Process Heat Exchangers places specific demands on the alloys that serve it. Jiangsu DZX Alloy supplies Titanium, Copper-nickel (CuNi) alloys, Incoloy for this duty, combining 24+ years of precision-alloy manufacturing experience with an ISO9001 triple-inspection system, a 12,000 m2 self-owned factory and full batch traceability. In real projects, process heat exchangers succeeds or fails on how well the material matches the conditions described above.
Downhole tools, subsea pipelines, LNG and low-temperature processing put materials under extreme pressure, sour-gas and cryogenic duty. Jiangsu DZX Alloy supplies Inconel 625 line pipe for sour service, CuNi alloys for seawater cooling, Monel 400 for valve and pump internals, and nickel alloys for the most corrosive hydrocarbon environments.
General Requirements for Process Heat Exchangers
- Erosion-corrosion resistance at design flow rates.
- Complete documentation: chemistry, mechanical and corrosion files formatted for qualification.
- Pressure integrity: hydraulic-test records and wall-thickness tolerance.
- One quality system across subsea and topside packages.
- Supply-form fit: materials must be available in the forms fabrication requires — typically tube OD3-300mm, plate / tube, plate / tube, strip, wire.
Recommended Materials & Specifications for Process Heat Exchangers
The following grades and specifications apply to this application; all values are as supplied by Jiangsu DZX Alloy with per-batch certificates:
| Material | Representative grades | Key properties | Available forms |
|---|---|---|---|
| Titanium | TA1, TA2, GR1, GR2 | seawater/cooling service | tube OD3-300mm, plate |
| Copper-nickel (CuNi) alloys | CuNi10, CuNi30 | condensers, coolers | tube, strip, wire |
| Incoloy | 800, 825 | process-side heat exchangers | tube, plate |
Titanium (TA1, TA2, GR1, GR2) is specified for its seawater/cooling service. Jiangsu DZX Alloy supplies it as tube OD3-300mm, plate, with dimensions produced to drawing; supported fabrication routes include bending, welding, stamping and machining as the form allows. Copper-nickel (CuNi) alloys (CuNi10, CuNi30) is specified for its condensers, coolers. Jiangsu DZX Alloy supplies it as tube, strip, wire, with dimensions produced to drawing; supported fabrication routes include bending, welding, stamping and machining as the form allows. Incoloy (800, 825) is specified for its process-side heat exchangers. Jiangsu DZX Alloy supplies it as tube, plate, with dimensions produced to drawing; supported fabrication routes include bending, welding, stamping and machining as the form allows.
Available supply forms by grade:
- Titanium: tube OD3-300mm, plate
- Copper-nickel (CuNi) alloys: tube, strip, wire
- Incoloy: tube, plate
Customisation: Grades, diameters, wall thicknesses and lengths can be manufactured to customer drawings, and samples are available on request.
Application Scenario Deep Dive: Process Heat Exchangers
Qualification is the bottleneck in offshore projects: a material package that cannot document its chemistry and hardenability stalls requalification regardless of its actual performance. Supplying subsea alloys with dossier-ready files is what keeps flowline projects moving.
When seawater/cooling service governs the duty, Titanium is the typical first call; Copper-nickel (CuNi) alloys is preferred where condensers, coolers matters more. Jiangsu DZX Alloy’s engineering team can review your duty conditions and confirm the grade, condition and tolerance before ordering.
Process Heat Exchangers does not operate in isolation: within Oil & Gas it sits alongside Downhole Tools & Sour-Service Tubulars, Subsea Equipment & Pipelines, LNG & Cryogenic Processing, and material choices made here often share grades, documentation and inspection practice with those duties. Reviewing the neighbouring application pages is the fastest way to see where specification boundaries lie.

Standards & Quality Documentation
Every order can be supplied with a quality certificate including chemical-composition analysis, with full heat and batch traceability. Jiangsu DZX Technology Co., Ltd. operates a 12,000 m2 self-owned factory covering melting, rolling, wire drawing and surface treatment in-house, produces over 1,200 tonnes of alloys per year under an ISO9001 triple-inspection system, and serves more than 1,500 customers worldwide.
Documentation Checklist for Process Heat Exchangers Orders
- Quality certificate with chemical-composition analysis, per heat and batch;
- Dimensional and tolerance reports for every production lot;
- Surface-inspection records where finish is specified;
- Applicable-standard certificates (ASTM / IEC / customer specification as agreed);
- Application-support documents — life guidance, annealing windows or fault-isolation notes where the duty requires them.
Working with Jiangsu DZX Alloy on Process Heat Exchangers
Jiangsu DZX Alloy supports this application from selection to delivery: pre-sales material selection and drawing review, prototype samples for qualification, and one-to-one after-sales process support with rapid response. Manufacturing runs from melting, rolling and wire drawing to surface treatment in-house, so grade, dimension and surface condition are controlled at every step rather than outsourced. Buyers are welcome to visit the 12,000 m2 factory in Jiangsu to audit production capability in person before committing to a program.
