Stainless Steel - Duplex
|
Duplex Stainless Steels have a structure that contains both ferrite and austenite. Duplex alloys have higher strength and better stress corrosion cracking resistance than most austenitic alloys and greater toughness than ferritic alloys, especially at low temperatures. The corrosion resistance of duplex alloys depends primarily on their composition, especially the amount of chromium, molybdenum, and nitrogen they contain. Duplex alloys are often divided into three sub-classes: Lean Duplex (AL 2003™ alloy), Standard Duplex (AL 2205™ alloy), and Superduplex (AL 255™ Alloy and UNS S32760).
