Duplex stainless steel is a kind of stainless steel material with a special structure. It is characterized by about 50% of ferrite and austenite, or at least the content of less phase to reach 30%. Chemically, it has a lower carbon content. At the same time, it contains a certain proportion of chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni) and other alloying elements, such as molybdenum (Mo), copper (Cu), niobium (Nb), titanium (Ti), nitrogen (N) and so on.
Performance of Duplex Stainless Steel 1
1. High strength and excellent toughness
Compared with austenitic stainless steel, this steel has higher strength and can reach twice the yield strength of ordinary stainless steel, which helps save materials and reduce manufacturing costs. At the same time, it also inherits the excellent toughness of austenitic stainless steel, making this material perform well when subjected to high stress or impact loads.
2. Excellent corrosion resistance
It is outstanding in corrosion resistance, especially in harsh medium environments (such as seawater with high chloride ion content). Its resistance to pitting corrosion, crevice corrosion, stress corrosion and corrosion fatigue is obviously better than that of ordinary austenitic stainless steel. This steel containing molybdenum has good resistance to chloride stress corrosion under low stress. This is particularly important for equipment used in chloride-containing environments.

3. Good weldability
It has good weldability, small thermal cracking tendency, generally no preheating before welding, no heat treatment after welding, and can be welded with 18-8 type austenitic stainless steel or carbon steel and other dissimilar materials.
4. Excellent processing performance
The high strength and high work hardening rate of duplex stainless steel make it relatively difficult to saw and shear. However, by using appropriate equipment and process parameters, such as the use of high-power machines, high-strength saw blade straightening system and optimization of cutting speed and feed amount, good processing results can still be obtained.
5. Energy saving and environmental protection
Because this stainless steel has high strength and good corrosion resistance, it can reduce the amount of material used in many applications, thereby reducing energy consumption and environmental pollution. In addition, as a nickel-saving stainless steel, its consumption of nickel resources in the production process is also relatively low, helping to achieve sustainable development.
