duplex stainless steel
Duplex Stainless Steel is stainless steel in which the austenitic and ferritic phases are balanced and well mixed. This combination gives high strength, corrosion resistance, and toughness.

Key Features:

  • Dual Phase Structure: With a mixture of austenitic and ferritic grains, the dual-phase microstructure imparts excellent mechanical property enhancement as well as resistance to stress.
  • Best of Its Corrosion Resistance: Offers excellent pitting, SCC, and general corrosion resistance especially in environments where cracking is likely to be an issue.
  • High strength and toughness: stronger than standard stainless steels, and hence widely used in the chemical, marine, and oil industries.

The major advantage of Duplex Stainless Steel is an excellent balance between strength and corrosion resistance. They are specially developed for those applications where conventional stainless steels may not be suitable. With continuous developments in the metallurgy, it will prove to give better performance and versatility in the coming years.
