Duplex grade 1.4462 as an alternative for austenitic grades 1.4301 and 1.4401

Duplex steels combine most of the benefits of ferritic and austenitic steels properties.

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
