Duplex Steel S31803 bars are robust stainless steel products known for their unique dual-phase microstructure, which combines austenite and ferrite. This blend results in an impressive mix of mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. Thanks to this balanced structure, these bars boast exceptional toughness, high yield strength, and strong resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking caused by chlorides. They find their place in demanding sectors like chemical processing, petrochemicals, oil and gas, marine, and power generation, where both strength and resistance to corrosion are essential.
Typically, Duplex Steel S31803 bars contain 22–25% chromium, 4–7% nickel, 2–4% molybdenum, and nitrogen, all of which enhance their mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. They offer a tensile strength ranging from about 620 to 850 MPa and a yield strength between 450 and 550 MPa, along with excellent ductility, toughness, and fatigue resistance. The dual-phase microstructure also contributes to their thermal stability and resistance to intergranular corrosion, making them perfect for high-pressure and high-temperature applications.
