Corrosion Resistance
Duplex steel UNS S31500 has impressive properties, making it a
sought-after material among multiple industries. It is known for
its corrosion resistance and high strength, and toughness. This
makes the alloy suitable for projects that require superior
corrosion resistance, like sea water piping or marine use, chemical
industry and food processing equipment. The combination of good
strength, excellent corrosion resistance and high toughness, even
at low temperatures, make duplex steel UNS S31500 an ideal choice
for demanding applications since it provides more cost-effective
solutions than other alloys.
Heat Resistance
Duplex steel UNS S31500 is known for its superior heat resistance
properties compared to conventional stainless steel alloys. Due to
its two-phase microstructure, the alloy shows excellent oxidation
and corrosion resistance – even in harsh environments. In addition,
it has a higher chromium content which helps it withstand elevated
temperatures without losing ductility or toughness. This makes
Duplex steel UNS S31500 an ideal choice for applications such as
wall panels and linings in chemical processing units, marine
equipment and pressure vessels operating at extreme temperatures.
Heat Treatment
This alloy is resistant to pitting and crevice corrosion and
retains its strength when exposed to temperatures up to 600°C. To
achieve these amazing performance levels, S31500 must be heat
treated carefully to maintain the balance between its ferrite and
austenitic structures. During heat treatment, the alloy may undergo
several cycles of heating and cooling to reach the desired level of
toughness and corrosion resistance. Once it has been heat treated,
duplex steel UNS S31500 can be used for components that require
long-term exposure to corrosive environments or extreme temperature
fluctuations.
