Duplex Steel Round Bar, also referred to as austenitic-ferritic stainless steels, are a family of grades with about equal proportions of ferrite and austenite. These Round Bars have a duplex microstructure which contributes to their high strength and high resistance to stress corrosion cracking. Due to their high content of chromium, nitrogen and molybdenum, duplex steel Round Bar offer good resistance to local and uniform corrosion. Duplex Steel Round Bar have good weldability.
Today, modern duplex stainless steels can be divided into three groups:
- Lean Duplex Steel Plate such as LDX2101
- Standard Duplex Round Bar such as 2205 (UNS S31803/S32205), the work-horse grade accounting for more than 80% of duplex usage
- Super Duplex Round Bar such as Ferralium 255, Zeron 100 and 2507
Of the duplex grades, Duplex Steel Round Bar UNS S32750/S32760 is the most widely used. However, the super duplex steel Round Bar like Zeron® 100 and 2507 are excellent for servicing severe corrosive environments, such as offshore and marine applications. Lean Duplex Plate 2101 is available as an economic alternative to 300 series stainless steels.
