Duplex Stainless Steel is a type of stainless steel that combines both austenitic and ferritic microstructures. This unique composition gives it enhanced strength and excellent resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for various applications, especially in harsh environments like chemical processing and oil and gas industries. The typical composition of duplex stainless steel includes chromium, nickel, and molybdenum, which contribute to its durability and resistance to stress corrosion cracking. Its high strength allows for thinner sections in construction, leading to weight savings and cost efficiency in manufacturing and design.
