Applications

Manufacturer proprietary steel grade (trade name) per maker specification.

Available Forms

Bar, plate, sheet, tube, forgings, strip, wire, powder

Uses

Duplex stainless steel with a mixed austenite/ferrite structure giving roughly twice the yield strength of austenitic grades plus excellent chloride resistance. Used in desalination, offshore, pulp & paper, heat exchangers and chemical tankage.

Heat Treatment

Solution anneal 1020–1100 °C and rapid quench; reheating near 300–400 °C (sigma phase) and 475 °C embrittlement zones must be avoided.

Precautions

Heat input and interpass must be controlled to keep the ferrite/austenite balance; avoid exposure 300–400 °C (sigma) and use low carbon. Sensitive to chloride SCC above ≈60 °C.
