Duplex Steel

Duplex Steel
Category: Nickel Alloy
Duplex Steel has a balance mix of two distinct phase austenite and ferrite, ferritic contributing to strength and austenitic resistance to corrosion. Its Chromium and molybdenum contents make it resistant to pitting and crevice corrosion especially in tough conditions. DSS Applications Duplex type Stainless Steel has a wide range of usage in industries such as Pharmaceutical, Marine, Automotive, and Aerospace. Let’s detail its usage more specifically.

Pharma & Medical

In Pharma and medical the product is mostly used in the manufacturing sector.

Implantable Medical Products

Like components used in orthopaedic plates and screws, dental implants, pace maker and stents.

Surgical Instruments

Duplex stainless steel is preferred alloy in surgical instruments, such as forceps, scalpels, and clamps.

Imaging Machines & Scanners

The usage in scanners and imaging machines helps to create accurate imaging.

Hospital furniture & Equipment

Well suitable to be used as beds, tables, and cabinets this is in accordance to its rigors of a hospital environment.

Marine & Offshore

In The marine industry duplex stainless steel is used to produce.

Propeller Shafts

Its high strength that enables it to weight ratio of enormous material make it an ideal choice for shafts.

Ship Hulls

Due to its superior strength it is a preferred material for Hulls.

Anchor Chains

Due to its strength duplex is the preferred alloy to be used in chains.

Piping

Due to anti-corrosion resistance duplex plays in important role in shipboard piping systems.

Deck Hardware

Duplex is a preferred alloy in the usage of deck hardware such as cleats, bollards, clocks.

Marine Fittings

Due to its hardness and anti-corrosion nature it’s well preferred as a alloy for fittings, flanges, valves.

Aerospace

The usage of duplex stainless steel is as mentioned:

Structural Components

The features of this alloy makes it ideal in landing gears, wing spares, plugs, valves, etc.

High temperature Components

The alloy is used in high-temperature components such as exhausts, heat shields, turbine blades, due to its endurance in high temperature.

Hydraulic Systems

In the hydraulic system you can find it in valves and fittings

Fasteners

It is also a preferable alloy for production of fasteners, like bolts and nuts.

Oil & Gas

This alloy is used in production areas in oil & gas companies.

Offshore Platforms

Most preferable product for offshore platforms, since fatigue resistance make this product much suitable for harsh environments.

Subsea Pipelines

A perfect alloy since its highly resistant to fatigue and oxidation making it the choice to subsea platforms.

Downhole Equipment

A primary product for downhole equipment such as drill bits where superior alloy resistance makes it ideal.

Valves and Fittings

Due to its outstanding strength and performance it is used in valves and fittings.

Construction

In the construction industry this alloy is used to construct Bridges, and towers it is also used as steel fortification within concrete for a complete structural foundation, it high strength, anti-corrosive properties, strength and temperature resistance make it an ideal product withstand all.

Chemical

This alloy is well appreciated due to its duplex type, hence it’s wildly used as in pumps, valves, tanks heat exchangers, also suitable for hazardous chemicals while in transport through containers, this is due to its exceptional corrosion properties.
