  OSEA 2008
   
  As a supplier to the Far East oil and gas engineering companies, Langley Alloys will be taking part in the OSEA 2008 exhibition in Singapore between 2nd and 5th December 2008.
   
  Superduplex Centre of Excellence
   
  Langley Alloys is becoming the UK’s centre for stockholding supply and technical information for all three of the offshore grade 25%Cr superduplex stainless steels (S32550, S32760 and S32750) as well as the 22%Cr duplex stainless steels S31803 and S32205. As Langley first invented the first 25%Cr duplex stainless steel (FERRALIUM 255) and coined the term ‘superduplex’ in a publication issued in 1982, it is fitting that Langley has taken the decision to maximise on its long experience in the production and application of this type of material.
   
  Nickel Alloy Stockholding
   
  As a well-known supplier of corrosion resistant alloys, Langley Alloys is increasing its nickel alloys stock range to include 625 and 718. Langley’s ability to manufacture the MONEL-type grades 400 and K-500 continues to enable it to maintain short lead time supplies, something which the larger mills are not always able to offer.
   
  Rolls Royce Aerospace Approval
   
  Langley Alloys has recently been given Rolls Royce Aerospace approval to manufacture and supply the MSRR8501 and MSRR8503 grades of bearing materials. This is appropriate in that the MSRR8501 alloy was derived from HIDUREL 5, an alloy developed by Langley during World War II for Spitfire engine bearings.
