Pipeline Pipe Product Processing Case: API 5L X60 Clad Pipe with Inconel 625 Overlay
In aggressive industrial environments, internal pipe cladding is a proven solution for enhancing the corrosion resistance and lifespan of pipeline products. This case highlights the application of API 5L X60 clad pipe with Inconel 625 overlay, specifically designed for pipelines transporting sour gas, seawater, and high-pressure hydrocarbons.
By applying internal cladding with Inconel 625, FNS Pipeline ensures superior protection against pitting, chemical degradation, and stress corrosion cracking – key threats in offshore, subsea, and sour service environments.
The Internal Cladding Process: Enhancing API 5L X60 Pipe Performance
Using advanced automated cladding systems — including GTAW, PAW, and CMT — we apply a uniform, precisely bonded layer of Inconel 625 overlay on the internal surface of API 5L X60 clad pipe.
This automated process guarantees:
- Consistent overlay quality with minimal dilution
- Strong metallurgical bonding between the cladding and base pipe
- Smooth internal surface that improves flow efficiency
- Reliable corrosion and wear protection in critical applications
Our proprietary pipe cladding technology enables precise control over welding parameters, ensuring that every API 5L X60 pipe meets the highest industrial standards.
