Duplex steels combine most of the benefits of ferritic and austenitic steels properties.
Industry articles
Duplex grade 1.4462 as an alternative for austenitic grades 1.4301 and 1.4401
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF DUPLEX
· Ferritic-austenitic structure - balance between structures is 50% -50%
· They combine most of the benefits of ferritic and austenitic steel properties
ADVANTAGES
· Higher mechanical resistance than other grades
· High corrosion resistance (in particular stress corrosion, pitting corrosion, crevice corrosion)
· PRE 35 Pitting Resistance Equivailent
· Very high strength
· The ability to reduce the thickness of elements and, as a result, reduce the weight and cost of construction
· Higher abrasion resistance
· Low thermal expansion
· Working temperature: from -40 to +250 °C
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
· In the paper, gas, mining and petrochemical industries
· Storage tanks
· Tanks and chemical tankers
· Pulp and paper industry applications such as digesters and process tanks
· Oil and gas industry applications such as flanges, valves, tubes and pipes
· Pressure tanks such as oxygen reactors
· Structural components in bridges
· Desalination and wastewater treatment plants
· Heat exchangers
