MATERIAL ENGINEERING

Engineered Materials for Demanding Pump Applications

SAM Turbo's captive steel foundry supports a broad range of cast materials selected according to the requirements of industrial pumping applications — from general process duties to highly abrasive and chemically aggressive service.

APPLICATION MATCHING

The Right Material for the Right Application

Industrial pump materials should be selected according to operating conditions — fluid chemistry,
solids content, temperature and duty cycle — rather than applying one standard material across every
application. Matching metallurgy to service conditions is where pump reliability is decided.

SAMRON-17 — Wear-Resistant Alloy
Developed by SAM Turbo

SAMRON-17 was developed by SAM Turbo's R&D team for demanding abrasive applications,
where component wear governs pump life and maintenance intervals. It reflects the company's
approach of engineering the material to the application rather than adapting the application
to an available material.

FAQ

Captive Steel Foundry – Common Questions

What is a captive steel foundry?
A captive steel foundry is a foundry owned and operated by a manufacturer for its own production requirements rather than for open-market casting sales. For SAM Turbo, the captive foundry produces the cast components used in its industrial pumps, which keeps material selection, alloy preparation and casting under the company's own engineering control.
What is the capacity of SAM Turbo's captive steel foundry?
SAM Turbo's captive foundry supports the manufacturing of cast components for its industrial pump applications. Specific foundry capacity details can be provided based on the applicable manufacturing requirements.
What materials are produced in the captive foundry?
The captive foundry supports application-specific material selection for industrial pumping requirements. Materials can be selected based on factors such as abrasion, corrosion, temperature and process conditions.
Why is material selection important for industrial pumps?
Material selection directly affects pump performance, service life and reliability. The appropriate material can be selected according to operating conditions such as abrasion, corrosion, temperature and the characteristics of the pumped fluid.
What is SAMRON-17?
SAMRON-17 is a material designation associated with SAM Turbo's foundry and material capabilities. Specific technical details should be confirmed from SAM Turbo's approved technical documentation.
How does SAM Turbo select materials for different pumping applications?
SAM Turbo selects materials according to the requirements of the pumping application. Factors can include abrasion, corrosion, operating temperature, process conditions and the characteristics of the pumped medium.
