant Off Gas Systems

• More thermally conductive than steel

✓Highly efficient cooling capability

✓Resistant to thermal shocks

• Better elongation characteristics than steel

✓Resistant to thermal cracking and fatigue

✓Better elongation characteristics than steel

• Customers report operating life improvements more than 400%

conventional steel

Benefits = Longer Equipment Life + Higher System Up-time + Lower Operating Costs + Better ROI

AmeriBronze® Characteristics:

• Good compressive strength

• High elasticity

• High ductility

• Applications

✓High mechanical wear areas

✓High acid corrosion, erosion and pitting areas

✓Material of choice in Hydrochloric and Sulfuric Acid

manufacture:

- Exhibits corrosion rates less than 20 mills per year.

- Such a corrosion rate would result in an expected life of six

(6) years or more assuming 60% wear of the AmeriFab®

patented AmeriBronze® Technology before a failure, in our

nominal 2 ½” pipe diameter wall design.

- Numerous customers have reported operating life of their

equipment that matches and exceeds this life expectancy
