Duplex Stainless Steel Sheet

Duplex stainless steel sheets hero

Duplex stainless steel sheets are a type of stainless steel alloy that offer superior resistance to corrosion, making them ideal for use in harsh environments such as chemical plants and offshore oil rigs. These sheets have a two-phase microstructure that combines the benefits of ferritic and austenitic stainless steels. This unique structure gives them excellent strength, toughness, and weldability.

At Om Steel, we offer a variety of duplex stainless steel sheet grades, including S31803, S32205, S32750, and S32760, each with its own set of mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. Our sheets are available in a range of sizes and thicknesses to meet your specific needs.

In addition to their resistance to corrosion, duplex stainless steel sheets also offer high strength and durability, making them ideal for use in heavy-duty applications. Whether you need sheets for chemical processing, marine engineering, or other industrial applications, our duplex stainless steel sheets are a reliable and cost-effective choice.

Characteristics of Duplex Stainless Steel

Duplex stainless steel has several unique characteristics that make it an attractive material for various applications. Some of these characteristics include:

Corrosion Resistance

Duplex stainless steel exhibits excellent corrosion resistance in a wide range of environments, including seawater, acidic and alkaline solutions, and chloride-containing media. This property makes it suitable for use in offshore oil and gas platforms, chemical processing plants, and desalination facilities.

High Strength

Duplex stainless steel has higher strength than austenitic stainless steel due to its two-phase microstructure. This property makes it ideal for use in structural components that require high strength and toughness.

Good Ductility

Duplex stainless steel exhibits good ductility at both ambient and low temperatures. This property makes it suitable for use in cryogenic applications where materials must withstand extremely low temperatures without becoming brittle or cracking.

Weldability

Duplex stainless steel is weldable using conventional welding methods such as gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), and shielded metal arc welding (SMAW). However, the presence of ferrite can affect the quality of the welds if not properly controlled.
