Duplex Stainless Steel Pipe

Duplex Stainless Steel is a type of austenitic stainless steel that comprises of nickel and chromium majorly, along with other elements like nitrogen and molybdenum.

It provides great strength and resistance to corrosive environments. It is used in desalination plants, heat exchangers, and marine processes.

This stainless steel alloy offers good resistance to localized as well as to uniform corrosion. The duplex microstructure of the alloy contributes to the high strength and high resistance to stress corrosion cracking. It has good weld ability and offers many beneficial properties of ferritic and austenitic steels combined.

Duplex Stainless Steel gives very good resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion and has high resistance to stress corrosion cracking and corrosion fatigue. It displays high mechanical strength and also provides good abrasion and erosion resistance. It is used in chemical, Oil and gas and marine industries. Other uses if the duplex stainless steel is in pollution control equipments, pulp & paper manufacturing, seawater desalination plants and in flue-gas cleaning to name a few.

Typical Properties:

  • Low cost

Duplex stainless steels possess a mixed microstructure of ferrite and austenite. They contain a high chromium content of 22 wt.% – 25 wt.%, a molybdenum content of up to 5 wt.% and a low nickel content.

Duplex stainless steels exhibit roughly twice the strength of austenitic stainless steels and possess greater resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking compared to austenitic stainless steels, albeit less so than ferritic. They exhibit toughness between that of ferritic and austenitic.

Examples & applications of duplex stainless steels

Due to these properties, duplex stainless steels are ideal for demanding environments where good mechanical properties are required in addition to good corrosion resistance. Common examples of duplex stainless steels include:

  • 2205, used in chemical processing, oil and gas processing equipment, marine and other high chloride environments, effluent scrubbing systems, pulp and paper industry, cargo tanks for ships and trucks, food processing equipment, biofuels plant.
  • 2304, used in chloride containing environments, welded pipe systems, transportation, heat exchanger tubes, construction, pressure vessels, caustic solutions and the food industry.
  • 2507, used in oil and gas industry equipment, offshore platforms, chemical process industries, desalination plants, mechanical and structural components and power industry FGD systems.

Material stainless steel grades

Also known as “marine grade” stainless steel due to its increased ability to resist saltwater corrosion compared to type 304. SS316 is often used for building nuclear reprocessing plants.
