Sandmeyer Steel Co. has added LDX 2101® (UNS-S-32101, EN1.4162) to its extensive line of corrosion resistant stainless steel and nickel alloy plate and plate products. LDX 2101® is a low-nickel, nitrogen-enhanced lean duplex stainless steel. The austenitic-ferritic (duplex) structure of the alloy provides resistance to uniform corrosion, pitting, crevice corrosion and chloride stress-corrosion cracking. LDX 2101® has corrosion resistance similar to 304 but much higher mechanical strength. This enables it to be utilized in thinner cross-sections. The addition of LDX 2101® will allow Sandmeyer Steel Co. to better service the chemical and petrochemical, food and beverage processing, offshore oil and gas production, power generation, pulp and paper, seawater desalination, and water and wastewater treatment industries. Sandmeyer Steel Co. is stocking LDX 2101® in plate thicknesses from .1875in through 2.00in thick. The Company also inventories a complete line of other duplex grades including 2205, 2304 and 2507; SSC-6MO, a superaustenitic 6% molybdenum alloy; 300 series stainless steels; 17-4PH; 410, and the recently added 410S. Sandmeyer also stocks a large inventory of nickel alloy plate including 330, 400, 400AR, 600, 625, 800H, 800AT, and C276.
