ASTM A182 Duplex Stainless Steel Flanges improved formability and weldbility
S31803 has been supplemented by S32205 (F60) which dual conforms to S31803 but has a higher minimum N, MO, NI and Cr which guarantees a better corrosion resistance.
ASME SA 182 Grade F51 Duplex Steel have significantly better toughness and ductility than ferritic grades (although they do not reach the values of austenitic grades). They are highly suited for temperatures above 300oC because they usually are precipitated by fragile micro-components. Typical applications of ASTM A182 Duplex Stainless Steel F51 Fasteners include pumps, valves, pipework, flanges, etc. together with various applications in the oil and gas, and brewing.
