Super Duplex Steel

Overview

Super Duplex Steel is one of the highest-performing stainless steel materials available for critical industrial applications. It combines exceptional corrosion resistance with extremely high mechanical strength, making it a preferred material for offshore, marine, desalination, and chemical processing industries.

Key Benefits

  • Exceptional pitting resistance
  • Outstanding crevice corrosion resistance
  • Superior chloride stress corrosion cracking resistance
  • Very high strength
  • Excellent fatigue resistance
  • Long service life

Industries Served

Super Duplex Steel piping components are extensively used in offshore platforms, subsea systems, oil & gas facilities, marine engineering, desalination plants, petrochemical facilities, and chemical processing plants.

Available Grades

The most common Super Duplex grades are ASTM A182 F53 (UNS S32750) and ASTM A182 F55 (UNS S32760).

Standards

Manufactured according to ASTM A182 and ASME SA182 specifications.

Why Choose Super Duplex Steel?

Super Duplex Steel offers one of the best combinations of corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and lifecycle cost available in the industrial piping industry.
