Alloy 32760 (UNS S32760)
Description:
Alloy 32760 is a super duplex stainless steel supplied in the hot worked and solution annealed condition. As a super duplex stainless steel, it combines the desirable aspects of both austenitic and ferritic grades. The higher chromium, molybdenum and nitrogen contents result in a Pitting Resistance Equivalent number (PREN) of >40, providing pitting and crevice corrosion resistance superior to austenitic and duplex stainless steels in almost all corrosive media, and a Critical Pitting Temperature exceeding 50°C nb. versions of the PREN formula also include W as a positive influence on overall pitting resistance.
It provides higher strength than both austenitic and 22% Cr duplex stainless steels, and is listed in NACE MR 0175 for sour service and ASME for pressure vessel applications.
Key Features:
- Excellent corrosion resistance in a wide variety of corrosive chemicals
- Pitting Resistance Equivalent number (PREN) of >40
- Outstanding resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in seawater and other chloride containing environments
- Critical Pitting Temperature exceeding 50°C
- High strength compared to austenitic and 22%Cr duplex stainless steels
- Excellent ductility and impact strength at both ambient and sub-zero temperatures
- High resistance to abrasion, erosion and cavitation erosion
- Excellent resistance to stress corrosion cracking in chloride containing environments
- Listed in NACE MR 0175 for sour service
- ASME Approval for Pressure Vessel application
