Duplex Stainless Steels
Duplex stainless steels have a ferritic-austenitic microstructure, in roughly equal proportions 50% ferrite and 50% austenite. Duplex combines many of the attractive properties of ferritic and austenitic stainless steels into one.
Different variants for Duplex
Duplex stainless steels are designed to provide better corrosion resistance, in particular to stress corrosion and pitting corrosion. The microstructure leads to higher strength than standard austenitic stainless steels such as Type 304 or 316. Duplex stainless steels have become more and more popular in recent years. There are several variants available, such as Duplex 2205, Superduplex 2507 or lean duplex with lower nickel content.
With just a few weeks to go, the final preparations are being made for the 2014 Duplex Seminar & Summit. This is your chance to meet and talk with the world’s leading duplex end users, manufacturers, researchers and suppliers, all in one beautiful location! Whether you want to expand your knowledge on the application of duplex stainless steels, or expand your business in this specialist sector, this highly focused event is for you.
The Duplex Seminar & Summit 2014 is an international platform for materials and corrosion professions specializing in the development and use of duplex stainless steels.
