ASTM A182 Duplex Stainless Steel Flanges used in a variety of applications
Duplex stainless steel is designed to combine improved resistance to stress corrosion cracking (including sulfide stress corrosion cracking), pitting, crevice corrosion and high strength when compared with other stainless alloys.
They have high strength in comparison with high austenitic and 22% duplex steels. They have extra ductility and are strong and work well at low temperatures. ASTM A182 Duplex Steel F51 combines improved resistance to stress corrosion cracking, pitting, crevice corrosion and high strength. As a result, this is a highly suitable material for applications dealing with environments containing chlorides and hydrogen sulphide.
