Duplex steel

Duplex is a stainless steel designed to combine improved resistance to stress corrosion cracking, pitting, crevice corrosion and high strength when compared with other stainless alloys. With its austenitic ferritic chromium, nickel, molybdenum composition duplex stainless steel alloy resists chloride environments and sulphide stress corrosion. Duplex stainless steel is designed to combine improved resistance to stress corrosion cracking, pitting, crevice corrosion and high strength when compared with other stainless alloys. Duplex resists chloride environments and sulphide stress corrosion. Duplex steel has a ductile/brittle transition at approximately -50?C. Duplex is also roughly double the strength of standard austenitic stainless steels.
