Duplex stainless steel alloys have ferritic/austenitic properties which give these materials superior strength and excellent resistance to oxidation. While the duplex grade family includes a wide range of specific formulations, Duplex S31803 (2205) and Super Duplex S32750 (2507) stainless steels are two of the most common. These stainless steel products are extremely versatile and have many applications in the oil and gas, petrochemical and chemical processing industries.


S31803 and S32750 Performance
Duplex S31803, also known as Stainless Steel Grade 2205, is a standardised formulation that conforms to UNS specifications. Its temperature range is typically specified as -50° to 300° C (-58° to 572° F), outside of which its performance characteristics degrade. In particular, Duplex S31803 micro-components suffer precipitation with prolonged exposure to high temperatures, and ductility suffers when immersed in extremely cold environments.
Its general capabilities include:
- Excellent oxidation resistance
- Outstanding performance in marine/sea water environments
- Low thermal expansion coefficients
- High heat conductivity
Super Duplex S32750 (2507) is a variant stainless steel alloy used primarily in the oil and gas industry, particularly for offshore platforms, heat exchangers, structural and architectural components. In addition to very high tensile and yield strengths, Super Duplex S32750 is highly resistant to stress corrosion cracking, pitting and is highly weldable and versatile.
