Super Duplex

What is the difference between 32750 and 32760?

S32750 and S32760 are both super duplex stainless steels, with a great deal of similarities and can often be substituted for the other, subject to customer specifications. The internal microstructure of these grades is a balance of austenitic and ferritic grains, which give a favourable combination of physical and mechanical properties. This mixed microstructure is […]

Super Duplex

What is 32760 material?

32760 is a super duplex stainless steel, based upon chromium additions of 25% to achieve excellent corrosion resistance. 32760 is shorthand for the grade identified as UNS S32760 by the unified numbering system. The grade now referred to as 32760 has its roots in a development in the 1980’s by Mather & Platt and subsequently […]

What is the difference between stainless steel and super duplex stainless steel?

A stainless steel is a type of steel that resists corrosion. The composition of a steel product is based upon iron, and a stainless steel needs at least 11.5% chromium in order to resist general corrosion. Therefore, steels with more than 11.5% chromium content are known as stainless steels. There are several families of different […]

Is super duplex better than 316?

Super duplex stainless steels provide far higher strength and corrosion resistance than 316. Therefore, the immediate answer is yes – super duplex is better than 316. ‘Duplex’ stainless steels are a family of stainless steels that contain a mixed microstructure of austenite and ferrite phases. They offer a combination of good corrosion resistance and high […]

Super Duplex

What grade is super duplex?

Super duplex stainless steels are grades that have a combination of austenitic and ferritic microstructures, based upon a chromium content of 25%. There have been a large number of grades developed over the last 50 years that meet this basic classification. However, the most popular ones are described below. ASTM A182 F51 equates to UNS […]

Super Duplex

Is 2205 duplex or super duplex?

‘Duplex’ stainless steels are a family of stainless steels that contain a mixed microstructure of austenite and ferrite phases. They offer a combination of good corrosion resistance and high strength, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. Within the family of ‘duplex’ stainless steels, there are numerous specific grades using different compositions to […]

What is Inconel 718?

Alloy 718 is a high-strength, corrosion-resistant nickel chromium alloy.

Can nickel alloys be used at low temperatures?

Nickel alloys retain their room temperature properties over a far wider temperature range than many stainless steels.

What are copper nickels?

Copper-nickel alloys (cupronickels) provide the most acceptable high-strength option for a copper alloy.

What is Nitronic®?

Nitronic is a trademark belonging to AK Steel Inc and covers a family of more highly alloyed austenitic stainless steels.

Can stainless steel be used at low temperatures?

Austenitic stainless steels retain their impact strength at very low temperatures.

What is the difference between duplex and super duplex stainless steels?

Duplex stainless steels are based around a composition of 22% chromium, whereas super duplex stainless steels are based around 25%.
