What is ASTM A276?

ASTM is the American Society for Testing and Materials, and A276 is the ‘Standard Specification for Stainless Steel Bars and Shapes’.

How does 316 compare with super duplex stainless steels?

Super duplex stainless steel is 3-4x higher yield strength, 2x the resistance to pitting corrosion, yet less than twice the cost than 316.

How does 904L compare with super duplex stainless steels?

Super duplex stainless steels have been used to substitute 904L (UNS N08904, 1.4539) austenitic stainless steels for many applications.

How Does 254SMO Compare to Super Duplex Stainless Steels?

254SMO (UNS S31254, ASTM F44, 1.4547) is a super austenitic stainless steel, that can be substituted by super duplex for many applications.

What is S31803?

S31803 is the Unified Numbering System (UNS) designation for the original duplex stainless steel.

What is super duplex pipe?

The superior combination of strength and corrosion resistance achieved by super duplex stainless steels makes them an ideal choice for piping.

Super Duplex

What is the PREN of super duplex stainless steels?

The industry specifications NACE MR1075 and Norsok M650 would require the three main super duplex stainless steels to have a PREN>40.

How do super austenitic and super duplex stainless steels compare?

Super duplex stainless steels have comparable corrosion resistance, but greater strength and lower costs than super austenitics.
