Duplex stainless steel is a type of stainless steel that contains both austenitic and ferritic microstructures. It combines high strength with excellent corrosion resistance and is an important upgrade from traditional stainless steel.

Core Characteristics The core value of duplex stainless steel lies in balancing the advantages of both microstructures and compensating for the deficiencies of a single microstructure.
- High Strength: The presence of ferrite gives it a yield strength far exceeding that of ordinary austenitic stainless steels (such as 304 and 316L), typically more than twice that of ordinary austenitic stainless steels. This allows for significant reductions in component thickness, weight, and cost.
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance: Austenite imparts excellent resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking, while its resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion is superior to most ferritic stainless steels, making it suitable for harsh corrosive environments.
- Good Machinability: Compared to pure ferritic stainless steel, it has superior weldability and toughness; compared to pure austenitic stainless steel, it has a higher thermal conductivity, resulting in better heat dissipation during processing. II.
Typical Application Areas
- Petrochemical Industry: Pipelines and storage tanks used for transporting sulfur-containing crude oil and acid/alkali solutions, resisting corrosion from harsh media.
- Marine Engineering: Structural components in seawater, ship propeller shafts, seawater cooling systems, preventing seawater corrosion.
- Water Treatment: Seawater desalination equipment, reactors in wastewater treatment plants, resistant to high-chlorine environments.
- Pressure Vessels: High-pressure hydrogen storage tanks, chemical reaction vessels, utilizing high strength to reduce equipment wall thickness.
