BLUEWAVE Manufacturing Facts and Features:

  • They are one of the world's largest manufacturers of high quality, stainless steel rigging hardware.

  • World-renowned brand development through consistent investment in high tech production machinery in order to satisfy the ever involving marine industry requirements.
  • Efficient production, good design, low weight and optimal strength are the main principles driving their products to market.
  • All their stainless steel raw material is thoroughly tested to ensure that it has the highest possible corrosion resistance compatible withe marine environment:
  • Stainless Steel Grades and Certificates - PREN Pitting Resistance Equivalent PREN =% Cr + ( % Mo x 3,3 ) + ( % N x 16 )
  • PREN is a guideline formula for calculating the properties of stainless steel and the resist ance against pitting. Molybdenum, and Nitrogen content have a considerable effect on stainless steel corrosion resistance.

BLUEWAVE have invested in an X-ray gun to test the stainless raw material raw materials, to ensure that the desired quality and corrosion resistance is achieved.
