Metals for Offshore Wind: Foundations, Towers and Subsea

Metals for Offshore Wind: Foundations, Towers and Subsea

Short answer: Offshore wind uses S355 and S420 structural steel for monopiles and towers, duplex stainless for subsea and splash zones, and heavy corrosion protection for the marine environment, so structures survive decades of fatigue and seawater; our Marine Guide en Corrosion Protection Guide give the detail.
