The duplex material has combined properties of ferritic and austenitic stainless steel.Its two-phased microstructure gives duplex pipes some excellent mechanical properties like high strength and toughness.They show high ductility and can resist corrosion, including pitting and crevice.The duplex pipe material has a low molybdenum and nickel content, which is why they come at a lower price compared to the traditional ss grades.
The duplex pipe suppliers ensure that the products have high heat conductivity and low thermal expansion.They can be used up to -50 °C.However, ss duplex pipe should not be used in elevated temperature conditions as there is a risk of brittle phase formation in the ferrite.The material shows good weldability and can effectively resist stress corrosion cracking.However, it has low machinability and formability.
Due to all the benefits offered by duplex stainless steel pipes, they can be used for processing, transporting and storing chemicals.The material also makes up the pipes used in oil & gas exploration, production, transportation and refining.
The duplex steel pipes are perfect for marine environments, structural & mechanical components, heat exchangers, etc.

The duplex tubes are magnetic and this property can differentiate the material from the common austenitic grades.
To identify duplex steel tube, look for the markings and labellings on it.It will also indicate the specific material grade.Always purchase the tubes from reputed suppliers like Regent Steel & Engineering Co., who are well known for their quality products and competitive pricing.
You can get material test reports with details about the chemical composition of duplex stainless steel tubes.Examine the products for their physical properties.Conduct non-destructive tests to ensure the quality and integrity of your duplex seamless tubes.
The heat treatment of duplex steel pipes is restricted to their initial production.Once forging or rolling is done, the pipes will undergo solution annealing above 1040 °C.Even though they cannot be hardened by heat treatment, they can be work hardened.
The treatment enhances the resistance of the duplex welded pipe to pitting and crevice corrosion in marine environments.It improves the overall durability of the pipes and make them more cost effective.
